“I met with Erin to learn more about the opportunities available to local businesses. She shared what she does as a Navigator and how she can work with local businesses.  She allowed me to share how I work with my clients. 

She suggested a few additional services I could add to my Social Media Marketing company. I was able to implement her ideas within a two-week period. This will put more cash flow into my business in the near future. I have also sent her a few new clients who love to build businesses to learn more about how the GRO program can help them grow their businesses.”
