Business Visibility Series

Host: Carol Roderick, Phd

Featured Guest: Paul Huntley, Paula Huntley Consulting

This week I had the pleasure of interviewing Featured Guest Paula Huntley on The Business Visibility series.

Paula is a super accomplished business woman with a wealth of business savvy that comes from a career in retail management in big box stores, her personal commitment and contributions to non-profits and charitable organizations, to starting her own home staging and redesign business. She brings it all of these together in now through Paula Huntley Consulting. And if that were not enough, Paula also serves as a Councillor for the Town of Kentville, Nova Scotia. This is a high-energy, high-powered woman who is driven by building and strengthening her community and lifting others up.

Truly Inspiring!

We talk about finding ways to contribute and building up the community around you - a clear passion of Paula's, business mentoring for young people, entrepreneurs and new business owners and the creative approach she took to get her business 'out there - for free' that led to a big break in her staging and re-design business.

Selected Quotes

Host: What is the best marketing and advertising strategy you've seen in your career?

"the first one that I learned very quickly is Ask Them What They Want....Before I spent any money in marketing. I needed to find out where do I market, and what's the most important?...On Facebook I started to track responses, and make my own notes: oh, this is what they like, this is what they like. "

-Paula Huntley

"I know its a lot of work on social media because once you start it, you can't stop it. ... But it has paid off in dividends for me."

-Paula Huntley

"People who are marketers and they teach how to do that, I bow down to them because, It is a talent like no other. And if I had my way, if I could go back 20 years and think about what would I do differently, I probably would've invested a little bit more into the marketing piece."
