Guest speakers Nick and Vanessa - Gateshead

I would just like to say what an excellent presentation Nick and Vanessa gave at Property Consultants 365 event on Wednesday night on "social media".

It was both informative and interesting and I'm sure everyone who attended got something out of it.

I'll put their theories to the test and keep you updated.

trible meet tonight

Apologies to Vanessa and Nick, but unfortunately I now can't make the event tonight. Pleeese can someone post up some key points or insights raised tonight by either speakers, as I really did not want to miss out on this great mega event. Alternatively if it's too long a task and you're willing for me to call you and quiz you, then leave me a message to call you!

Many thanks in advance. Enjoy tonight.

All best, Jane Skynner
