Yolie KelleyNevada State Development Corporation Promotes Yolie Kelley To Marketing/It Manager

“In 2013, business relationships are built on Facebook as often as a handshake,” said Debra Alexandre, president of Nevada State Development Corporation. “Websites, newsletters, and other digital social tools have taken over in modern commerce and you have to stay on top of them to keep the phones ringing. Yolie has been working with us on these things for years—she was so successful in revamping our website this past summer that we created this new position for her to help us continue to evolve our capabilities.”

“Our new website and popular newsletter let us reach out to our business and banking partners and spread the word that small business loans have changed. Where our old site was a thumbnail of information, our new website is much more dynamic and lets us better connect with clients,” said Kelley. “The small-business loan process is easier than most people think. We can give you an educated response to whether you qualify for a small business loan with 72 hours.”
