RECOMMENDATIONS FROM LINKEDIN:
“Randy is a real surprise — of the most pleasant kind. His heart as well as his business are guided by a power greater than any of us and his life reflects his faith in God and his humility to do what he is called to do. So OK, as human being, Randy is truly in a special class by himself. As a business advisor and marketing coach, I know he’s personally made — and kept — every commitment to action that he will ever ask of you as his client. He learned and practices the art of marketing of which he is a most ardent student of John Jantsch, founder of Duct Tape Marketing. He delights in sharing his marketing artistry with his clients. His love of marketing helps his clients grow their business by design, not accident. If you’re seeking a decent, caring and professional advisor to work with ON your business in the marketing arena . . . trust me, you will have to go far and wide to do better than Randy.” Bill Doerr, CCO, SellMore Marketing, Hartford, CT, February 27, 2009

“I attended a “Marketing Twins” seminar in March 09 at which Randy and Donny trained on the topic of using social networking tools to promote small businesses. Randy is an excellent trainer. I learned more in one night than I could have taught myself in a year. Great marketing consultants! They are up to date with technology and the industry.” Debbie Venable, MBA, Volunteer Board Member, Grapevine Public Library, March 5, 2009

“I want you to visit 1429 Creative Street with me. A knock at the door brings a hearty welcome by the MARKETING TWINS Randy & Donny Vaughn. A glance around the room reveals a bookshelf lined with marketing solutions and plans strategically placed in an orderly fashion labeled Duct Tape Marketing. Oh well you think duct tape is probably one of the greatest inventions since RainX. The twins ask you to join them at the table and you sit down your paper, your laptop, and your dreams. Over the next 3 hours you chart a course that includes all the latest marketing trends and the brilliance that only twins can create. You sit and marvel as great idea after great idea is produced. As the conversation draws to an end you happily give a small amount of money in exchange for the new level of hope and very practical marketing plan you walk away with.” Deana Herd, Owner of Chocolate Finale and Life Coach with Passaggio Coaching, Dallas, TX, June 4, 2008

“I first came in contact with Randy through Flickr. He messaged me about a possible project for one of his clients. Instantly, I noticed there was something different about Randy’s attitude and approach to doing business. He had a personality that communicated that he took his business very seriously, but that he was also interested in helping everyone around him. He placed the interest of his client and possibly even myself (the contractor) above his own, and this is very rare in the age that we live. Probably what struck me the most about Randy’s business personality is the value he places on getting out there and understanding not just his business, but other people’s business’s as well. I believe this gives him a special level of authority when he gives consultations on marketing that few people can provide. He is the kind of client that I love working for. He was very accommodating and understanding. His level of professionalism is outstanding. I would recommend him for any one looking to do work for him or hire him for a project or job.” Ben Ehmke, Designer & Owner, Bemky Media, Tyler, TX, January 30, 2009

“Being a fellow Duct Tape Marketing Coach, I get to see the back end of Randy’s business. A lot of people are told not to judge someone’s business by the front of the store but by what I have seen of Randy’s work and ethics the front end has to be simply outstanding. He is full of creative ideas, willing to share constructively, but maybe more importantly his attention to detail is amazing. I am thankful to have him as a colleague.” Joe Dager, Business 901, Duct Tape Marketing Coaching, Fort Wayne, IN, May 20, 2008

“Everyone at the top of their game has a coach. Tiger Woods needs someone to stand outside of the situation and provide insight, encouragement and instruction. So what does this mean to your own career? If you are committed to being the best you can be at your profession and you are in it for the long haul, you have got to get a personal coach. You need feedback on your progress toward getting better. My relationship with (The Marketing Twins) has helped me tremendously. Randy and Donny have come to me, walked with me and brought out of me, that which I could never have done on my own. Recently I had a 1 hour coaching session with Donny. At the end of the hour I walked away encouraged and equipped with a page full of great ideas! Make the investment. Take the time. Humble yourself and get a coach. And if you happen to win 66 PGA tournaments or earn close to a billion dollars, you can thank me. But only after you thank (The Marketing Twins).” Joel Quile, BaraChurch – April 2009
