About this Event

Your Aurora Chapter Leader is Jenn Richardson

Topic: Friends First, Sales Follow

Join us in Aurora, IL on Friday, April 4, 2025 to network and hear from our featured member speaker, Candy Kloster.



Guests - Your first meeting is on us! If you are not a paid member of WESOS and this is your first time ever going to a WESOS meeting, select the non-member ticket and use promo code FIRSTTIMEFREE to get your first ticket free.


Candy Brock Kloster shares how shifting your mindset from "making a sale" to "making a friend" transforms the way you grow your business. Real success in entrepreneurship comes from building relationships, creating trust, and showing people exactly how they can support you. It's not about closing a deal β€” it's about opening doors.



Key Takeaways:
  • 🀝 Lead With Connection - When you focus on getting to know people β€” not selling to them β€” you build trust that leads to long-term support and referrals.
  • πŸ’‘ Be Clear About How Others Can Help You - Most people want to support you β€” they just need to know how. Give them simple, specific ways to promote your business.
  • πŸ” Support Goes Both Way - When you uplift and refer other women, they’re more likely to do the same for you. Build a circle of genuine connection, not competition.
