- [Social Media Consulting](https://theccbb.com/product/social-media-consulting/): This Done With You service provides two hours of dedicated consulting time with a social media professional to discuss your business's social media questions, challenges, or opportunities\. This session is designed for small business owners, whether you are already active on social media or have not yet started\-the session will be tailored to your current situation and goals\.

Before your session, you will complete a short form to indicate the topics you want to discuss\. The session is held virtually and will be recorded for your reference\.

This is a guidance and consulting session, not an implementation service\. The consultant will not perform hands\-on work such as setting up accounts, creating content, or managing your social media presence\. Instead, the focus is on helping you understand your options, develop clarity around your social media approach, and identify concrete next steps you can take\.

\<strong\>Objectives:\</strong\>
The objective of this consulting session is to provide CCBB Members with expert guidance and strategic direction for their social media efforts\. The consultant will listen to your questions, discuss your business goals, and help you explore different approaches and strategies that align with what you're trying to accomplish\.

This is an open, collaborative discussion where the consultant will ask questions to better understand your situation, share insights and recommendations based on your specific context, and help you think through decisions about platforms, content, audience, and strategy\. No business results or social media performance outcomes are guaranteed\.

\<strong\>Finished Products:\</strong\>
No finished products such as reports, documents, or forms will be provided\. The session will be recorded and provided to the member\.
- [Social Media Audit](https://theccbb.com/product/social-media-audit/): This Done With You service is designed for small business owners who have been actively posting on social media for 30\-90 days but aren't seeing the engagement, reach, or business results they expected\. This audit will not be helpful if you have not yet started posting regularly on social media, as there must be existing content and activity to review\.

The audit covers up to two social media platforms of your choice, with a maximum look back period of 90 days\. You will be required to complete a questionnaire about your business goals and current social media approach\. Once the questionnaire is submitted, your review session will be scheduled approximately one week later\. You will receive a detailed PDF audit report 24 hours before your scheduled 60\-minute virtual review meeting \(which will be recorded\)\. The report will include performance metrics and what those numbers mean for your business, an analysis of your content based on the goals you provide, and specific recommendations for how to better align your social media activity with your business objectives\.

To prepare for the audit, you will need to provide access to your social media analytics accounts for the platforms being reviewed\. Written instructions for granting access will be provided in advance\. You are encouraged to review the PDF report before the meeting and come prepared with any specific questions you'd like addressed during the review session\.

\<strong\>Objectives\</strong\>
The objective of this audit is to help CCBB Members understand how their current social media efforts are performing and identify concrete action steps to better align their social media activity with their business goals\. The review meeting is a collaborative discussion where the social media expert will walk through the findings, answer questions, and help the member explore different approaches they could take\.

The expert will analyze your content and metrics in the context of the business goals you've shared, explain what the data reveals about your current strategy, and suggest possible next steps\. This is an educational and exploratory session\. No specific business outcomes or performance improvements are guaranteed\.

\<strong\>Finished Products\</strong\>
Members will receive one PDF audit report covering up to two selected social media platforms\. The report will include performance metrics, content analysis, and recommendations\. The 60\-minute review meeting will be recorded and provided to the member\.

\<p class="p1"\>The session also includes a high\-level, conceptual explanation of how email sign\-up forms commonly connect to websites and social media platforms\. In the second session, the business owner and subject matter expert work together during the live session to collaboratively draft four welcome emails\. The subject matter expert provides guidance, feedback, and examples, while the business owner remains the final decision\-maker and author of all content\. Draft emails are saved within the business owner’s existing email service provider during the session\.\</p\>
\<p class="p1"\>The session also includes general guidance on how a welcome sequence automation is typically structured so emails are sent automatically to new subscribers\. Final implementation decisions remain the responsibility of the business owner\.\</p\>

- [Networking for Lead Generation](https://theccbb.com/product/networking-for-lead-generation/): Many small business owners attend networking events hoping something good will happen but struggle to know if their time is paying off\. In this DWY offering, you’ll work with a facilitator to build a clear approach to selecting events, guiding conversations, and tracking simple metrics so you can reflect on your efforts\. This is not about scripts or guarantees, it’s about gaining clarity, consistency, and confidence in how you network as a business owner\. 

This Done\-With\-You \(DWY\) offering is designed for small business owners who want a more intentional and thoughtful approach to face\-to\-face networking\. Instead of attending events without a clear plan, participants work alongside a subject matter expert to develop a repeatable framework for choosing networking events, guiding conversations, and evaluating whether their efforts are worth continuing\. The sessions focus on helping participants think more clearly about how networking fits into their overall business development activities\. 

This offering is educational and exploratory in nature and will take place over five 1\-hour sessions\. It does not promise lead volume, revenue outcomes, or sales results\. Success depends on the participant’s willingness to attend networking events and consistently apply the discussed approach\. 

\<strong\>Objectives: \</strong\>
The objective of this DWY offering is to help participants gain clarity around how to approach in\-person networking in a structured and deliberate way\. Through guided discussion, participants will explore how to plan which events to attend, how to frame conversations to support business development goals, and how to reflect on their networking activity using simple, self\-tracked metrics\. The focus is on improving decision\-making and evaluation, not guaranteeing results\. 

\<strong\>How the Sessions Work: \</strong\>
Sessions are conducted as guided discussions with an experienced facilitator\. The facilitator will ask questions to understand the participant’s current networking habits and business context\. Together, they will outline a practical approach to networking that the participant can test in real\-world settings\. Between sessions, participants are expected to attend networking events and track basic activity metrics in a spreadsheet\. Subsequent sessions include review and discussion of what was observed, what felt effective, and what may need adjustment\. 

\<strong\>Finished Products: \</strong\>
No finished products such as lead lists, scripts, CRM systems, or sales materials are provided\. Any tracking or notes are maintained by the participant for their own learning and reflection\. 

\<strong\>Important Notes and Disclaimers: \</strong\>
This is a Done\-With\-You educational offering\. No guarantees are made regarding leads, conversions, or revenue\. Results depend on the participant’s effort, consistency, and business circumstances\. This offering does not include role\-playing, sales coaching, CRM setup, or direct lead generation services\. 

\<strong\>Required Subject Matter Expert Qualifications: \</strong\>
Experience working with small business owners on business development and networking strategy, with an understanding of early\-stage and growth\-stage business challenges\.
