Dear Sirs:
From approximately 2004 until now, eBay has contracted with Mary Liz Curtin to conduct seminars for new and existing eBay sellers at craft, gift, home furnishings, home improvement and juvenile products trade shows. We were very pleased with the strong attendance at the seminars, attendee satisfaction, and the number of leads generated. As a result, we expanded both the number of seminars conducted by Mary Liz, as well as the type of industry segments covered.
Mary Liz has been very effective with the eBay seminars for several reasons. First and foremost, she immediately establishes credibility with the audience. She understands small retailers, writes her own column for small retailers, and owns her own home furnishings store. She is also an avid eBay user and technology geek. Second, she is an energetic speaker who is clearly passionate about the subject matter. And lastly, she skillfully integrates eBay into her overall small retailer presentation in a way that made eBay relevant without selling too strongly to the audience.
Mary Liz is also very easy to work with. She’s responsive and adapted quickly to our changing seller marketing plans.
I would highly recommend her to other companies that need to reach independent retailers.
Regards,
John McDonald
Senior Director, Trust & Safety
