I just HAVE to blog about Kristeen Sopeju-Edwards’ wreath installation at e-Spot. Only one word describes it! Fabulous!

This signature wreath for the e-Spot  in Oakville, ON was installed a couple of weeks ago and it was great then but guess what … ? Kristeen came back and did an upgrade to customized it for e-Spot’s April theme –  Extreme Self Care. I mean who does that!
Most service providers just do the installation, get the cheque and Bingo they are gone, but not Kristeen, Wreath Queen. She really cares not only about the initial WOW factor but also the client’s ongoing enjoyment of her product, be it wreath or gift. No wonder she is a ‘gifting specialist’ , she is special!

Now this wreath has gone from great to exceptional, adorned with additional embellishments that speak volumes not only about e-Spot but about Kristeen Sopeju-Edwards, The Wreath Queen.

Well done Kristeen!

As I posted on the Wreath Queen facebook page   “First the installation and now an update for April. Who comes back to update a wreath already installed at the client – no one but the top girl – THE QUEEN.”  Kristeen Sopeju-Edwards!  Become a fan, but more importantly show your clients how important they are to your business and let The Queen be your gifting specialist. You will be glad you did!

The next Essential Message Teleseminar - Wednesday, March 25th, 2010 - 3 pm EST

Coaching The Corner Office – Increase your fees 500% by helping Fortune 500 Executives Keep Their Job

As an affiliate member of The Essential Message, I would like to invite you to join my business coach, Michel Neray, when he speaks with Marie Guthrie, Founder of Career & Life Tracks Coaching. Find out how she was able to increase her fees 500%!

Sign up before March 17th for the Early Bird rate $17.77

Before 2009, Marie Guthrie earned a decent living from a combination of corporate consulting, leadership & team coaching, and private executive clients in career crisis. Like most coaches, all of her business came from referrals of highly satisfied clients.  But with more coaches entering the market, she found that even corporate paid work was becoming commoditized.

Marie has over 20 years experience as a senior executive in the very exclusive world of the Fortune 50. (That’s not a typo!) She is an innovative business leader, professional coach and productivity consultant known for building employee capabilities needed to achieve personal and business goals. 

Please join me, Cheryl Scoffield, Executive Sales Support, for this Essential Message teleseminar on March 25th.

Celebrating Women – their goals, pathways, and accomplishments at the Burlington Convention Centre.

Young women need access to adult role models who are willing to share their career pathways and encourage the goals and dreams of youth. Since its inception in 2005, attendance at WACC has increased nearly 50% with over 580 female mentors and youth in attendance at the last event.

Scotiabank is a proud supporter of small business and promise to share some insight from their “Get Growing for Business” initiative.

Tibor Shanto of Renbor Sales Solutions, Inc. is sponsoring one of the Showcase Seminar sessions. As a widely recognized sales expert, Tibor will be asking, “What’s in your pipeline?”.

The July August 2009 issue of this great regional business information publication features Southern Ontario’s Mayors Speak Out. Tom and Wendy Peters do a great job of publishing this long standing newspaper that promotes business in Mississauga and the surrounding area. The circulation is 30,000 – from Mississauga to Windsor..

For this issue they also sent a copy to the Prime Minister and the Ontario Premier’s Offices as well as to all the MP’s and MPP’s located in the distribution area of Southern/South-western Ontario.

As a result of my association with HAPPEN (Halton and Peel Professional Executive Network) and Hugh Black of HMB Communications, my article “Build Your Business With Networking In An Economic Downturn” was included on Page 16 of this issue.

If you are interested in advertising in the Mississauga Business Executive for October 18 – 24, 2009 which is Small Business Week, please contact Tom Peters, t.peters at busexec.com. He mentioned that this website is averaging 100,000 requests per month which is excellent for a B2B publication.
