Greg Hyer

Hi! I'm Greg Hyer. I am a Digital Marketing Manager that's increasing Growth and Engagement with Content and Social Selling methods

I'm originally from Rhode Island and have lived in a number of different places along the East Coast including Florida, Virginia, and Maryland. My wife decided to settle down in the Johnston County town of Four Oaks, about 20 minutes south of Raleigh, North Carolina. My wife and I have been married for more than a decade and have five children.I take professional networking seriously. I'm a giver rather than a taker. I look at networking relationships as an opportunity to know what someone can do for someone I may know. I encourage professionals that I meet to examine their networking strategies and show them that putting others before themselves will get them much further.Spiritual capitalism is a belief of mine. Integrity and commitment are just as important to a business as efficiency and profitability. It's important to take into consideration how the decisions of a business affect the world at a macro and micro level. The mentality in business of the survival of the fittest is over.I'm an aspiring growth hacker. Marketing requires a certain toolset to bring attention to it. I used tools such as CRM, marketing automation, email marketing, social media advertising and other social selling tools to generate interest and capture leads.Marketing and Sales organizations are evolving at a rapid pace. It doesn't matter if you are marketing for a startup or a publicly traded company. These organizations have to keep up because consumers and buyers are changing the buying experience. Most choose to search for and use digital content to find answers to their questions. Content Marketing and Social Selling are skills that any good Marketing and Sales team should have in alignment in today's digital economy.I hope I can become a resource to you. Thank you for visiting.
