Antony Francis
Making sense out of the senselessness of Social Media
|
I really enjoyed Antony's discussion at our conference! Although it was only thirty minutes I learned several interesting new ideas about how to use social media in my business and personal life. Definitely a great use of my time!

Antony started his speaking career in Buffalo NY during his 6 years successfully selling homes there in the 90s. Antony traveled to other real estate offices teaching agents his philosophy on marketing that helped him climb to being #2 out of 700 agents. Antony was recruited by National Real Estate Speaker Floyd Wickman, in Troy Michigan, as his Business Manager Antony worked with Floyd, helping him improve at every opportunity. Floyd taught Antony how to critique and improve speakers. He was then promoted to VP of Program Development where he designed the marketing plan for introducing programs to real estate agents around the country as well as set up strategic alliances for the company.
He was then recruited by Realtor.com, a division of RealSelect, now Move.com, to work as a National Speaker. He spoke to audiences in all but 5 states ranging from 30-3000 attendees, teaching agents how to better market themselves and their properties with the internet. He also worked as National Sales Trainer for the company and taught internally to the large sales force. He helped pioneer online learning for Realtor.com and wrote the territory management plan the company used. Antony's Speaking skills were used by the company at their largest events both internally and externally.
After being laid off in late 2002, He worked as CEO of RealEstatePowerTools.com, where he spoke at conventions about Real Estate Marketing, and as a technology integration consultant for Coldwell Banker NRT Florida. He then returned full circle to a very successful Real Estate career. In 2009 after finishing his degree in Organizational Innovations he made the decision to launched Head of Lettuce Media as a company that can help businesses of all sizes learn how to integrate social media and new technologies into their business mix. Antony continues to speak today bringing entertainment and education to any event he is involved with.

Great presentation today on Social Media to our Rotary Club. Antony has a great sense of humor and keeps his audience engaged. Even those members of our club who had no idea what Twitter even was enjoyed the presentation!

Practical, with a sense of humor that keeps things lively and not boring. Left the talk with a couple of pages of actually useful notes.

What a privilege hearing Anthony speak about Social Media. They have a wonderfully strategic approach to Social Marketing (as strategy is near and dear to our hearts as an ROI driven advertising agency). Anthony took the time to not only share a solid strategy but also freely shared many helpful insightful tools to help market and measure effectiveness. Fantastic!

Antony successfully conveyed the nuances and important details on how to use social media as part of business in an entertaining manner. I have never enjoyed myself at a seminar more than I did at this event. Many thanks to Antony and HOLMedia, the Pittsburgh Tech Council, and ComponentOne for the seminar. His enthusiastic, open, and honest approach to social media was refreshing.

Tony's delivery and great natured presentation style engaged the audience and helped solidify business relationships. He keeps people laughing while they are learning-a great combination!
I worked with Tony when he was the national speaker and trainer for Realtor.com, and heard him speak MANY times in Denver.

Tony has a friendly voice, making him easy to listen to.

Tony has a unique style of engaging his audience. He always tells them something they can use right now to improve their business.
I heard Tony speak on many occassions during the time we were both national speakers with Realtor.com
