I learned how to harness the full potential of social media for marketing purposes, which has tremendously increased my clientele.
I have master’s degrees in business administration and oil and gas management and am currently pursuing a PhD in management. Combined with the HerVenture app, I have had great resources at my fingertips, contributing to my success as an entrepreneur.
When it comes to the HerVenture app, I have especially enjoyed the modules covering bookkeeping and digital marketing and have already implemented some of the lessons learned. Now, our records are more systematic and organized, and we also have an online presence. I learned how to harness the full potential of social media for marketing purposes, which has tremendously increased my clientele. The app also taught me key terminology, which has increased my confidence when representing the company.
