About the author
Danelle Brown is the founder and president of Queen Bee Consulting and a certified Book Yourself Solid business coach. She specializes in showing family- and couple-owned businesses how to get more clients than they can handle! Brown is known for turning ordinary businesses into extraordinary ones. Along with her husband, she is also the owner and marketing director for MB Tech, Inc., in Glen Carbon, Illinois. Using technology and her innate creativity to reach her various audiences through non-traditional means, Brown runs several websites and blogs devoted to business topics. She has also earned the nicknames “master networker” and “Queen Bee of Connections” in her geographic and online communities.
After receiving her degree in interior design in 1997, Brown went on to work with several prestigious, family-owned design firms in St. Louis, Missouri. In 1996, she and her husband started a home-based business. Because of her extensive marketing and promotional efforts and the time she’s spent “learning how the world works,” Brown and her husband continue to grow their company not only through smart marketing efforts, but also through client retention and word of mouth.
Brown’s specialties include social media, business coaching, marketing, and accountability programs. She instructs business owners and helps them implement their social media strategies and marketing plans. She’s also an expert at connecting people and showing them how to network. On her blog and Facebook page she often writes about her networking experiences and things she’s learned from talking with other business owners. Not surprisingly, she adds new followers every day. Brown has also managed MB Tech’s newsletter, Technology Bytes, for more than three years and continues to grow it through word of mouth. Additionally, Brown hosts several Mastermind groups where she counsels and guides small business owners each month.
Danelle and her husband, Marcel, have two young girls, Isabella and Elena. The Browns are extremely active in their children’s private school, Lahr-Well Academy. When she is not working or being a mommy, Brown enjoys cooking, wine tasting and traveling.
