Everyone has a product, but customer service is where the rubber meets the road.

As one of the world’s sharpest minds in social media and online service, Marsha Collier is a must read for anyone serious about growing a business in the age of the digital consumer.

“Many positive things to say, but one essential component is this: In contrast to ‘canned’ presentations, great speakers take the time to analyze who is in the room and WHY they are there. Putting themselves in the shoes of the audience allows them to tailor their presentations in order to truly DELIVER for the crowd. Marsha does this in spades.”

“I’ve had the privilege of working with Marsha Collier for the past year, to discuss strategies for delivering spectacular online and social customer service. In a foggy time of increasing complexity, Marsha’s guidance has been a beacon of clarity. She understands the perfect way to help brands build a legacy of loyal, lifetime customers. From the underlying motivations of the buyer to the detailed brand responses, Marsha knows and shows how online customer service was, is and should be.”

“Marsha personifies the rare combination of top-tier expert AND approachable guide. These complementary gifts allow her to be both a gracious mentor to eager learners and a trusted advisor to industry experts.”

“There are precious few who care as deeply for customer advocacy and speak as powerfully and eloquently for change. I would heartily, robustly and earnestly recommend Marsha Collier for ANY customer-centric speaking, consulting or authoring engagement.”

“Marsha ROCKS! OMG, the words, the presentation and her style is impeccable. Marsha delivers usable knowledge for business owners and teams that will improve top and bottom line results. Her topic on customer service and its importance to business is life changing. I am so glad I got a chance to meet her and call her friend.
