The Buzz…What they’re saying about Steve

Hey Steve! I just wanted to take a minute to shoot you a message and let you know what your presentation has done for me as a fledgling salon owner. When I took over as owner/operator of Electric Rays Tanning Salon last July (2010), our customer’s were spending an average of $18.20. I took the information you gave us last month and put it to good work. I pulled reports today and found that I have raised that average to $79.96 per customer!!! We’ve not only generated over $4000 more than last year at this time I’ve also enrolled 37 BRAND NEW CUSTOMERS this month alone – Folks that have never stepped into our salon!!! I’m telling you this because the information you gave us is what helped me achieve that goal. I’ve utilized our Facebook page, educating our friends, offering specials and just reminding the ones in our area that we’re here. It’s worked! So, thank you, Steve Holt! I really mean that. I owe a lot of this to you and the invaluable information you gave to make this happen. I hope when I see you next, I’ll have plenty more success stories to share with you. Thanks again! This is just the beginning!
Sunshine and smiles,

Loved the presentation in Winston-Salem. I took your advice and am trying to convert my friends to likes. Also, I used some of your suggestions about personalizing everything, and it’s making a big difference in our customer interaction. Thanks!

Steve,

I’m looking at the evaluation forms from today and almost every single one mentions the Google session. You are such a talented teacher – it really is a gift to be able to impart information and have folks willingly stay with you every step of the way.

Thanks so much for sharing of yourself – and knowledge.  Many of the librarians who were with us today have little/no tech support or budget – so you can imagine how impactful it would be to learn of new tools that were free.  So, you can see how your message was a big deal – and how it will trickle out to those Tennesseans who need the info the most.

Sincerely,

Mary Carpenter

Steve,

I would like to personally thank you for such a great presentation at our TCCE Conference in Memphis. I was a bit overwhelmed to say the least; and my mind has hardly stopped since then just thinking about what all I can do with Google! I wrote as fast as I could and am going online this morning to buy the book.

Again, thank you for a VERY informative presentation; it will stick with me for a VERY long time.

I appreciate you,

Technology is growing at a rapid pace and that is why Steve Holt’s workshop on Utilizing Social Media to Help With Company Branding and 51 ½ Ways to Utilize Google were on target with our audience.  He was concise and gave great tips on no cost technology that can help us be more effective in utilizing current technology tools.

Steve-

The process of dry-curing hams dates back to 5000 B.C., and sometimes I feel like our methods of communication do, too!  Thanks so much for bringing our staff back to this century by showing us all the opportunities in marketing through social networks.  The information you presented will really help us further our products with little or no investment!

Thanks again,

Let’s just say I am a technology moron, and Mr. Holt made the subject not only informative by very entertaining!  I particularly enjoyed his style of presentation and how he made a hard subject more fun to learn.
