BSETC Overview

We work 100% virtually. We use Basecamp, e-mail and telephone to
communicate to our clients. We use a team based model but we also
have a project manager who reviews Basecamp regularly to ensure things do not get missed.
Most clients work with one team member who helps keep their projects moving and organized and other team members come in to help.
How Do You Work?

I work with my clients in a higher level, big picture, strategy sort of way.
I help our clients break down projects into easily digested chunks and understand what needs to go into each project.
I provide internet marketing strategy and tips on the tools and resources they’ll need to implement and use.
