"I discovered Tony in a discussion group in reference to networking so I asked him for advice not really expecting to receive a reply. Well, lo and behold I got more than just a "generic response" but the coaching and advice that I needed to define and expand my personal brand. I highly recommend Tony Gates to assist you in achieving any goal that you have set for yourself. His upbeat, positive demeanor can motivate even the most uninspired person to achieve their personal best."

Independent Branding Consultant

“I hired Tony to be my personal trainer in early spring to lose excess weight. Tony is amazing!!! He got me a schedule/routine that fit my lifestyle, along with a diet fit for my height and weight. If I would have followed the plan exactly I could have got to my target weight in one month, instead it took me two. I have lost 15lbs and my weight is what it was when I graduated high school. Thank you Tony for your dedication and patience.” 

Sales Professional at Guest Check, Inc

“I have talked to Tony on several occasions and attending a few of his group presentations as well. I feel that his creativity and knowledge of marketing and social media in particular make him a valuable contact for almost any industry or sales organization. I have observed that he is always well prepared, organized, and enthusiastic. I would personally hire Tony as a business consultant or as a key note speaker for those that want to take their sales force or business to the next level.”

Broker/Consultant

“Tony Gates is the consummate professional. I have had the pleasure of working with Tony, interviewing him on my radio show, and seeing him speak, and with each encounter I have become more impressed with his level of skill, compassion and expertise.

I would happily recommend Tony to anyone who is looking for the best of the best."

Realtor/Author/Radio Host

“I first met Tony in the discussions of the LinkedIn Top Recommended People group and I can now see why he is a member! He is tops in my book! I am in the process of learning the ins and outs of the world of social media and Tony offered to help me out with a couple of things to make my presence flow better. Well, two hours later....I can't believe what a world of difference he has made to my business presence and personal branding in cyberspace. He truly knows his stuff and was extremely patient with me. When I did not understand what he was referring to he would rephrase it in a way that even I could understand. His ability to coach and share his expertise with me is appreciated more than I can state here in this recommendation. Anyone needing professional coaching should definitely contact Tony Gates.”

“Tony is a thoughtful and knowledgeable career coach, helping me to build my "brand identity." In two hours, Tony propelled me down a path which will create more contacts and greater success in my business of writing and social media. I would recommend Tony to anyone looking for more exposure and knowledge of networking and brand identity. Tony is FANTASTIC, gently guiding me through the "networking maze" to the next level. After completing our first short session I feel more confident and I am looking forward to the results and more time with Tony in the coming weeks.”

"When I first heard Tony speak a year ago, I was impressed and knew this was someone I could learn from. He's a wealth of information and insight and has been a tremendous help to me. Even after we've worked together, he'll check in with me to see how I am doing and if he can offer any assistance. Tony always has fresh ideas and great information to share. If you're not on 'Team Tony' you should be!""

Tony's advice on marketing not only makes sense, it confirms many of my own values. I have felt reassured to know that a personal human touch is in-line for our time.
