“Mike Stelzner is one of my favorite social media marketing business people on the planet. He is the consummate professional - every interaction and every project I've teamed up with Mike on is flawless. His attention to detail is second to none, plus he's extremely generous! Mike's knowledge of copywriting, white papers, hosting large summits both virtual and live, along with proven social media marketing strategies is exceptional. Anytime you get a chance to work with or learn from Mike, run don't walk!”

“Working with Mike as his apprentice, I can see first-hand what makes him a sought-after commodity when it comes to writing and marketing white papers. His fool-proof system was honed by many years of experience, and the results speak for themselves. He knows how to cut to the chase, and is a master at communicating a company's unique value to its audience. He's always innovating--thinking outside the box--and his extensive knowledge of medium coupled with an innate ability to organize both people and information keeps him at the forefront of this industry. Plus, he's enthusiastic and fun to work with! I wholeheartedly recommend him to any business that's serious about increasing their visibility, thought leadership and lead generation.”

“I worked with Mike Stelzner on a joint venture project and could not be more impressed with his creativity, attention to detail, execution, and out of the box thinking. Mike is truly a master, not only of the white paper genre in which he is the leader, but also as a marketer and trainer. He continually pushes the envelope to find new and profitable ways to build businesses and partnerships that are win-win-win. I would highly recommend working with Mike at any level: as creator of your company's white paper, as a business partner and as a student if you want to learn top lead generation tactics from the best.”

“I can not recommend Mike highly enough, not just for his expertise but also his attention to detail and integrity. There is no doubt that he is the white paper expert, but also with what he has achieved with the Social Media Success Summit, this puts him in a whole new world of telesummit and social media guru status that he richly deserves.”

“I base this recommendation of Michael upon the wealth of knowledge and information he gives out so freely. On several occasions, Mike has willingly responded to my emails to offer help and advice. He is truly generous with his time and I have, on each occasion, been extremely grateful.”

“I first started working with Mike in the middle of 2008 to produce our marketing white papers and we've been hooked ever since. Mike's proven stategies for writing great white papers give us a competitive advantage in our marketing campaigns. I highly recommend Mike to anyone looking to develop compelling white papers for their target audience.”

“Mike has produced many marketing strategy projects for me including whitepapers and sales presentations. His skill at facilitating project discussions with diverse subject matter experts has been an invaluable part of our projects' success. Mike is also an excellent coach when asked for input and never hesitates to go the extra mile. He is enthusiastc, a pleasure to work with and a person I consider a valuable business partner.”

“I recently brought Mike on for the second time to assist us in writing a white paper that is critical to our go-to-market strategy. He is an absolutely expert at extracting key messages and advantages from the team, combining them with market trends and articulating them in a way that is educational, persuasive and concise. I highly recommend him to augment any marketing organization.”

“Mike is a great guy to work with. He is very detail oriented and very responsive. He also has great ideas and continues to make an impact in the world by bringing his authors together and sharing his knowledge.”

“Mike is several things: a prolific and very good writer; a successful author; an ethical businessman; the owner/content manager at a great web site; and a truly good guy to know. I use his book and recommend his services without hesitation. I know my clients will get first class service from a first class guy.”

“I found Mike while traveling the web and casually sent him a note...little did I know that we'd be still working with Mike years after the fact. He has a clear process to build a story around any demand generation objectives you may have. It's not often you come across someone with such niche excellence.”

“Raising money using white papers never dawned on me until I had the opportunity to personally work with Mike on a white paper for a new product release. His ability to crystallize and communicate our value proposition prompted me to engage Mike for a second time. This time to educate potential funding sources, company management and our Board of Directors on the potential of a new venture. The reception I've received from using his white paper was far better than anything I could have achieved without Mike's help. I can't believe I've never considered a white paper to support funding initiatives internally and externally because I've been a CEO of public and private technology companies for 20 years.”

“Mike is an enterprising and astute business person. I worked with Mike in the early 90's and when our paths crossed again recently, I found that he had built quite a nice marketing business. This business was born out of his networking, management and core writing skills - and has afforded him great accord in the market, esteem and financial success. He is a great man, both personally and professionally - and I highly recommend his services and value his professional opinions.”

“Mike had effectively provided a step-by-step process to build a story around our lead generation objectives. He was thoroughly professional in his work and designed a compelling white paper to drive additional sales. His method of consulting executives and establishing key facts helped to outline he business proposition and deliver outstanding collateral.”

“Mike is the top of his field. He is the ultimate professional and a pleasure to work with -- intellignet, experienced, and ready to share his expertise. His process is well-thought, deeply thorough, and designed to craft the highest quality result with the most consistent,, high return on investment. Mike knows the business he is and understands that his business is to fully grasp the details and nuances of process, procedure, or product he is writing about. A true professional, Mike makes the complex art and craft of his work look eas, when, in fact, it is anything but that.”

“Mike Stelzner is one of the best minds in high tech marketing. He is a great writer and a brilliant creative thinker. When it comes to bringing technical subjects to a non-technical audience, no one else can touch him.”

“Mike is an astute planner, and a solid project manager. He has an inspirational style, and is very adept at moving projects forward quickly while maintaining the overal integrity of the projected goals. I have worked with Mike many times on visual branding projects, and it has always been a pleasant experience.”

“Mike's work is crisp, and his turnaround is excellent. He gave our site a badly needed facelift a couple of years ago, and we're still pleased with the look.”
