En mis consultorías de marketing digital para personas de la tercera edad, busco ofrecer un espacio de aprendizaje inclusivo y accesible. Muchas personas mayores sienten temor o frustración al enfrentarse al lenguaje y a los conceptos de redes sociales, que no siempre están adaptados a sus necesidades. Mi enfoque es enseñar de una forma clara y libre de estereotipos, ayudándoles a sentirse seguros al aprender y al aplicarlo para promover sus propios proyectos o negocios. Superar los obstáculos asociados al entorno digital se convierte en parte del proceso, generando confianza en cada paso. Las personas de la tercera edad, aprender de una manera diferente y es importante enseñarles a su ritmo.

2 Network Smartly

Networking is essential, but smart networking is key. Focus on building relationships within industries where your consulting services are most needed. Attend conferences, join professional associations, and participate in online forums related to your field. When networking, listen more than you speak, and aim to understand the challenges potential clients face. This approach not only positions you as an expert but also as a problem-solver who adds value.

3 Utilize Testimonials

Testimonials are powerful tools for building credibility. Encourage satisfied clients to share their positive experiences working with you. These endorsements can then be featured on your website, in brochures, and across social media platforms. Testimonials provide social proof that your services are effective and valued by others, which can be a significant deciding factor for potential clients considering your consulting services.

Para iniciar mi proceso como consultora para las personas de la tercera edad, organicé un taller gratuito, donde solo asistieron 4 personas; para mi segundo taller asistieron un total de 14 personas, la mayoría llegaron por referidos de esas 4 primeras personas, fue muy satisfactorio para mi, porque entendí la importancia de abarcar ese problema específico que tenemos en la actualidad, pero que por querer abarcar otros nichos que pueden ser más atractivos y más grandes, dejamos pasar ciertas oportunidades (clientes potenciales) que pueden ser el éxito de nuestra carrera profesional.
