Andrew Baron
hired Ruben as a IT Consultant in 2009
“I recently attended a workshop Ruben conducted called ” I have a profile: Now what?” As a Social Networking Media expert, Ruben presented techniques in order to enhance ones profile across the top three social networking sites: Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. For small business owners, this lecture provided unique ways to promote oneself using tools within each site that one may not have realized were there for his/her benefit. He spoke eloquently about how one should “brand” oneself and his/her business within each network. Ruben discussed how one should shape or mold his or her profile in order to maximize the full benefit of each website. He explained the concept of Search Engine Optimization and how the power of keywords can prosper ones profile and presence across these sites. Ruben and his staff also provided advice about aggregating one’s content from Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn so as not to be overwhelmed or receive overlapping/redundant information. He was very responsive to the attendee’s questions and encouraged everyone to network while at the lecture. Ruben reiterated making one connection offline and then following up via one of the social networking sites may produce new business relationships that can potentially earn a business owner referrals and additional contacts/connections. I would highly recommend attending one of his workshops. Ruben is well-qualified, confident and engaging. You will leave his workshop with a wealth of knowledge that will further grow your business.” October 8, 2009

Lauren Rosen
hired Ruben as a Social Networking Consultant in 2009
“I recently had the privilege to attend Ruben’s, “I have a profile, now what?” presentation and I’m glad I attended it. Ruben was able to hone in on the use of social networking to provide the necessary framework to help any business owner increase his or her relationships with prospective business communities and potential clients. The whole concept of Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin can get pretty intimidating, however after attending the presentation facilitated by a qualified and capable professional such as Ruben Quinones social networking makes more sense as a viable option to increase any business owners potential to make solid positive business relationships with their potential clients.. I look forward to the next presentation and I’m glad to have Ruben on my team! I strongly recommend you attend the next presentation as well as bring any business owner who you may know. I have all faith and confidence that Ruben will make the intricate concepts of social networking crystal clear! It will help all of us survive this current economic standstill by thinking out of the box.” October 8, 2009

Jane Cranston – Executive and Career Coach www.GreatJobinToughTimes.com
hired Ruben as a Search Consultant in 2007
“Ruben is one of the best people I have worked with. As a small start-up business, we needed guidance about attracting clients. Ruben called our office, introduced himself, and we set up a meeting. My first impression of Ruben was that he was very dedicated to his work and clients, and that he would be there for his clients each step of the way as his clients developed their businesses. Ruben thoroughly explained the Internet maketing method, assessed our business’ needs, and worked closely with our law firm to design a marketing plan. The results have been phenomenal, as most of our business is derived from the Internet maketing that Ruben and his team of competent professional designed to meet our business goals and objectives. Ruben regularly calls our office and regularly visits to make sure everything is going according to plan. Ruben is very easy to work with, he listens well, and shines through during any “emergency” or a “crisis.” Ruben has always gone above and beyond the call of duty, and we have retained his services for additional work for our website, including SEO and other important matters. I highly recommend Ruben for any marketing needs of your company. You will not be disappointed.” October 22, 2008
