BIO
Andrea
Reynolds was considered "least likely to succeed" by her
high school teachers and classmates. After attending 7
universities in 3 countries she graduated with a degree in
both marketing and family studies. She has hosted and
co-hosted talk radio in both the US and Canada, hosted a
television show, published how-to books for over 20 years,
published 6 newsletters, and written advice columns since
she was 15. As a marketing strategist, she has been hired
by some of the most brilliant experts and independent
professionals in the world as well as Fortune/Financial
Post 100 corporations for her marketing solutions and
strategies.
Andrea has appeared as an occasional guest expert on CBC's
"Morningside" with the late Peter Gzowski, CFRB radio, on
"Dini", CityTv's "Breakfast Television", Global News at
Noon, CBC Evening News, and was quoted in Time, Success,
USA Today, Entrepreneur, Globe and Mail, Financial Post,
National Post, Canadian Business, Toronto Star, etc. She
has been listed in various "who's who" directories in
Toronto and Canada.
She became her own first client in 1977 after attempting to
hire a Toronto public relations firm to gain exposure for
her (then) wardrobe consulting service. The agency wanted a
$3,000 fee to "take a few editors to lunch to talk about
her." Marketing degree in hand, Andrea knew she could do as
much for herself for far less money. As she became more
visible two author-management consultants asked her to
promote them and her expert-promotion practice was launched
in 1979.

SEMINAR/WORKSHOP TITLES
Turning Free Publicity into Paid Activities. At first, receiving press coverage was exciting and it helped you generate some book sales and some visibility. But lately you've been getting interview requests from journalists which require you to do a lot of fact-finding and analysis. It seems the journalist gets accolades and payment for all the research you did for a great story, your sources get more coverage than you and neither your book nor your web site are mentioned. This seminar shows you specific steps you can take to get the respect and recognition you deserve and get paid for your knowledge and advice. (3 hour seminar; 6 hour workshop)
"You're Smart... Why Aren't You Earning Enough?" Smart Tips that Take You from Chronic Financial Crisis to Financial Comfort Have you ever asked yourself that question? Are you writing for free, speaking for free, or giving away your time and advice for free? Are you having trouble saying no to inappropriate requests? Are you accepting projects that don't pay you enough, or are you turning away projects which could pay you what you need? Learn very specific ways to stop under-valuing and under-pricing yourself. Specific tips to change your thinking, change your behavior, and change your financial picture. (Booklets are available for sale to audiences) (One to three hours)
