She worked primarily in sales and marketing of IT prior to starting her own consulting firm; and brings more than twenty-five years of broad experience to the table. Her presentation designed for ABWA Galleria focuses on the hot and growing arena of online social networking. But not from a friendly chat viewpoint, but in terms of its being part of a serious marketing plan for businesses. If you have not become involved in networking online, Becky will introduce you to the concept. And if you have only interacted online from a social point of view, Becky will explain how to turn this tool into an important part of your sales and marketing arsenal.
