The Constant Networker: Recent Episodes
Jason Brooks
Networking, some fear it while others love it. Networking can not only help you pass referrals, it can also help you grow your sphere of influence. People you know like and trust become your ultimate bridge to a new customer, account or even more friends. The goal of the Constant Networker is to help others learn the keys to successful networking.
Each week presents a new networking guest to talk about their business and how networking has helped them.
After each special guest stay tuned for upcoming information on local SWFL networking events so you can become a Constant Networker.
Talented is a great word for Joshua Roberts. Finding a good specialist to help you sell on Amazon, Wal-Mart or Wayfair (plus many more) is VERY hard these days. Some people also think they can just do it themselves but then wonder a year down the road why someone elses product is front page and theirs isn't. It's easy, they didn't have a specialist like Joshua. I speak from experience as someone who ran 2 websites that sold products, getting onto other sales channels and being successful is HARD. Daily changes to algorithm within websites, keeping up to date on visual changes and making sure you have the correct As Copy with keywords is VERY tough. This is where Joshua Roberts with Bonita Labs comes in....
Bonita Labs helps companies like these increase revenue and profit by developing, marketing and optimizing online sales channels. If you would like to see how Bonita Labs can help you increase revenue and profit, visit bonitalabs.com and schedule a free consultation.

Just another episode with another amazing person. Such a great conversation with Jan Hoffman of Go Naples Home Watch & Concierge Services. He and his wife Vicky bring value to their industry that you may not see anywhere else. They are very family focused as a business which means you are treated like a family member, that's important because you want to trust the person you put in charge of watching your home. This was a lot of fun for me because Jan is a great person with a very interesting story!
Jans ideal client is a seasonal home owner in Naples and Marco Island that understands the importance of having a home watch professional conducting weekly visits while their home away from home is unoccupied. They use a GPS enabled software to run a customized checklist that allows them to identify irregularities BEFORE they become a disaster. Their clients enjoy the hospitality white glove service!
