What’s the good news, ladies? August edition

I can’t believe it’s almost Labor Day!  This summer has just flown by.  Now, who’s ready to kick it in 4^th Quarter?  Hopefully, you’ve been getting some incredible inspiration from all these wonderful ladies this year and reading some new ideas on how to blow the doors off for your yearend.  My dad always said, “80 percent of issues come down to the personnel” and these next ladies I’m going to introduce you to have figured that out.  Please welcome, Bola, Morgan and Kelly into the fold.  These ladies have learned it’s all about people, whether  on your staff, in your sales territory or when you’re networking.

Bola Sokunbi, Clever Girl Finance

“Over the last 12 months, my biggest accomplishment growing my business has been hiring the right people to support our growth! The people that make up the Clever Girl Finance team have been instrumental in our scaling from one financial education course to now 35+ in the span of a year. As you know, hiring the is one of the biggest struggles businesses face and I’ve made many mistakes hiring the wrong people in the past. But this past year, I really focused on the culture I wanted to create and the values I was looking for in my team. My second biggest accomplishment was finally getting my first book out into the world, after working on it for two years!”

Morgan Franke, Principal Financial Group

“I recently led a grassroots marketing campaign in a new firm territory resulting from a strategic acquisition. The campaign consisted of a tactical phased email campaign complemented by a physical mailing campaign and targeted advertisements. Within the first two months after the campaign concluded, the firm had gained three new clients in the targeted territory and several scheduled meetings with other prospective clients. Leading this campaign gave me the opportunity to quantify our marketing ROI and show firm stakeholders the importance of crafting specific and targeted marketing initiatives with a call to action.“
