A Major Impact
As a business owner, I am always looking for ways to become more organized and increase my profits. One of my favorite ways to hear about these things is to attend an Xperience Connections. Learning about new products or services that can propel my business forward is exciting.
One of the ways we brainstorm is to have a conversation around an education topic. This month our topic was
“Share briefly about a specific business, product or service that has had a major impact on you personally or on your bottom line. For example: a joint of collaborative venture, hiring someone from your XC connections, engaging a coach, joining another networking organization.”
Thank you to the ladies of the Douglasville, Marietta and Cumberland/Atlanta Xperience Connections for sharing their ideas:
- Hired an XC Leader to sell my town home
- Attend Atlanta Business Spotlight regularly because of the value of their seminars/workshops/training
- Engaged a business coach
- Became an Xperience Connections Leader
- Engaged with someone who helped me with my branding which ultimately led me to produce a book
- Invested in a mastermind group for strategizing and support
- Many connections through networking which helped me expand relationships and business
- We started off with networking. Being consistent with networking through XC and other like groups have helped businesses tremendously.
- Utilizing social media was another way that bottom lines were improved.
