Testimonials
I wanted to send a "Thank you" email for the wonderful presentation you gave regarding Google! I learned many tools that I am sure will be of value to the school. -Mary M.
Stasia, thank you for giving such a fine presentation. I would like to come again for Course 11. -Marie J.
Hello. I attended your AdWords seminar this past fall. I have been meaning to email you and say that I had a great time and learned quite a bit about advertising on Google. Your training has been instrumental in my work. -Chris G.
Just a quick note to thank you for an excellent seminar presentation. It was definitely worthwhile & I only wish it could be expanded into a 2-3 day workshop. -Dave R.
I just wanted to follow up to let you know how much I enjoyed your seminar yesterday. I was very impressed with not only your knowledge of AdWords, SEO and the like, but your presentation skills are absolutely first class. I thought you did an excellent job of covering the material, staying on schedule, keeping control of the audience, all with an energy level that seemed to be endless. -John M.
Thanks for the good AdWords seminar. I walked away with some new insights. Thanks especially for not turning it into a 'motivational' seminar. -Dorian J.
Just a quick note to say how much I appreciated your thorough and concise presentation. In terms of value, this was probably one of the best business seminars I have attended. -Richard B.
The seminar was fantastic; I'm looking forward to the next level! -Claire M.
Just a note to let you know what a great job I think you did at the AdWords seminar. You kept the seminar moving, demonstrated all the important concepts about AdWords with great screen visuals and no access to the web and answered people's questions directly and clearly. I especially appreciated the effort you went to in updating all your visuals to have relevancy to a the audience - and loading the PPT onto all those USB keys went above and beyond the call. Congrats - I'll recommend the seminar to my peers. -Andrew B.
Thanks for sending out the code. I went on the Google web site and the code was accepted. I enjoyed your seminar! It was very informative and really explained a lot of key things about working with Google. -Ken L.
Please enjoy this really-quick THANK YOU for sharing so much with us at the AdWords Seminar. -Bev W. & Melissa B.
I enjoyed the Adwords seminar very much. I thought you did a great job! You are one of the best seminar instructors I've ever had, and I've had quite a few over the years. I've also taught seminars before so I was really able to appreciate how well you handled the various situations that came up during the class. You were professional, patient, and somehow managed to keep the seminar moving but still answer a vast array of questions. -Miles B.
Stasia, this is going to sound over the top and all gaga -- because it is and you deserve it. I have not been at a better seminar. You did an amazing job today -- I actually think the whole Google thing is quite simple and at the same time complex. It is an amazing, powerful and innovative tool -- the more you learn the more there is to master. You did an eloquent, spirited and informative presentation -- I still don't know how you got through that much material on time. I knew a little but learned a lot. -Michael G.
Thanks for your time, I so enjoyed learning more - extremely helpful and you did an awesome job of moving it along - everything discussed was explained so that even a beginner could understand. I personally gained from what you discussed and hope to have time this weekend to apply what I learned. Thank you again and Thousands of KUDOS!!!!! -Mary M.
The day was more than informative, and you are outstanding. We have "downloaded" some of the information to others on the staff so far. The seminar was indeed a value. -Mike D.
Thanks for the AdWords credit. Your presentation was excellent! In my business, I sit through many presentations that are not informative or interesting. Your seminar was both. I have already changed our use of AdWords to take advantage of the information you shared. -David G.
I just wanted to thank you again for such a great seminar today. You made a potentially VERY long day into an extremely educational experience as well as an enjoyable one. You are clearly a professional in every sense of the word. -Alison E.
Thanks for the personal attention. That credit redemption process was as easy as it gets. I enjoyed your seminar and believe it was worth it for what I learned. We are currently in the process of implementing four of you major points. -Lee D.
Your seminar was outstanding. -Greg R.
You were energetic (despite your cold), well prepared, very informative, well cadenced, unfailingly patient, answered all questions authoritatively, and you stayed on task. We all received a great deal of helpful information which can be directly applied to our websites. -John S.
Thank you so much for the Google AdWords workshop! It was very informative and helpful. After the workshop, I separated the content campaign and keyword campaign, and the CTR for our keyword campaigns went up to 2-3% immediately! Very exciting! -Ting Ting W.
Thank you for the excellent seminar and the prompt notification of the credit for attending. I learned some valuable information, and I appreciate your presentation. -Dennis D.
I enjoyed the seminar. You're a fantastic presenter! I'll be looking for more inside tips at the advanced session. -Rom C.
Thank you for a very informative session Monday. You packed a lot of great content into a relatively short period. I look forward to implementing many of your suggestions. -Steve S.
It was a real pleasure to meet you. Your demeanor and presentation were about as professional as I've seen~ well done. You've inspired me to redouble our SEM efforts and engage in a number of tests. -Eric Q. Director, Marketing & Sales Appellation America
