“Impactful, relevant and comprehensive are just a few of the words that describe the recent training class, Veronica Morales CEO and Founder of the Social Being, held for us this past week. She took a group of sales people with varied levels of experience with Social Media and did a fantastic job of navigating us through the ins and outs of Social Media. The less experienced of us didn’t feel overwhelmed and the more experienced didn’t get bored with the basics. She was able to design our training to blend the different skill sets and we are now excited and ready to put our training to work! I highly recommend the Social Being for your Social Media needs!”

Nancy Myers, Regional Sales Manager, Region 5 Drury Hotels

“The Social Being was able to step in for us as a Marketing Department for our organization, with minimal interruptions in service, and or customer services.
TSB provides us with Social Media Management, Reputation Management, Website and SEO Management, and Staff Development/Social Media Certification. As a result of their evaluations, they were able to save us additional funds by canceling services/efforts that were duplicated. In addition, to provide training for our employees, we have improved market presence.”
Alfredo Lopez, The Lynd Company

“The Social Being is patient, smart, and to the point when training those of us who are just being introduced into social networking. By the end of the week, I was able to see noticeable improvements in my Facebook insights compared to all my previous weeks. Veronica is my Social Networking guru.”
