Create a personal marketing plan

GEN-ers, some of you know Richard, one of our leaders/members. We'd like to thank him today for sharing his marketing plan with us. It's shown below, although we've changed the contact info for privacy reasons.

A marketing plan can be a valuable tool when you're making a career change. Richard allowed us to share his as an example of what you can create, and if you'll scroll down further, you'll find a template to use when making up your own.

By the way, the formatting features of this plan dropped off when I pasted it into the blog. That's unfortunate, because it really looks impressive when it's printed out. If you'd like a hard copy, so you can duplicate the formatting at home, or if you want me to email the formatted plan to you, just let me know at Lynn(put the "at" sign here)fpcdouglasville.org
