    “Melonie provided our sales force with a three-part training series on Linkedin and how to best leverage the platform in their selling process. Melonie spent several months researching our business, getting to know our Sales Management team and asking lots of questions in order to tailor the training specifically to our needs. She is extremely knowledgeable, results-oriented, quick to respond to questions we had throughout the process and overall a pleasure to work with. We knew we had to explore the world of social media and Linkedin seemed like the right place to start. After our first meeting with Melonie, we knew she’d be a great fit. The training she provided our team will open a whole new avenue to prospect and generate new business, connect with existing clients, and other professionals in our industry. I would highly recommend her services to other business professionals.”

    “We knew we needed to incorporate social media into our overall marketing plan, but didn’t know where to start. Our advisor recommended Top Dog Social Media – and it was a great decision. First, Melonie and her team spent time learning about our business, target market and our goals and objectives. From there they created a social media strategic plan to help us achieve the next step of success in our business. This strategic plan is now our blueprint for all our online efforts. Without it, we’d still be floundering online. Now we work on the important things and delegate the rest.”

    “I attended Melonie’s Linked In seminar and I could not believe the results! It was a hands on workshop and I was optimizing my profile as we went along. Before I even left the seminar I was already coming up as the first search result out of 130,000 other people! Not only that but by lunchtime I had been emailed by someone who found me in a search for my industry with keywords I had just added! Amazing value, information and results!

To a novice in social media and how it can assist me in my business, Melonie (the bright light) brought a plan of action to enlighten both me and my potential clients. Creating a more defined me to present to the public, Melonie showed me the who, what, where, when and why of social media. Experience and communication skills are the tools used by Melonie to help the uninitiated become a force. She herself is a force to be reckoned with in this technological world.

    “As experienced in social media as I am, I loathed the idea of self promoting myself without expert perspective from an outside point of view. Obviously anything I wrote would be maybe too biased. So I hired Melonie from Top Dog Social Media to help put together a excellent LinkedIn profile that really stands out. I would happily recommend Melonie and Top Dog Social Media for anyone that needs expert and value for money advice on their social media presence.”

I highly recommend Melonie for any company looking to have a top-notch social media speaker at their event!”

I’ve had the pleasure of seeing her present and train in various environments and am blown away by her ability to break down even the most complex of topics, and teach in bite size nuggets in a manner that has light bulbs popping from the entire audience! It’s one thing for audience members to get insights from the presenter; it’s a whole other thing for the audience to get practical how-to’s that they can immediately apply – that’s exactly what Melonie provides, especially around LinkedIn. I have no hesitation in recommending her for speaking and training opportunities.”
