About Our Speaker:
 

For the past decade, Jennifer Ransaw Smith has helped some of the nation’s top company’s position and differentiate themselves in the marketplace. Her creativity, insight and candor have raised brand awareness, challenged the status quo and helped generate impressive revenues. Brands such as Burger King, AT&T, Texaco and Kraft have been direct beneficiaries of her strategic thinking and innovative communication techniques.

And now you can too.

As a brand strategist, public speaker, columnist, and adjunct professor, Jennifer Ransaw Smith, has recently shifted her focus from “just products and services” to include people and launched ROAR, a full-service personal branding consultancy geared toward women. Her goal is to empower them by applying the techniques she mastered positioning and promoting high-profile products and services.

As one of the only personal branding consultancies geared specifically toward women in the country, ROAR was designed around three core principles: identify your niche, promoting it to the appropriate audience, and
managing it continuously. Whether you’re a stay-at-home mom who wants to be PTA President or SVP of an international firm trying to “juggle it all,” these personal branding principles are essential to excelling.

 

She and her partner, Kathy Guido, also recently launched Brand id, a full-service branding consultancy geared specifically toward small-to-mid-sized businesses. They help businesses understand that true branding is much deeper than a glossy brochure and slick website—it involves a fundamental belief system.


Once dubbed a True Visionary by a former agency, Jennifer is on a mission to equip both small businesses and women with the tools they need to “define themselves before others do it for them.” She can be found delivering her message through her consultancy, blog, Examiner column, monthly segment on WMAR and workshops and seminars—a message that reminds people that personal brand management isn’t an option, it’s a necessity.


 

 

WBIS Vision
We can't teach business planning and personal development in a one-day seminar.  However, we can achieve basic familiarity with the tools and resources that help break down the fear of success.  Sometimes the hardest hurdles about business development is knowing how to maneuver all of the 'to do's' as an solo entrepreneur or how to effectively develop a successful team of employees. As members or prospects walk out of one of the WBIS venues, they walk out not just with the desire and inspiration to make the tools work for their business, but also the tools to make it happen. WBIS increases the "Net Worth" of your business success, ON THE SPOT.

  • Please Note: WBIS is not a pure "leads" or traditional networking group, it does not limit the number of members who belong to one direct sales, or industry specific company.  In WBIS , the emphasis is on business and self-development methods rather than competition for business.  In the spirit of success, our requirement is that members co-exist, and there will be business for everyone.  In the cases where WBIS is sponsoring a conference or "Networthing" night at which only one representative is allowed, the current senior member will be given first choice and 1 week to decide before it is offered to the second senior member.  The next time an event is offered, the second senior member will have first choice. 
Pre-Registration is required for WBIS luncheons- Members, 1st Time Guests, Community Partners $20 Non-Members $30. Special Events may incur additional fees.
