Actually, there is no “us”, there is just me, Sheldon Nesdale.

Now is the time to invest in improving and strengthening your business.

I can help you if you are in one of the following types of businesses:

  1. Do you have a micro-business that you run on-the-side of your day job?
    • If so, I can definitely help - I have 8 micro businesses of my own
  2. Do you run a one-man-band business like me?
    • If so, I can definitely help – I have 3 years experience being a one-man-band myself
  3. Do you have a small business (you + a few employees)?
    • If so, I can probably help – Most of my clients are small businesses and they all love me. If you are deeply passionate about your business, let’s talk. If you are a bit bored of it and just want someone to fix it, don’t bother.
  4. Do you have a medium sized business (you + 10 or more employees)?
    • If so, I might be able to help – call me and we can talk about your project
  5. Do you have a larger business (you and 20+ employees)?
    • If so, I might be able to help - call me and we can talk about your project

You may be wondering “Is Sheldon qualified to help me with my business?”

Yes, I think so. For 6 reasons:

  1. To start with, I’m a darn good listener
    • I’ll ask you probing questions to get to the heart of what you want to achieve
    • God gave me 2 ears and 1 mouth for a reason, I’m here to hear twice as much as I talk
  2. Secondly, I cut-the-crap and get to the point
    • Once I understand what you need, if I can’t help, I’ll tell you. And I’ll probably be able to refer you on to someone who can help
    • If I think I can help, then great!
  3. Third, I have been living and breathing marketing since 2002 (9 years). I just love it!
    • It started with 4 years at Waikato University where I completed a Bachelor of Electronic Commerce with 1st class honours, majoring in Marketing and Communications
    • For 9 months I worked for a web design company here in Tauranga
    • For 3 years I worked as a Marketing Executive for a group of companies here in Tauranga
    • And since then (about 3 years) I’m a Marketing Consultant, ready and willing to work with you on your business
    • Marketing Campaign Strategies – I’ve helped develop 38 marketing campaign strategies
    • Advertising Mediums – I’ve had experience with just about every marketing and advertising medium you can think of (Related Article: 60 ways to advertise your business)
    • Websites – I’ve built 19 websites from the ground up (websites are one of my favourite advertising mediums). (Related Article: How to build a website that wins you business)
  4. Fourth, I love business, and I’d love to hear about yours
    • New Businesses – I’ve helped launch 11 new businesses in the last 7 years
    • Business Plans – I’ve written 24 business plans
  5. Fifth, I love to learn
    • I read a lot of business books: On average I’ve read about 1 every week since August 2008 (read summaries of my favourite business books). For a few dollars I get to reach into the minds of the greatest business people and steal their ideas, what a privilege!
    • I’ve invested $50,000 in my brain through tertiary education:
      • MBA: Masters in Business Administration (2011, Waikato University)
      • Post Graduate Certificate in Business Management (2009, Waikato University)
      • Bachelor of Electronic Commerce – Majoring in Marketing and Communications, 1st Class Honours (2006, Waikato University)
    • And I’d love to learn how your business works and what challenges you are facing. I’d like to help
  6. Sixth, I’m a business mentor with Business Mentors New Zealand

Are You Involved With a Non-Profit?

  • If so, I may be available to help you with your marketing at no charge. Give me a call to discuss
  • I’m working with Neighbourhood Support for Papamoa and Mount Maunganui areas in 2011. I’m advising them on how to streamline their email communication
  • I worked with the Tauranga Single Parents Support Group for 11 months in 2010/2011. I advised on marketing strategy

Could Your Board Room Benefit From an Digital Marketing Expert?

  • My objective for 2012 is to become the director for 3 small/medium sized businesses in Tauranga. If you think I would be valuable to you at a board level, call me
  • Eventually I’d like paid positions, but I may be willing to waive any directors fee’s in exchange for board experience
  • If you think your business is too small to have a board of directors, think again. Call me and I’ll tell you what I mean
