Cindy is always on the lookout for a new challenge. The biggest one of all sent her on a unique if somewhat terrifying journey initially. Having been in Sales & Marketing all her life, she found herself retrenched, HIV positive (2004) and nowhere to turn to, except inward. Defying numerous health issues, she decided to take on the world by disclosing her status, come what may. Surviving, and now thriving after the challenges of HIV, Cancer, TB Meningitis, Pneumonia, Shingles and two Strokes, (between 2004-2008) authenticates that Cindy is in the distinctive position to train and present on Lifestyle Skills Management that has spanned her enterprising and sometimes, hair-raising vocation. Cindy began speaking, training and subsequently authored two books related to her HIV journey and working life which culminated into her PR Ninja business where she now engages in her role as PR Ninja to self-published Author-Entrepreneurs. All of the above lead to #HashtagRadio, providing yet another opportunity to engage with the public

How does a shy, socially awkward introvert become a great salesperson for her business? Balls. Lots of balls. Pool balls to be precise. And a good cue stick, of course. Let’s go back in time a bit. A short trip back to when I joined the ranks of winning pool players. As a new player, I was improving… very slowly… slower than a turtle running a race in peanut butter… Then I was matched against a top-ranked player. The Big Kahuna. The Superstar. The National Champion. The one who makes strong players' knees quiver and hearts pound. Ignorance is bliss. I didn't know any of this. I was told he was too cocky for his own good. It was up to me to knock him down a notch. So, I did. This was the moment I went from a hesitant beginner to a confident winner. Something similar happened when I needed to become a great salesperson for my business. I stepped up at the critical moment when I needed to connect with people and talk about my business. I used social media to create warm leads, land clients, get referrals, and then used email to sell my products. After a lot of course corrections along the way – I started my own business to leverage my marketing, business, technical, research, and writing skills. Today I am a Copywriter specializing in Email and offer Email Marketing Consulting. I also show business professionals how to use social media to identify and connect with their ideal prospect so they can move them to a sales conversation.
