4. “Tracy helped me get started with blogging and tweeting. I didn’t know what I was doing and she made it easy, built a strategy for using the media for the purpose I wanted, and did some of the hands on work when it was just too much for me. She told me I had to believe, like Field of Dreams, and over time they would come. She was right! She created guidelines for the frequency of blogs and tweets and then showed me tools to make it easy. She has easy training sessions with slides so I can remind myself and refresh. I continue to use her because she is so personable and she continues to bring new value as I grow and need more ‘advanced’ understanding. I highly recommend her.” ~ Shelley Sweet, i4Process, 2012
