He also serves as a mentor at the Small Business Center at Forsyth Technical Community College. Ray also sits on the board of several community non-profit organizations.
From Ray:
“When I talk about relationships with my wife, one of the things she gets tired of me saying is, ‘There’s a lid for every pot.’ I believe that every person has a mate, and every WordPress business has that ‘ideal customer’ waiting for them, too. Learning how to effectively tell your story is a great way for your ideal customer to find you and choose you when they need your services.”
Attendees will learn how to better embrace their niche and what makes their business uniquely suited their customers.
