You have to define your target market. It's the most difficult part of the business process in my opinion based on my interaction with hundreds of small businesses.

I've seen people be very successful by knowing and owning a market, and being omnipresent in that market.

If you have an idea that you're executing on be sure to have a good grasp of your clientele. This allows for differentiation.

happy to chat more, shoot me a dm.

I’m currently working with a senior level HR candidate. This individual has a doctorate in business with a focus in HR, her SPHR, Federal, and private sector experience at the singer level, and has a fabulous personality. I’m curious is anyone else having difficulties play some candidates like this? At this point I’m starting to think it’s racial or her sex based of the lack of interest in this candidate. Any thoughts?

I don't want to go the traditional route of creating tiers, because I feel like you should do most of the things in tiers regardless on how much they donated. Can anyone assist with coming up with some ideas?

Also, does anyone know how to create a virtual swag bag?

Thanks in advance.
