"Anita was kind enough to come along to a Plugged Into Sackville event and share her top pointers on how to manage a Facebook Business Page. We were impressed with the valuable nuggets that she shared. She is a fantastic teacher who really makes the easy to understand. Our members walked us away feeling more comfortable about what to do and what not to do. Bravo Anita!!"

Debbie Adams, Business Strategist

"I wanted to thank you for the presentation yesterday at our dealer meeting. I received some good positive feedback. I really like the fact that you did some ground work before, and visited their web sites. The folks really appreciated that you did not push on them your services, and did not insist on just pitching your services. They liked your neutral approach, and honestly that was the best sales pitch you could have made!!!!"

If you believe in the power of social media and you agree that too many people overcomplicate what they’re doing, it sounds like we have something to chat about. Send me a few notes and we’ll see if we are a good fit.
