We are starting off season 3 strong with School PR's greatest cheerleader! Andrea Gribble, founder of Social Schools for EDU, joins Erin to talk all things social media and staying positive in an ever evolving world.

In 2013 after a successful 13 years working in corporate America, Andrea Gribble found herself a laid off, single mother with no choice but to head back home to live with her parents. After a stint of helping small businesses make their mark on different social media platforms, she decided to niche down when asked by a friend and superintendent of a small K-12 school in Wisconsin to help start their social media presence. This experience is what ultimately led her down the path to where she is sitting now as CEO of a million-dollar company known as; #SocialSchool4Edu.

Andrea Gribble had 13 years experience in the corporate world when she decided to start her own business. It wasn’t easy, but today, her company #SocialSchool4Edu, has a team of more than 20 and serves nearly 70 school districts throughout the country. After working with her daughter’s school district, she learned that many schools lack the time and expertise to feel comfortable with social media and #SocialSchool4EDU was born from that desire to help other schools do the same.   I met Andrea a few years back at a National School Public Relations Association National Seminar in Chicago and she is infectious. She’s outgoing, friendly, helpful and humble and in just a few short years she has built her company up by bootstrapping and pure hustle. It certainly wasn’t without risk and turmoil as she will discuss in this episode, which was recorded during the NSPRA 2018 National Seminar in Anaheim, part of my NSPRA Podcast Sessions recorded in the hotel lobby. This is a fun episode about entrepreneurship and following your passions even when things get tough.   Visit Andrea’s company online at www.socialschool4edu.com

Listen in to find out more.   Today, Andrea talks to Ursula about:   Her business, how she got started and the limiting beliefs that she held in the beginning. How really difficult it was for her to sell in the beginning. Thinking outside of the box about ways to generate interest, that could lead to presentations at schools. The first time doubled her sales and the limiting beliefs she had to overcome at the time. How she realized that she was really helping people. How her beliefs about sales and selling changed after she tripled her sales. How she kept herself going in the beginning, after getting 'no's'. How doing little things every day works way better that doing big things occasionally. The number one limiting belief that she has changed, since starting her business. Some of the creative ways that she's used to develop her team and grow her business. The advice she would give to herself (or others) now, about starting her business. The top two strategies that she used, to double her sales for the first time. The vast number of articles that she's written about social media. Two of the strategies that she uses currently, to beat the algorithms for social media. What she has to offer schools, on her website. Niching down- as a key way to add value to your business.     Links:   Andrea's website: www.socialschool4edu.com                            www.socialschool4edu.com/resources    Andrea on Twitter: @andreagribble   Ursula's website: www.salescoachnow.com   Ursula's email: ursula@salescoachnow.com
