We have helped clients increase their LinkedIn presence and set up meetings without using the phone to start the conversations. We help increase client profiles to be on page 1 rather than page 101 when your unique skill set is searched for within LinkedIn!

The LadyBugz team focus on how to train and coach your teams to use LinkedIn to build your company brand to stand out to increase engagement that in turn starts generating leads. We assist executives and professionals by managing their LinkedIn profiles which increases engagement with clients. We use tested methods, that we ourselves use, to gain new clients everyday!

Out of frustration, we created the 2016 Entrepreneurship Research Study: Voices of Entrepreneurs in Johannesburg, a self-funded multi-stakeholder research study of 50 entrepreneurs and partners in Johannesburg. I was unhappy with the status quo: many people who had never ever run their own businesses putting millions of rand into programmes to stimulate entrepreneurship. For what? The programmes were failures.

I thought, “Why don’t they ask those of us who have been running businesses?” But no one was asking, so I decided to take my own money and do my own study. It took two years to conceptualise the study, six months to execute it and another nine months before it was adopted by the City of Johannesburg and they rolled out our recommendations. (That part was down to luck).
