My Bio:

In addition to her consulting practice, Olalah conducts workshops, provides training and speaks professionally on a variety of business topics including strategic marketing, market penetration, differentiation, brand equity and profitability.

Though she now calls Raleigh, North Carolina home, Olalah will always be a "Windy City" girl at heart.

What I do best:

I enjoy speaking on a variety of business topics, women's topics and work/life harmony issues. I also really love providing training. I live for the "ah ha" moment that people get when something that they've struggled with releases and they are one stop closer to embracing the extraordinary.

Here are some topics that I generally present:

~ Targeted marketing planning for better results
~ Principles of strategic marketing
~ Packaging and promoting services as products
~ Market research and analysis on any budget
~ Competitive positioning strategies and differentiation
~ Building and boosting your company's brand equity
~ Trend tracking and interpretation for newbies
~ Profitability and revenue models for any economy
~ Managing company growth through outsourcing and contracting
~ Creating a business model management plan

I also offer presentations that are "canned", meaning, they are not customized, yet always relevant, timely and meaningful to participants.

These presentations include:

~ 15 Characteristics Of Successful Entrepreneurs™
~ Entrepreneurship For Women In Business™
~ Is Your Elevator Speech Killing Your Business?™
~ Marketing Myths & Misconceptions™
~ Is Your Website Killing Your Business?™
~ Marketing Vehicles That Drive Business™
~ Must Have Marketing Tools™
~ The Unforgettable Interview™ - Marketing Yourself For The Job You REALLY Want

I charge a fee of:

$1500-$5K

Some notes on how I charge for my services:

Professional Speaking Fees:

Fees for speaking vary based on a variety factors that are specific to the requester and the audience. While this is difficult to forecast up front, I consider paid speaking opportunities with a minimum budget of two thousand dollars plus travel and accommodations. No compensatory speaking is provided on a limited, case by case basis, required that certain criteria be met in advance.

For Consulting Fees:

Consulting options vary from a one-time, flat fee offering, to a more comprehensive engagement over several months. Consulting options range based on the company's marketing and business goals, fees and terms are negotiated on a client by client process.

I do offer a budget friendly "do at your own pace" product called the Marketing With Ease™ Self Coaching Kit. It can be purchased immediately and usually ships the same day.
