We want to be ahead of the competition by studying the practice of high profile figures so we can help our clients gain success. If you are a business owner and need advice or motivation, then John is a worthy one to follow.

In the CNBC.com article: “Shark Tank's investor Daymond John shares his No.1 tip for winning someone over,” by Marguerite Ward, John makes valid points by advising to take the focus off yourself and onto the consumer you are pitching to. “A more strategic way to achieve the outcome you want is to use statements that include pronouns like "we" and "us," experts say. Emphasizing shared goals and vision is much more effective than focusing on your personal aspirations,” as stated in the article.

Knowing how to focus and listen to what your consumers need is a skillful strategy to help toward your goals. When you are an entrepreneur you have to think in terms of what your client wants from your service or product. Learn how to put your business goals back into perspective.

Having a great website and User Experience is the main focus at EVE. However, knowing how to put the customer first is a major part of a successful Customer Experience. We are here to help deliver that mastered vision into an Elevated Virtual Experience.

Meet Faraj Nayfa. We are currently managing the social media of his restaurant, Hala In, located in Mayfair neighborhood in Chicago, Illinois. He is a seasoned small business owner of 11 years, and is busy with managing the restaurant.

Since he personally has no time or social media experience to curate an online presence for it, EVE has helped to start the foundation for an online following onInstagram and Facebook to reach customers Faraj would previously have missed out on.

It is important to recognize that social media marketing is becoming the new norm. While the start up of a social media strategy can be overwhelming, it doesn’t have to be.

While you focus on your passion of running your business, EVE is here to focus on our passion of helping you navigate the social media world and digital business.
