How to Use Clubhouse Step-by-Step Hands-on Live

Have you joined Clubhouse yet? It’s an audio phone app (not on desktop) that is taking social media by storm.

In this live session, offered March 3, 10 to 11:30 Lynne Williams will guide the group with step-by-step instruction starting on Zoom and everyone will transition to Clubhouse, so please be on time.

This will be an interactive meeting and not a webinar. You must have a current smartphone where you can download the app on your phone either in advance or at this session. You will use your real first and last name and choose a handle (your name or business social media handle).

You will also need to access your desktop to type three words in a live Google doc, unless you are very skilled in changing to/from different apps on your phone.

We also ask for your patience with the attendees who will come with different levels of technology skills so we can all transition at the same time to the Thought Leadership Branding Club on Clubhouse. 

There is no slide deck for this presentation. It will be a live hands-on learning experience! We will be one of the 700,000+ daily rooms.

You will learn the basics of the who, what, where, when, why, and how of the app along with some tips, strategies, and best practices. Learn what a green bean is as well as the stage, hallway, mod, co-mod, backchannel, clubs, rooms, and more hacks (like how you clap).

Don’t experience FOMO! Learn how you can tap into a new way for small businesses to do business as an entrepreneur and engage in conversations based on your personal interests.

Pricing Strategies for Small Businesses to Maximize Profits

Proper pricing is more complex than most of us realize. Successful businesses focus first on what customers are actually willing to pay for the value their products or services deliver. Too much attention has been placed on markups, margins and matching competition biased by personal judgment and not enough market analysis.

Pricing is the most powerful contributor for growing revenues and improving profitability in any product category, service or business model. Optimizing pricing requires thinking more holistically…more about strategy.

In this online training webinar offered March 10 from 10 to 11:30 a.m., you will learn how to use effective and practical tools to evaluate value vs. competitive offerings and test out pricing options. The end result will bring more customers, boost sales and improve overall profits.

Join this webinar to:

  • Understand your options: price strategies, price positions and perceptions
  • Learn how to analyze the value your product or service creates from the customer’s perspective
  • Compare the differences between Cost-plus Pricing and Value-based Pricing options
  • Learn about methods to evaluate pricing in the competitive marketplace
