Social Selling via LinkedIn / Networking That's Not Sleazy

I worked with Sandy to update and improve my LinkedIn profile, but I got so much more. In addition to helping me craft a far more compelling profile, she gave me the confidence to share my successes online. Sandy’s approach is thorough, interactive and fun. She is truly a pleasure to work with.

I hired Sandy to assess my LinkedIn profile and to provide recommendations for improving it and my LinkedIn/social media activity as a marketing lever. She delivered in spades. In just a few hours, she showed me how to make the most of my LinkedIn profile, from modifying the tone and content of my profile, to optimizing my settings to gain the right eyeballs strategically. She was honest, creative, candid, smart and an unusual expert in this area. I would hire Sandy again and again.

Sandy has helped me with both my basic LinkedIn profile as well as how to use LinkedIn groups more effectively for my marketing plans and networking opportunities. She knows the in's and outs of L-I so well and showed me lots of little things I never even knew I could do! Our time together was efficient, fun and so useful. I highly recommend her if you want to make more out of your LinkedIn connections for leads, referrals or just general brand awareness.

I shared an office with Sandy in '06 when she was developing PayScale B2B business development strategies and working on major strategic distribution accounts. As head of B2B marketing, I was her counterpart for rolling out her partnerships. She is a highly knowledgeable, energetic, and results-oriented manager that organized and drove initiatives efficiently and with a positive attitude. She is one of those clear-sited managers that can clearly state what needs to be done and negotiate/cajole/charm other team members to help complete tasks, without being antagonistic or annoying. she is very professional and a genuine pleasure to work with.

Sandy provided our Columbia Hospitality sales directors with training in LinkedIn. She was extremely helpful in explaining and demonstrating various ways LinkedIn can help our sales team find appropriate business connections. She also provided the training with an uplifting tone that kept everyone engaged and excited about learning.

Sandy works at great length to understand the context of her engagement -- the business model, history, competitors, technology, etc., which helps her be more effective in her work. During her work at Jobster, she was great at representing our organization while reaching out to potential partners, establishing many new relationships, and mending any past relationships that may have gone sour. Sandy was responsible for forging many of the successful partnerships we have today. I'd happily work with Sandy again given the opportunity.

High-energy and focused, Sandy builds project momentum and drives it forward with her enthusiasm and attention to detail. She deftly generates new external relationships while managing existing ones, building new business while making sure existing customers receive attention and feel cared for. I look forward to working with Sandy again.

Sandy is the consummate professional and is always proposing ways to improve your business whether by revamping processes or connecting you up with one of her vast network contacts in order to improve sales, reduce costs or establish strategic partnerships.

I had the pleasure of working with Sandy while developing a strategic alliance between Experience and Jobster. Although there were similar alliance structures in both companies’ pasts, we did encounter areas that needed restructuring and compromise. Through the entire process Sandy was enthusiastic that we would persevere and get to a mutually beneficial arrangement – which we did! She was also extremely creative in her approach, reasonable in her negotiations, responsive in her follow up and a very pleasant person with whom to work. Sandy is an asset to Jobster!

Sandy has done a great job at DI, she's generated a lot of business development activity and created some high profile relationships. We're lucky to have her.
