You were extremely generous in the depth of information you shared on the vital steps to optimizing your website, exploring Google free tools and explaining why we need to be on Face book and Twitter.

“I took Kathryn’s class and received so much valuable information on getting my website to rank, within a couple of weeks I was on page two of Yahoo! She took the time to go over various vehicles to assist in ranking as well as promote listings. Every Realtor should have a website and focus on ranking, studies indicate that 90% of buyers initiate their search on the internet, it was a no brainer for me to attend the class. The mobile service that she also spoke about seems very intriguing and can’t wait to get up on running on that service as well.”

“Social Media is a remarkable phenomenon that is sweeping the world, however I thought it was just some strange trendy world full of “20 something’s” telling you what they ate for lunch. Lisa McKenzie quickly taught me that Social Media is a very powerful marketing medium that can dynamically grow my business. Yes, anyone can learn Twitter and Facebook from their 15 year old. But what does one do with that knowledge? I have lofty goals for my company PicPads. Lisa, a successful marketing woman in her own right, taught me how to harness the power of Social Media to effectively reach large groups of people with my corporate messages. Lisa teaches with great patience and a truly genuine attitude of “I want you to succeed” in every session. I gained not only potent marketing strategies but a life long business advocate who cares about my business as if it’s her own. Thanks to Lisa I have a lot of confidence in Social Media and believe that it will be a great asset in reaching my goals.”
