New inspiration on how experts attract clients and find new business in their niche. This interview with Deirdre Breakenridge is about public relations and social media and how she gets new clients.
The Expert
Deirdre has worked over 20 years in the communications industry. At one time she had an agency with about 40 people. Now she is the founder and CEO of Pure Performance Communications with only a few people who all work from their homes. A good way to combine entrepreneurship and family.
Reaching today’s consumer and creating brand loyalty requires a unique blend of strategic communications and innovative technology.

Deirdre’s blog
In this post, How Evernote Helped Me To Write My Book, she explains how she used Evernote to write her most recent book.
For me, Evernote was the first step in my book. As soon as I received my contract from Pearson Education, I started my chapter outline and also set up notes for the many experts I wanted to reach out to for interviews. I used Evernote as a step-by-step “To Do” list as I contacted, interviewed, and wrote expert passages.
