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.
