dM’s Clients Say …

Donna Maria was recently a guest speaker in my MBA Entrepreneurship class at Georgia State University. It was a real pleasure to have her. She is a natural teacher as she related well to the students and provided practical information that not only helped my students, but taught me, too. I was really impressed and grateful because she went out of her way to drive several hours for my class.

Donna Maria presented a very informative teleconference for the Alliance of International Aromatherapists entiltled “How Small Business Owners Can Influence Law and Public Policy” Wednesday night. She was very informative and provoked a lot of thought amongst our members. Donna Maria left many inspired to band together for the benefit of the aromatherapy industry. We were honored that she shared her time and expertise with us.

Donna Maria served as the keynote speaker at our Soapmaker’s Seminar in July. She is not only a fantastic speaker, she is such a great leader, who engages with others to support and encourage. Her presentations were very informative and very well received.

I have had the privilege of hearing Donna Maria speak twice now and both presentations showed me new and exciting ways to harness social media to improve my business and build lasting client relationships – she has changed my life! As a small business owner being involved in social media is a must! Donna Maria makes this seemingly daunting task easy, breaking it down into smaller achievable tasks. Donna Maria leads by example. She is always available to answer questions and give support and she is full of a positive energy that is contagious. I am excited to step into the future with Donna Maria and IBN at my side!

Donna Maria has been a part of my business life for almost 5 years! I hadn’t had the opportunity, however, of meeting her in person until last year. Before meeting her in person, she sets the tone and on how to run a business. Even if she has not told me directly how to use the internet and social media to grow my business, she shows by her example. She is consistent and ALL OVER IT! Then, when I got to meet and hear her in person, she showed me that blogging, twittering, and vlogging doesn’t have to be so hard. She makes it easy to understand! I am so grateful to have her as part of my team, even thought she doesn’t know she’s a part of my team…(wink)…I look forward to growing along with her as the internet landscape evolves and and we evolve in our businesses. Thank you Donna Maria!
