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 — it's about opening doors.
Key Takeaways:
- 🤝 Lead With Connection - When you focus on getting to know people — not selling to them — you build trust that leads to long-term support and referrals.
- 💡 Be Clear About How Others Can Help You - Most people want to support you — they just need to know how. Give them simple, specific ways to promote your business.
- 🔁 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.
