Victoria Darnbrough, Learning and Development Manager | ACL Services Ltd.
Met Shane in 2008 when my ACL Marketing Team invited him to speak at our International Sales Kick Off and haven't looked back...Shane is a natural CSO...he makes the art of selling using Social Media look very easy and natural. Shane has since spoken to ACL in two other Sales Kick Offs and worked with our Marketing team on social media solutions. Expert, high integrity, creative, personable, and reliable, are also words I would use to descibe Shane. His biggest asset is his energy...he is a very dynamic speaker and trainer. I would recommend Shane anytime.

He has a passion for teaching, easy to get along with, and provides get insight. BuildDirect consider ourselves early adopters and leaders in the social media aspect of our industry... Shane helped us see the value in social media over 3 years ago and was a huge part of BuildDirect being an early adopter. On a personal note, I am very impressed with Shane's commitment to the community and the endless support he seems willing to give to those he has relationships with. I would not hesitate to recommend him.
