Lorrie was a wonderful speaker to work with from the get-go. She partnered with us to come up with custom sessions specific to our attendees' needs and prepared each presentation with case studies specific to our industry to educate and make the web marketing material relevant. When Lorrie emerged as a speaker candidate for a session scheduled at the same time as the one she was booked for, she quickly sent us a recommendation for another speaker - that's professional speaker service!
Lorrie had attendees attend our event specifically to attend her night school session and received rave reviews that included comments on how relevant and applicable her web marketing expert advice was. We received 100% excellent rating for Lorrie in our night school session, which is a very tough time slot in our program, since attendees have been in sessions all day.
Lorrie Thomas is an engaging and educational speaker who added great value to our event. We will work with her in the future.

BSG secured Lorrie Thomas as a Keynote Speaker for our Annual Customer Appreciation Conference. Lorrie is energetic, engaging and clearly an expert in the web marketing field.
Our diverse customer base found Lorries Wild, Wild Web presentation to be most informative. Not only did she present at our main session, but she also took the time to meet with our customers individually, in smaller group sessions as well as attend our social events.
It was truly a pleasure to work with Lorrie and her staff prior to our event. She coordinated with us on an ongoing basis to ensure that the presentation would exceed our expectations.
I, as well as others from BSG, really enjoyed working with Lorrie and her team and would highly recommend her to any business.

Lorrie Thomas is a strong communicator and an energetic speaker. She possesses a great talent for educating a non-technical audience about potentially complicated, technical topics. She's extremely professional and very easy to work with.

Lorrie is an excellent speaker, and we highly recommend her. She is full of energy, good ideas, and a positive attitude. Behind her engaging presentation is a wealth of knowledge and experience that enables her to answer even the toughest follow-up questions with ease. Perhaps her best skill is her ability to communicate complex search engine optimization concepts to a wide variety of audiences. Everyone can benefit from the training she provides, from people with almost no technical experience to those who are experts in information technology. Hiring Lorrie was a wonderful investment for us, both in terms of the value she brought to our organization and in terms of the enthusiastic support that she continues to offer us.

You always know you hit a home run with your keynote speaker when the chatter after their talk is about how they are going to run back to their offices and implement the key components of what was talked about. Lorrie hit a grand slam with her Web Marketing presentation to our group, so much so I do not think anyone in attendance has the same web presence as they did the day she spoke. If you haven't booked her yet, do so NOW; your small business will be BIG over night.
Trygve Duryea, Chief Knowledge Officer, THE LEADERSHIP GROUP
I asked Lorrie Thomas to provide a presentation to our sales team during our annual company meetings. The room of about 25 included media salespeople and at all levels of experience, along with members of the IT department and a few other departments who sat in. Some had only sold print. Some were brand new to media in general. Lorrie’s excitement for the medium was contagious. She invigorated & educated our team. Being able to provide real value to both serious geeks and online sales newbies all in the same presentation was a very tall order and she just ...nailed it! I am confident that her presentation will translate into higher sales numbers at our company. Lorrie takes the mystery out of online marketing. I would recommend Lorrie Thomas to any size organization or any company type without hesitation.

Lorrie, thank you so much for presenting at our seminar last month. All of our attendees raved about how your session, Internet Marketing for Tax Problem Resolution Practitioners, will help bring them more business than they could ever imagine!

Lorrie Thomas is a whirlwind of energy and information! Her crash course in marketing via social media had best practices, great freebies, technical advice, and it was FUN. I've got an insatiable love for learning, and Lorrie satisfied that need amazingly. What she's teaching is useful whether you've got a product, a service, or a non-profit. I expect her other workshops to be equally amazing.
Gretchen Kubacky, Psy.D.
Lorrie Thomas is not only a savvy web marketer, she's an incredible teacher. She provided an insightful overview of how social media is changing the marketing landscape, clearly explained a variety of social media tools, and engaged the SMARTY group to get everyone thinking critically about how best to employ these tools for their own businesses. Lorrie also encouraged everyone to think of the time and money they spend on marketing as an "investment;" advice I couldn't agree with more.

Lorrie's expertise in web marketing is phenomenal! She takes the complicated technical world of web marketing and offers small businesses tools and tips that work with any budget! Lorrie was the keynote speaker at our June THINK BIG! event - her speaking talent inspired our female entrepreneurs and taught them so much. We at WEV, give Lorrie's vivacious personality and expertise our highest recommendation!

Always having my feelers out for engaging speakers who care about providing value to the Ladies Who Launch community, Lorrie was truly a breath of fresh air. She's a treasure chest of tips and knowledge when it comes to web marketing. Though I think her true skill is in transmitting her enthusiasm and passion for her topic and connecting with her audience to make the technical jargon easier to digest.

Lorrie Thomas spoke to the Association of Women in Communication, Santa Barbara Chapter on the subject of Website Design: Make it Beautiful, Make it Work, Make it Sell. She is knowledgeable and eager to share what she knows with others because she believes in the power of the web to attract customers and compete. In an ambitious presentation, she covered a range of topics from client contracting to branding, and could have provided us with a workshop on each topic. Her personal stories and self-disclosure are appealing to women who wonder how they can build a business with modest capital resources. Sharing stories and giving examples, she inspires confidence in listeners and her lively manner and humor are very engaging. Ms Thomas also works with an associate who is a graphic artist and the audience appreciated hearing about their collaborative process in expanding business for one another. I would recommend Lorrie Thomas highly for conferences and workshops.

Brilliant, creative, practical plus she has a lot of common-sense...these are just a few of the ways I would describe Lorrie Thomas. Lorrie's critiques and comments are the highlight of my program on "Effective Seminar Marketing." Panel discussions, class participation, one-to-one advising, extemporaneous presentations, networking luncheons...she does it all. I recommend her to you without any reservations!
