We had the good fortune of connecting with Erica Johnson-Maquilon and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Erica, what’s one piece of conventional advice that you disagree with?
One piece of conventional advice that I disagree with is “doing what someone else did to be successful.” Your business has to stand out. Copying how someone else runs their business will get you the same results. You have to be different! Business is not a race. Move at your own pace and everything will happen when it’s supposed to.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
What sets E-Partners Marketing apart from other agencies is that we truly partner with our clients for Social Media, Design, and Public Relations services. An entrepreneur would usually have to hire several different agencies and freelancers to have these 3 services done for them. We make it simple for them to visibility and connection they need to connect with the RIGHT customers. We remove the overwhelm so clients can provide the best customer experience and focus on what they LOVE to do. Happy entrepreneurs = Happy customers.

I’m most proud of seeing my clients’ growth over the years. We’ve seen clients that were posting on Instagram once every few months now posting every single day. Clients that were camera shy, now recording YouTube and podcast episodes consistently. We’ve had clients that were in business for decades without a website. Now they have one, and their businesses are so much better for it. They’ve been able to reach way more people than they could have ever imagined. It makes us happy seeing them reach and exceed their revenue goals. It makes us smile to see their customers smile.

I’d love for others to know that your day dream can become a reality. It will take blood, sweat, tears, late nights, but it will be worth it. I did it, and you can too!
