What people are saying about her Sway Factor training on Social Selling… “I am currently enrolled in one of Sima Dahl’s training sessions on ‘how to optimize and leverage LinkedIn as well as other social media sites.’ As a public speaker, I tend to be more critical of other speaker’s technics. Of Sima, I will say this – She is knowledgeable, engaging and fun. Sima understands her audience and the varying degrees of knowledge contained within that audience. This understanding brings a level of comfort and an openness to accept new thoughts and ideas at all knowledge levels. I highly recommend attending her training sessions.” What people are saying about her corporate presentations… “We had the pleasure of attending a presentation by Sima Dahl at this years Motorola Channel Partner Conference. Her presentation found fertile ground with our company and had triggered an immediate change in how we as a business present ourselves. Also, each of us who attended are making changes to how we are profiled to make the best use of LinkedIn as a professional resource. Sima provided the inspiration to change.” “We brought in Sima to help with one of our new, larger customers in Texas. We were doing some marketing consulting for them, helping them with brand and purpose. This lead to work on social and having Sima train several of their employees on LinkedIn to be more proactive with their general contractor targets and have a bigger profile on the web. We were starting from scratch, but Sima walked them through the basics, getting them comfortable with the tools and how to create content and connections for their business. They are a top 20 customer still today and an active social account.” What people are saying about her main stage speeches… “As a speaker, Sima has a unique ability to draw people in. Her energy for marketing is contagious. One of my favorite people to listen to on the topic of maximizing your brand on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, I am certain you could give Sima a microphone and she would keep people engaged for hours, no slides needed. She's just that good.”
