What is Stage Series?
Stage Series is a new bi-monthly offering exclusively for women-owned businesses. Each series consists of three virtual events that include small group networking, a presentation, and a workshop. For each series, there is an overarching business topic. For each event, the presentation sub-topic differs based on the business stage targeted: Start Up (under 3 years), Emerging (3 – 5 years), or Sustaining (5+ years).
Each stage will meet 6 times in 2022, January through November, typically on the third week of alternating months, with the Start Up session on Tuesday, the Emerging session on Wednesday, and the Sustaining session on Thursday. While each event has an intentional target stage, you are welcome to sign up for any and all topics you feel are relevant to your business. Open exclusively to women-owned businesses, this is a safe space to bring your questions about a particular topic and specific scenarios you’re experiencing in your business for which you want resolution.

| |  | Debbie Mrazek Founder The Sales Company
I can’t remember a time when I didn’t get a “thrill” from helping someone. Helping others is a way of life for me.
After
enjoying so much success in the technology industry back in the “good
ol’ days” of selling for many different manufacturing companies, I felt
like I had earned a PhD in sales. My “helping” grew from selling for
different companies to consulting with companies about how they could
sell better, smarter and make more doing what they were already doing.
Early
on, I realized that my view of sales was very different than other
consultants’ view of sales. I asked lots of questions about everything
from hiring the right people to how the company was doing overall
financially. The end result often took us away from sales consulting and
moved the company toward the real problems that were affecting sales.
Today,
my dream of The Sales Company is alive and well as a solopreneur
consultant. That was—and still is—a great way for me to personally work
with the individuals and companies who want to work personally with me.
However, I always knew what I really wanted.
