“At our sales meeting this morning, the 30+year Executive Sales people were asked “What could the new salespeople be doing to develop their business?” The immediate reply was “Spend 100% of their time doing everything Kevin Knebl was talking about this weekend.” This is a major endorsement coming from the guys who Kicked It Old School “…standing in lobbies wondering: is anyone going to talk to me?” – these salespeople saw instantly how Kevin’s training on Social Media will accelerate the relationship development process. They also noted the ability to track online attention that our competition may be getting. They get it – not just the new computer-savvy kids, but also the guys who spent miles behind the windshield, banging on doors and combatting the gatekeepers.The relationship building focus of Kevin’s seminar eclipses the technology aspect, putting the technology in its place as the relationship building tool that it is. Thank you! Having known Kevin throughout 15 years, I can attribute my personal success in large part to his mentoring, his teaching and his example. I can attribute much of my personal and business success directly to him – because I use his tools and steal his best lines every day!”
Paul Yost -President at Sutherland, Inc.
“Kevin gave a presentation at the FPA NorCal Conference that I attended and it was a breath of fresh air. He has a natural ability to draw in his audience and keep them entertained, but more importantly he provided concrete, actionable tools that I have already begun implementing. Thank you Kevin!”
Sean M. Kenmore, CFP -Managing Partner at Affinity Capital Advisors
“I saw Kevin speak at a recent Financial Advisor convention. He delivers a powerful message that amps up the audience and makes what many financial advisors consider impossible (getting business through social media) seem not only attainable but completely attainable. After his keynote, I found myself revved up with a high of optimism that stretched all the way through the conference, not even being damped by lectures on tax regulation updates. Super!”
Leslie Van Zee -Marketing & Communications Manager at Mosaic Financial Partners
“I attended Kevin workshop on LinkedIn and in an hour learned more about how to utilize this tool than I have learned in the last 3 years of being on it. If you get a chance to see Kevin live, DO IT.”
Bill Cassidy CLU, ChFC, LUTCF, CLTC -Managing Partner at Spence Cassidy and Associates, LLC
“Kevin gave such great information in a short amount of time at a luncheon that I attended, I can only imagine what he could deliver in an all-day seminar. He said he would send all of the attendees templates and ideas to build and deliver a dynamic LinkedIn experience for anyone willing to put in the effort, and he did. Kevin is a man of integrity and his keeps his word. In today’s world this is becoming more uncommon and it is nice to know that you will get exactly this from Kevin, period. I would recommend anyone interested in booking Kevin, or, if you have the opportunity to go hear him speak, run, don’t walk to get a chair at his next event. You will not be sorry.”
Dimitri Struck -Financial Representative at COUNTRY Financial®
“Kevin provides a unique way of looking at sales and social media. I consider myself an out-of-the-box thinker, but he stretched me beyond even that. Plus, a very engaging speaker that made the time fly by and the audience asking for more. If you want to motivate your staff, sales or otherwise, I would look at bringing Kevin in. It will revolutionize your business.” Daniel Glanville -Financial Advisor at Precision Wealth Management
“Kevin Knebl is my Hero! Knebl Communication’s class on “LinkedIn” has significantly reduced the timeline for bringing the new Murphy Company Branch on line. Kevin is a strong communicator, giving clear direction utilizing outstanding techniques that hold your attention and achieve results. His strategic thinking, practical, clear direction allows him to communicate the tasking that can be easily applied to every type of business. This promotes a quicker return on your investment. The relationship that I have developed through “LinkedIn” from his seminar has already allowed me to win a $500,000.00 project with a brand new customer without competition! Finding this individual and developing a relationship through standard networking practices would have taken a year or more. The timeline was dramatically shortened. I have recently taken an additional class from Kevin that has expanded my knowledge and use of this valuable tool. This class too was outstanding! I consider it an honor to call him a friend. His friendly cheerful manner makes his programs just that much better!”
Vicki Chase -Account Manager at Murphy Company
“I recently hired Kevin to speak about social media to my group of insurance and financial services professionals during our annual fall planning meeting. Kevin’s presentation was informative, entertaining and extremely valuable to our group. He spoke about Facebook and LinkedIn and our group was riveted for all five hours he was with us. We could have easily listed to him all day as he shared useful and practical insights to Facebook and LinkedIn and relationship building in general. I would highly recommend Kevin as a speaker for any group interested in learning more about social media and relationship building in general.”
Mike Kish CPCU, CLU, ChFC -State Farm Insurance
“I had the great fortune to hire Kevin to conduct a seminar for our team on leveraging social networking (specifically LinkedIn) for our business. Even better, I was able to participate in the seminar. Kevin’s presentation was absolutely outstanding. He clarified the objectives upfront (ensuring his content was relevant to us), tailored his content, pace and detail of information to the team assembled (seemingly on the fly), was personable, humorous, engaging and EXTREMELY informative. Even better, I have already seen the impact of his presentation on our team. His content is relevant and 100% actionable. Kevin’s presentation was probably the best investment our company has made in the past 6 months. I would strongly endorse Kevin to anyone curious as to how to leverage the emerging social networking tools to grow their business, establish their company brand (as well as their personal brand) and grow their business through personal networking. I anticipate significant ROI from this investment. Thank you Kevin. You rock!”
David Hyatt -President, Corvirtus, LLC
“I attended Kevin’s class on social networking using LinkedIn. I have also used Kevin for individual consultation regarding LinkedIn and Twitter. I am truly amazed that a single person has amassed the knowledge that Kevin has at his finger tips. He knows so much about this stuff, it is almost like trying to drink from a fire hose when you hear him talk about it. However, he does have a talent for breaking it down into simple terms and making it easy to understand. Kevin has provided me with invaluable ways to use LinkedIn and Twitter to further my business. After hearing him speak or meeting with him in person, the anticipation of implementing what Kevin has recommended makes it hard to sleep at night until his recommendations are all put into practice. I highly recommend Kevin for training and consultation on all of your social networking needs. I will definitely continue using Kevin for his expertise in that area.”
Mike DiGiglia -Attorney
“We hired Kevin to present to and train our employees on the business benefits of social networking, specifically LinkedIn. Our participants represented the areas of sales, technical, administration, and management. Kevin’s approach was such that everyone learned how LinkedIn can enhance their business productivity and personal interactions. His training session showed the depth of his understanding of dealing with people. Our sales professionals are already growing their networks and reaching new contacts one week after the session. I highly recommend Kevin to other business leaders.”
Jim Torney -President, Essex Technology Group
“Outstanding deliverables! Kevin’s in depth knowledge and expertise in social media was refreshing; the sharpness of his presentation created a sense of urgency among the participants in his workshop. I look forward to working with Kevin in the future and would absolutely recommend him for other businesses who are seeking a social media expert.”
Scott Carmack -State Farm Insurance
“I attended Knebl Communication’s LinkedIn Training webinar and was blown away by the additional information I learned in this short period of time that will enable me to continue to professionally sell in today’s market. Although I thought I knew how to navigate and utilize the Linked-In site, Kevin showed me three tricks that instantly enabled me to approach my prospects more professionally and improved my ability to communicate on a more personable level. In today’s day and age when relationships mean everything and every advantage helps when within the” final three feet”, this course instantly provides assistance in improving a sales persons effectiveness in that space. I highly recommend taking this course to improve your professional sales capabilities. This is the second type of course that I have attended on social media, and the difference with Kevin’s content is that “he gets it”… meaning he understands the value of the data and how to help utilize that knowledge as an additional part of how we need to be communicating in a professional business to business setting, instead of just farming the data and spamming into internet space. Invest in this seminar, the message and the impact will be immediate.”
Mark Todd -Regional Sales Manager, MG America

Kevin began by outlining keys to effective interpersonal relationships, then detailed how LinkedIn can work to improve outreach for the benefit of everyone.If you can meet Kevin in person and have him speak to your group, you should.”
