Learn Sign Language - Strategy, Marketing, Design, and online presence

"I would like to really thank The Capable Manager for the help she has given me with my Learn Sign Language business. When we met I had a basic website and a singular product that was not marketed at all and was just ticking along on it's own. The Capable Manager helped me look at the foundations and create a marketing strategy, a unique brand, republish and extend the DVD range and completely re design the website to support this new brand. She also helped me and still is helping me promote my Twitter campaign of which has helped me to develop a commercial partnership with a leading body within the Deaf community. The Capable Manager always has the 'next steps' in mind which is useful for me to push the business forward" - Sonia Hollis, MD
