Michelle Huff Elliot, founder of HUFF Events & PR and co-founder of Strategic Heights Media
Charge What You’re Worth – When I first began my company 13 years ago, I would charge new clients lower fees because I was new to the PR/Events industry. As I matured as an entrepreneur, I realized I bring more to the table then just media placements and editor relationships. My creative vision, ideas and relationships with amazing and powerful people, has afforded me the opportunity to broker strategic partnerships, produce and manage events from soup to nuts, AS WELL AS, execute a public relations strategy flawlessly. I now approach new business meetings differently and do not mind a healthy negotiation, but I will never settle for less money than my company resume and proven experience is worth.
