Testimonials

Jason Godfrey

Regional Sales Manager, Draeger, Texas

With Melonie’s guidance, our team is now more relevant and focused on this platform. The insight she provided really opened up our eyes to the full potential of LinkedIn. I would fully recommend her course for any group looking to make an impact on social selling.

Anna Kayfitz

Founder, Strategic DB, Canada

Working with Melonie was the best decision I have made in my business in the past year.

She is highly strategic and has exceptional writing abilities. In looking for a strategy to use LinkedIn for my business I found that most “experts” were approaching it too aggressively and it didn’t feel right to me.

Melonie devised a strategy and was able to create messaging that truly resonated with my personal style. After working with her I knew exactly what to do and how to do it. If you get the chance to work with her, don’t pass it up!

Jim Moorhead

Partner, BraveStand, Washington DC

Over the past decade, Melonie has been instrumental in shaping my LinkedIn strategy through various business evolutions.

Her books on LinkedIn are also fantastic resources — I highly recommend them.

If you are looking for a true digital marketing and LinkedIn expert, Melonie isn’t high on the list, she is the list! So no need to look further.

Terry Rayner

General Manager, Roberts, Florida

Melonie masterfully developed a social selling system and digital marketing strategy for our company, significantly enhancing our engagement strategies.

She skillfully aligned our marketing efforts with sales objectives, creating a unified approach.

Our teams are now adept in social selling, content marketing, and AI utilization, driving substantial results in our campaigns. Melonie’s approach to streamlining our marketing for industry specific content, email campaigns, case studies and social media posts has been particularly effective, allowing us to target different sectors more efficiently and with greater impact.

I strongly recommend Melonie for her expertise, meticulous attention to detail, and her ability to deliver transformative and integrative solutions in sales and marketing.

Steve Whiteside

TEC Canada/Vistage Chair, Vancouver, BC

“I gave Melonie a 5/5 in every category when she spoke to our group. She has a great way to make LinkedIn understandable and Melonie, is a pleasure to listen to. My only complaint is we needed more time with her.”

David MacLean

TEC Canada/Vistage Chair, Kelowna, BC

“I invited Melonie to speak at the quarterly meeting of our TEC Chairs in British Columbia. I was confident that Melonie had the expertise to envision, encourage and equip our chairs to take their LinkedIn game to another level. Melonie did not disappoint. She did a fabulous job and we left the room far smarter than when we entered.”

Rob Hunt

TEC Canada/Vistage Chair, West Vancouver, BC

“Melonie gave an excellent presentation to our members, and there were significant takeaways for everyone there. The information she presented was up-to-date and easy to understand. She’s a highly accomplished, professional speaker, and we certainly wish we could have had more time with her.”

Robert (Bob) Sinclair

TEC Canada/Vistage Chair, West Vancouver, BC

“Melonie’s presentation to our Chair Group was a 5/5 in every category. As a seasoned Chair, I’ve seen a lot of presentations, this was not only excellent, it was completely actionable.

I was so impressed with Melonie’s knowledge of LinkedIn that I invited her to present to my CEO group and hired her to re-write my LinkedIn profile. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Melonie to any TEC Canada or Vistage Chair to speak to your group.”

Patrick Marshall

TEC Canada/Vistage Chair, Victoria, BC

She had them at “hello”! Melonie provided an exceptional LinkedIn training, in fact it was so valuable I believe it should be a standard for all TEC Canada and Vistage Employees and Chairs.

TEC Canada and Vistage Global would benefit from having Melonie present not only to the Peer Advisory Boards, CEO and small business entrepreneurship, but also to all Chair candidates at the Vistage Academy and all seasoned Chairs at the Annual Chair World.

No one else has optimized LinkedIn the way Dodaro has done and continues to do in her cracking of the LinkedIn Code.

Shaune Eldred

TEC Canada/Vistage Chair, Okanagan Valley, BC

“Melonie Dodaro was recently brought in to speak to my group about the power of LinkedIn. I really wasn’t expecting to learn anything new, as I had just finished an intensive five-and-a-half-hour series of webinars on strengthening your LinkedIn profile, searching for qualified prospects, etc.

I had also worked closely with a marketing director that has strength in the LinkedIn arena and had updated my profile accordingly based on all of that input. What a shock! I learned more from Melonie in a one hour presentation than in all the previous webinars, and it became apparent that my profile really wasn’t the strong marketing piece that I had been led to believe. Needless to say, I asked Melonie to re-work my profile to better target my ideal audience.”

Tom Salonek

CEO, Intertech Saint Paul, Minnesota

“As a company, we rely heavily on paid advertising to generate new leads. We realized it was time to empower our sales team to be proactive in using social selling to create a new lead pool, that we were not reaching with paid ads.

We hired Melonie at Top Dog Social Media to train our sales team to connect with decision-makers on LinkedIn and convert those relationships into deals.

The social selling training program Melonie designed for Intertech was completely customized to our business and our specific target market. She even helped us determine the best content marketing approach to support the social selling initiative.

Our sales team is now fully prepared to implement social selling into their daily practice confidently, and we expect the ROI on this investment to exceed all other marketing channels.

I’d highly recommend Melonie if you want to launch the most customized and effective social selling program for your organization.

I am so pleased with the results I would be happy to speak with anyone personally that would like to know firsthand how outstanding this training was for our organization. Feel free to reach out to me on LinkedIn!”

Lydia Morrison

Marketing Manager, New England Biolabs, Ipswich, Massachusetts

“We were looking for a LinkedIn expert to provide on-site training to our sales team, but we got much more than that. Melonie provided up-front consultation on our company profile, and how best to express and reflect our corporate values in our posts.

Our followers increased 20% month over month following training with Melonie.

Equally important was Melonie’s approach to training our sales team–she invited questions of all levels and really empowered our sales team members to explore how LinkedIn would work best for their professional style.”

Callie Hildreth

PPG Industries, Houston, Texas

“The social selling training you provided was executed beautifully. We had great engagement from the participants and I’ve seen increased activity and adoption from the majority of them.

Our sales team has been engaging more and during the training period we grew our company page by 600 followers and it continues to grow on a daily basis.

One of our salespeople wrote this about the training: Thanks to the coaching sessions, I have been able to use this tool to find names and locations of potentially very key purchasers and key influencers. This training provided benefits that I did not expect!”

Gary Weingarten

Sales Executive, Precor, New York, NY

“After one initial conversation with Melonie, I knew that I had the right person to hire. After just finishing my training sessions with her, I can tell you that she is an expert in social media, is extremely passionate about her work and does a great job teaching and preparing you to use social media as a business tool.

I believe that social media is important for business and Melonie truly knows all the tactical ways to use it efficiently, professionally with great results. She is also extremely personable, which was also a factor in working with her. I’m happy to refer her to anybody looking for this type of service.”

Ken Davison

Managing Partner, BDO Canada

“Melonie Dodaro from Top Dog Social Media is truly a brilliant social media marketing expert. Melonie has helped me grow a large presence on Twitter and LinkedIn and has helped me get #1 positioning on Google with my blog. I’m also #1 on LinkedIn searches for my desired keywords and people are consistently telling me how impressed they are with my social media presence. But as an accountant it comes down to the bottom line, and yes, these efforts are bringing me more clients, increased credibility and even speaking engagements.

I couldn’t have done any of this without Melonie’s help. I highly recommend her services for those of you who are looking to take your social media presence to the next level.”

Rich Owens

VRM Mortgage Services, Dallas, Texas

“We recently conducted a one-day social selling training session with Melonie where she customized a program that worked for us. Her knowledge and insight on social selling was top notch. Our sales team was able to quickly take the tools and guidance Melonie provided and put them into practice.

We are already seeing improved engagement and the connectivity of the approach, especially by leveraging our executive team and their industry contacts. This is yielding better results than the incredibly high expectations we set for the program. I highly recommend Melonie and Top Dog Social Media for anyone that is ready to eliminate smiling and dialing from their sales approach.”

Erin Peikoff

National Leasing, Winnipeg, Manitoba

“The training Melonie 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.”

She was full of tips and tricks to increase visibility, engagement and build relationships. What she teaches is highly relevant to both small businesses and large corporations.”

Karen Taylor

Consultant, Bloomington, Illinois

“I am so thankful that I ran across Melonie’s LinkedIn online course. It provides you the roadmap needed to focus on the most critical activities for social selling on LinkedIn.

I also made a great decision to work with Melonie 1:1. What we accomplished in one week would have taken me months to navigate on my own.

Melonie really knows what works and jumps right in to help set you up for success. I highly recommend working with Melonie if you get the chance!”

Chris Baldwin Ph.D.

TedX Speaker, CEO of 10X Digital, Amsterdam, Netherlands

“I just came out of training with Melonie, and now I understand exactly how to nurture LinkedIn connections into relationships where the real business happens. Melonie provides a roadmap on how to drive sales consistently and predictably using LinkedIn.

I would recommend Melonie’s training for three reasons:

1. Melonie understands that it’s not about the technology, it’s just a tool to build better relationships.

2. She comes with a wealth of expertise and information that allows you to be more strategic with how you implement LinkedIn for your business.

3. Melonie understands how to generate leads and sales for your business using LinkedIn.”

Dr. Kahkshan Ali

Dentist and High Ticket Closer, Saudi Arabia

Monika Birkner

Business Coach, Frankfurt, Germany

Katarzyna Sitarska

In the first two weeks, I connected with 50 people through LinkedIn messages and had taken 12 of those connections offline to a phone call. I would never have been able to do this if it weren’t for Melonie’s expertise in growing and nurturing your network without ever coming across as spammy.”

Julie Schmedding

Elisabeth Kollman-Jeckel

Mompreneur Expert DACH Region, Austria

Melonie is a pro, and I highly recommend her LinkedIn training and workshops!”

Katja Graumann

Business & Mindset Coach, Germany

“The hands-on LinkedIn workshop I attended with Melonie was so helpful for me to understand how I can use it for my business.

Martina Fuchs

Tineke Rensen

Nienke Van Bezooijen

Marcel Van Oers

Sales Trainer & Speaker, Leewarden, Netherlands

“Melonie gave a fantastic workshop about using LinkedIn for lead generation. I have taught sales teams for over 20 years, and the most significant challenge most salespeople have is generating new leads.

Andrei Jablokow

I wouldn’t have known how to do this on my own, Melonie’s expertise was invaluable to me.”

Larry Watson

CPA, Houston, Texas

“I hired Melonie to write a LinkedIn profile for me, as I have a hard time writing about myself. My profile turned out so much better than I could have ever imagined or certainly accomplished on my own. What she came up with was excellent. There’s no question; I made the right decision in hiring her.

The value I received was far greater than the investment in this service. I highly recommend her LinkedIn profile development service for anyone wanting to have an exceptional LinkedIn presence. ”

Adam Jones-Kelley

President, Conway & Site Selection Magazine

Omar Todd

Social Media Consultant, Melbourne, Australia

“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 an 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.”

Stephanie Nivinskus

Sizzle Force, San Diego, California

I followed the steps, and very shortly after, I was sought out by an event planner to speak at a MAJOR conference that attracted more than 8,000 attendees.

This was a direct result of the changes I made to my LinkedIn profile from Melonie’s teaching. Thanks so much, Melonie! Your process WORKS!”

Samantha Milligan

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! If you are a B2B professional, you MUST attend!”

Rory Connolly

Her LinkedIn training course is one of the smartest investments I’ve made and I’d recommend it to anybody who wants to get more out of LinkedIn.”

Les Brown

Professional Speaker & Author, Los Angeles, California

“Melonie and her team at Top Dog Social Media understand the in’s and out’s and the why’s and how’s of social media, to the degree that I haven’t seen in any other social media experts.

The best thing about Melonie is that she has a deep understanding of the psychology of marketing, in addition to social media, which makes her truly unique. She worked with my staff to develop my social media profiles, and I was truly impressed with her attention to detail, her professional service, and integrity. I highly recommend Melonie and her social media marketing services.”

Micha Dearen

Lori Carr

“The LinkedIn Domination system Melonie created for me allowed me to fill my pipeline from zero to $1.45 million in only seven months.

I did everything she outlined. When she said to send out ten customized invitations a day, I sent out ten invitations a day. She said when they accept your invitation, send the next LinkedIn message the following day, etc. The system works!”

Dr. Sandi Eveleth

Marketing Consultant, Tampa, Florida

“I highly recommend either hiring Melonie for 1-on-1 consulting or taking any of her online courses.

At the very least, please buy her book. Bottom line, if you want to learn how to REALLY use LinkedIn to build genuine business relationships that lead to long-term revenue growth, work with Melonie.”

Stacey Wareing

“Cracking the LinkedIn Code and a 1:1 deep-dive session with you was the best investment I made in my business all year. You helped me to do in one morning what I spent two years struggling to figure out on my own.

I was already getting 80% of my business from LinkedIn, doing so many things wrong. Now I have is a professional presence that conveys my passion for helping people, along with a strategy for prospecting that feels authentic and non-salesy!

I believe my business now has the potential for exponential growth and I will be happy to give you an update in a few months on my progress.

Even more impressive is her fairness and dedication toward her clients. She always thinks of how to provide value first and she always over-delivers. She lives and breathes her message, you will seldom find a trainer this authentic and skilled.

Richelle Matas

Alumni Engagement Officer, The University of British Columbia

“I hired Melonie to teach students at UBC Okanagan LinkedIn basics to help get them started with creating their professional profile. I find LinkedIn a hard sell for students because they are not focused on looking for a job yet.

When Melonie spoke, she was compelling, engaging, clear in her instruction and also provided the right amount of information and, especially encouragement, to the students. Students walked away that evening inspired and motivated.

Because Melonie was so amazing, I hired her again to share her LinkedIn tips and tricks with staff who work directly with students. The insights we learned were definitely not something we could’ve found just by watching YouTube. I’m so thankful for Melonie. Her knowledge on LinkedIn, her passion and commitment to providing excellent service truly shines.”

Temeka Thompson

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington DC

“In working with Melonie Dodaro, she guided our agency to share our story in a more meaningful way. Through her training and consulting:

— Our organic impressions on posts have increased 700%

— Gained 275 more followers in the first two weeks

— Improved our social profiles so followers know exactly what they’re receiving to mirror our branding and marketing initiatives

— Helped us with a communication strategy and more effective content curation

Gail Kingsbury

Claudia Milicevic

Toronto, Ontario

“Melonie recently conducted a presentation at our annual conference. I found her presentation to be perfect for our audience; it was intuitive and we all were able to walk away with simple, actionable items that could be implemented immediately to get noticed and get results on LinkedIn.

Melonie is extremely professional and knowledgeable in her areas of expertise, and she was a pleasure to work with!”

Shirar O’Connor-Mugler

Conway, Atlanta, Georgia

“My firm recently hired Melonie to run a Masterclass on LinkedIn for a training seminar we were running. She did an outstanding job. Melonie was able to balance her presentation for the novices in our audience, without making it too basic for the more experienced LinkedIn users – she made the content relevant and relatable for everyone.

Melonie was so fantastic, we are engaging her again for another training.”
