Advice from Darlene Wilson

Businesses and the owners need exposure and it is important to reach your community and your client/customers through intentional networking. Use your time wisely and be sure to make the connections that will help elevate your product or service all while building relationships. Follow-up, get contact information, and then set-up additional opportunities to connect.

Advice from Rashida Reese

Network with purpose and intent. Go into each networking opportunity anticipating who will be in the room and how they can bring value to you and your business.

Advice from Tanesha Sims-Summers

You can’t be on an island alone in the business growth journey. Great businesses are built on relationships. There may be people who can support your business through mentorship and resources or you could land your next big sale. Either way, people do business with people they like and trust. This should be in the fabric of your company. No product is so great that it can’t be replaced. Wow your customers with great attitudes, service and community engagement.
