Whether looking for a job, changing careers, or building your own business one of the most common challenges for women is getting more comfortable with selling – selling a product, service, or most importantly, yourself!
On Girlfriend We Gotta Talk radio show, our guest Maureen O’Brien is here to help. Maureen is the author of “Get Your Big Girl Pants On and Sell Something” and has more than 25 years of experience of corporate, retail, and in-home selling. We found out her keys to success that make selling so much easier for every girlfriend.

Twitter is one of the hot social media tools today. But, did you know that it’s also one of the most innovation and useful tools for finding a job? It’s true! Companies large and small are using Twitter to find great candidates because it saves a ton of time and money. But if you’re not on Twitter or being smart how to use it, they will never find you.
Do you or someone you know own a business? What are they doing in these tough economic times to “Ride the Wave”? That’s what we asked three business owners at the Retail Marketing Expo on Tuesday, August 3, 2010, held at the Greater Richmond Convention Center.
The Expo had over a 1000 attendees and was a great place to meet face-to-face with the media, advertising, and technology in the Richmond region; discover marketing products and services, and attend powerful education sessions.
In front of a live audience, we chatted with Jo Ann Rossi of Zooom Printing, Melissa Ball of Ball Office Products, and Kym Grinnage, Station Manager and General Sales Manager of NBC12 in Richmond, VA. Listen to our replay and hear how the economy is affecting their business, and more importantly, what they are doing differently to keep keepin’ on!
Special thanks to Pearl’s Cupcake Shoppe for helping us bribe, we mean thank, Tim Hurley and Chris Reed from WLEE 990 AM for technical support. We think your Double Trouble chocolate cupcake with chocolate frosting describes them well!
