About this Event
Business Detectives Club: Case Cracking Session
Hosted by Nance Hodges aka Business Detective NanceDrew
You know that thing you've been stuck on for three months? The CRM that doesn't work the way it should. The pitch that makes people's eyes glaze over. The idea you can't quite name yet. The days you just don't feel like doing this anymore.
Running a business is one of the loneliest jobs there is, and most of the time, the only people you can talk it through with are other business owners who don't have time either. The Business Detective Club provides that time.
For three hours, a small room of business owners works through real problems together, live, with Nance guiding the investigation. No pitching. No networking small talk. Just the problem you walked in with, and a room built to help you solve it.
Here's what happens: each person gets 10 to 30 minutes to talk about their business and where they're currently stuck. Nance asks the questions that get underneath what's actually going on. Then the floor opens — sometimes the answer comes from Nance, sometimes from someone else in the room who solved this exact problem last year. You leave with an actual plan, not just a nice conversation.
Think of it less like a workshop and more like study hall, except the person next to you might have already solved your problem, and Nance has spent years fixing exactly this kind of stuck. It's the clarity of an hour with a consultant, at a fraction of the cost, because you're pulling from an entire room instead of one person.
Stay for all three hours, or leave the moment you've got what you came for. Nobody's tracking the door.
Past cases have included: Untangling a CRM that wasn't working the way it should. Figuring out what business to actually start when the idea was still fuzzy. Getting real about a social media or networking strategy that had been sitting on a to-do list for months.
One business owner came in with a pitch that kept confusing people, no one could quite tell what he actually helped with. The group worked through it together in the room, he left with a clearer pitch, a follow-up scheduled, and started practicing it right away.
What people have said:
"Nance has great insights. The time I spent with her helped me to solidify my professional direction. She helped me channel my entrepreneurial spirit, and I now work in a fast-growing, mission-driven company."
Who this is for: Entrepreneurs and business owners who want to stop solving things alone, with people in the room who've actually done it.
