John Carroll, President, Unlimited Performance:
“Margaret Cotton is a polished professional in the role of speaker and facilitator. She has an extensive background in training and development and it shows when she is in the front of the room. Whether it’s a planned presentation with visual aids or impromptu comments, she is articulate, pleasant and persuasive in her delivery. As a professional speaker and facilitator, I understand the dynamics of content, delivery and connecting with an audience. Margaret handles all three quite seamlessly. In short, I’d be comfortable with any opportunity to have Margaret handle speaking, classroom training or presentation duties.”
Bill Settlemyer, Founder, Charleston Regional Business Journal:
“One of the turning points in the success of our business was our decision to hire Margaret Cotton as an advertising account executive. We began the search that led us to Margaret after we realized that without a top-notch, professional sales staff, we could not achieve the strong and consistent sales growth needed to reach our financial goals.
Margaret is a true sales professional whose extensive background in media sales and sales management would be a considerable asset to anyone seeking sales support, either internally as a staff member or externally in a consulting role.”
Gene Crim, Senior Advertising Executive, Charleston magazine:
“I have known Margaret Cotton for approximately 10 years, first as a peer when we were both general sales managers at local radio stations, then as a business associate, and most recently when she was my manager and Director of Advertising at Charleston magazine.
Margaret is a great speaker, motivator and trainer. I recommend her for any company who is interested in ensuring their staff is working at peak performance. In these tough economic times, it is essential that we all work smarter as well as harder. If your company wants to grow its sales, communicate more effectively or just generally perform at a higher level, you should consider hiring Margaret.”
Jeff Drew, Owner, Gulfstream Communications:
“From 2005 to 2009, Margaret oversaw the record growth in advertising sales from our flagship asset, Charleston magazine, as well as overseeing the launches of new publications in Asheville NC and Greenville SC.
I would highly recommend Margaret in terms of dedication, individual performance and management and leadership skills.”
Rebecca Gooden, Gooden+Faircloth Real Estate Services:
“Your presentation today was fabulous and very informative. Everyone
has at least a tiny bit of fear about speaking in public, so the topic
was very relevant. I took away some helpful tips that will serve me
well when I am called upon to speak.”
