Innovation Women:
The Largest Online Female Speakers Bureau
"I needed to generate leads for my startup. Mary Beth conceived of, built, and ran a new webinar series for my community of female speakers and generated thousands of registrants and hundreds of new leads. Her approach to strategy and detail in planning and execution made it easy for me to be hands-off so I could focus on running the business. The webinar program has been a big hit and is still a big community driver today after three years running."
