about the LinkedIn
Domination program.

is the best program for using LinkedIn for
business results, period.”
Andrei Jablokow, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
12

15. “The LinkedIn Domination system Melonie created for me allowed me to
fill my pipeline from zero to $1.45 million in only seven months.
I did everything she outlined. When she said to send out ten customized
invitations a day, I sent out ten invitations a day. She said when they accept
your invitation, send the next LinkedIn message the following day etc. The
system works!”
Lori Carr, West Palm Beach, Florida
13

16. “I attended Melonie’s LinkedIn seminar and I could not believe the
results! It was a hands-on workshop and I was optimizing my profile as
we went along. Before I even left the seminar, I was already coming up as
the first search result out of 130,000 other people!
Not only that but by lunchtime I had been emailed by someone who
found me in a search for my industry with keywords I had just added!
Amazing value, information and results! If you are a B2B professional you
MUST attend!”
Samantha Milligan, Kelowna, British Columbia

was able to quickly take the tools and guidance
Melonie provided and put them into practice.
We are already seeing improved engagement
and the connectivity of the approach, especially by
Leveraging our executive team and their industry contacts.
This is yielding better results than the incredibly high

23. “As experienced in social media as I am,
I loathed the idea of self-promoting myself
without expert perspective from an outside
point of view. Obviously, anything I wrote would
be maybe too biased. So, I hired Melonie from Top Dog
Social Media to help put together an excellent
LinkedIn profile that really stands out.
I would happily recommend Melonie and Top Dog
Social Media for anyone that needs expert and value for
money advice on their social media presence.”
Omar Todd, Social Media Consultant, Melbourne, Australia

use that information to create the single best LinkedIn profile I have ever seen. I
am certain with the way that she has created my LinkedIn profile that I will get
an immediate increase of new clients.
In addition, Melonie has a fantastic series of training sessions that cover
LinkedIn usage and how to maximize your number of connections. Thank you so
much Melonie for making my profile so professional and for the follow up with
me to make certain that I was happy with all that you had created for me! You
are awesome to work with and I would not hesitate to recommend you to
anyone and everyone that is looking to increase their business.”

followers know exactly what they’re receiving to mirror our branding and
marketing initiatives

Temeka Thompson, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington DC
24

28. “I hired Melonie to teach students at UBC
Okanagan LinkedIn basics to help get them
started with creating their professional profile.
I find LinkedIn a hard sell for students because
they are not focused on looking for a job yet.
When Melonie spoke, she was compelling, engaging,
clear in her instruction and also provided the right amount
of information and, especially encouragement,
to the students. Students walked away that
evening inspired and motivated.
Because Melonie was so amazing, I hired her again to share her
LinkedIn tips and tricks with staff who work directly with students.
The insights we learned were definitely not something we
could've found just by watching YouTube. I'm so thankful for Melonie.
Her knowledge on LinkedIn, her passion and commitment to providing excellent
service truly shines.”

The University of British Columbia

30. What our friends at Vistage
International and TEC
Canada are saying about
Melonie’s LinkedIn and
social selling training
workshops.
"Melonie's presentation to our Chair Group was
a 5/5 in every category. As a seasoned Chair, I've
seen a lot of presentations, this was not only excellent,
it was completely actionable.
I was so impressed with Melonie's knowledge of LinkedIn
that I invited her to present to my CEO group and hired
her to re-write my LinkedIn profile. I wouldn't hesitate to
recommend Melonie to any TEC Canada or Vistage Chair
to speak to your group."
Bob Sinclair, TEC Canada/Vistage Chair,
West Vancouver, BC
26

31. “She had them at "hello"! Melonie provided an exceptional LinkedIn training, in
fact it was so valuable I believe it should be a standard for all TEC Canada and
Vistage Employees and Chairs.
TEC Canada and Vistage Global would benefit from having Melonie present not
only to the Peer Advisory Boards, CEO and small business entrepreneurship, but
also to all Chair candidates at the Vistage Academy and all seasoned Chairs at the
Annual Chair World.
No one else has optimized LinkedIn the way Dodaro has done and continues to do
in her cracking of the LinkedIn Code.”
Patrick Marshall, TEC Canada/Vistage Chair, Victoria, BC
27

32. “Melonie Dodaro was recently brought
in to speak to my group about the power
of LinkedIn. I really wasn’t expecting to
learn anything new, as I had just finished an
Intensive five-and-a-half-hour series of webinars
on strengthening your LinkedIn profile, searching for
qualified prospects, etc.
I had also worked closely with a marketing director
that has strength in the LinkedIn arena and had updated
my profile accordingly based on all of that input.
What a shock! I learned more from Melonie in a one hour
presentation than in all the previous webinars, and it became
apparent that my profile really wasn’t the strong marketing
piece that I had been led to believe. Needless to say, I asked
Melonie to re-work my profile to better target my ideal audience.”
Shaune Eldred, TEC Canada/Vistage Chair, Okanagan Valley, BC
28

33. "Melonie gave an excellent presentation to our members, and
there were significant takeaways for everyone there. The
information she presented was up-to-date and easy to understand.
She’s a highly accomplished, professional speaker, and we certainly
wish we could have had more time with her."
Rob Hunt, TEC Canada/Vistage Chair, West Vancouver, BC
29

34. “I have been very fortunate to have Melonie as a guest on my podcast and
I recently picked up her new LinkedIn training course. Within days of implementing
her recommendations I’ve had people reach out to me about the work I do, and even
managed to get the attention of recruiters for potential dream jobs.
Her LinkedIn training course is one of the smartest investments I’ve made and I’d
recommend it to anybody who wants to get more out of LinkedIn.”
David MacLean, TEC Canada/Vistage Chair, Kelowna, BC

35. What people are saying about
our digital sales and marketing
services.
“The LinkedIn process Melonie taught
me literally changed EVERYTHING for me.
I followed the steps and very shortly after,
I was sought out by an event planner to speak
at a MAJOR conference that attracted more
than 8,000 attendees.
This was a direct result of the changes I made to my
LinkedIn profile from Melonie's teaching. Thanks so
much, Melonie! Your process WORKS!”
Stephanie Nivinskus, Sizzle Force,
San Diego, California

36. “Melonie Dodaro from Top Dog Social Media is truly a brilliant social media marketing
expert. Melonie has helped me grow a large presence on Twitter and LinkedIn and has
helped me get #1 positioning on Google with my blog. I’m also #1 on LinkedIn searches for
my desired keywords and people are consistently telling me how impressed they are with
my social media presence. But as an accountant it comes down to the bottom line, and
yes, these efforts are bringing me more clients, increased credibility and even speaking
engagements.
I couldn’t have done any of this without Melonie’s help. I highly recommend her services
for those of you who are looking to take your social media presence to the next level.”
Ken Davison, Accountant, BDO Canada
31

37. “After one initial conversation with Melonie,
I knew that I had the right person to hire. After just
finishing my training sessions with her, I can tell you
that she is an expert in social media, is extremely
passionate about her work and does a great job
teaching and preparing you to use social media as a
business tool.
I believe that social media is important for business and Melonie
truly knows all the tactical ways to use it efficiently, professionally
with great results. She is also extremely personable, which was also
a factor in working with her. I’m happy to refer her to anybody
looking for this type of service.”
Gary Weingarten, Sales Executive, Precor, New York, NY
32

38. “Melonie and her team at Top Dog Social Media really understand the in’s and
out’s and the why’s and how’s of social media, to the degree that I haven’t seen
in any other social media experts.
The best thing about Melonie is that she has a deep understanding of the
psychology of marketing, in addition to social media, which makes her truly
unique. She worked with my staff to develop my social media profiles and I was
truly impressed with her attention to detail, her professional service and
integrity. I highly recommend Melonie and her social media marketing services.”
Les Brown, Professional Speaker & Author, Los Angeles, California

39. “I have been very fortunate to have
Melonie as a guest on my podcast and

out to me about the work I do, and even

Her LinkedIn training course is one of the smartest
investments I’ve made and I’d recommend it to
anybody who wants to get more out of LinkedIn.”
