Did You Miss Out On 1,228,500,000 Customers in 2015?

If you are not selling online, you probably did! According to Shaw Academy, in 2015 there were 1,228,500,000 online buyers. How many of those did you capture?

The future of sales and customer engagement is ONLINE. It will come through your website, and social media sites such as Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, YouTube, Google+, Periscope, Twitter and other such services. These will be accessed by computer, but more and more it will be by the mobile device.

Don't Make Nice, Make MONEY!

Posted by Christine Burke on Wednesday, January 20, 2016, In : Insight

I was just having lunch with a fellow female entrepreneur. We were discussing the differences between men and women in business.

While we were working on our vision boards yesterday with Judy, we talked about what we were seeking in the next few months as well as what we were trying to avoid.

I was recently talking with a former entrepreneur (yes, I said former) and the subject of closed businesses came up. She mentioned that prior to becoming a business owner, and when working a J.O.B., she used to think badly when she heard that someone closed a business.
