Joanne Black

Joanne Black is America's leading authority on referral selling. She's not bragging - her publisher gave her that moniker, and she's taking it! Referrals work whether you're looking for a job, want a promotion, need clients, or looking for a date. She's written two books, No More Cold Calling: The Breakthrough System That Will Leave Your Competition in the Dust and Pick Up the Damn Phone: How People, Not Technology, Seal the Deal. Joanne founded her company in 1996. She works with business owners to drive revenue to propel growth through referrals. Get more information about her at nomorecoldcalling.com/David C. Barnett loves to say that it took him 10 years to unlearn what he learned in business school. After a career in advertising sales, Barnett started several businesses, including a commercial debt brokerage house. Helping to finance small- and medium-sized businesses led to the field of business brokerage. Over several years, Barnett sold dozens of businesses for others while managing his own portfolio of income properties and starting his career as a local private investor. Barnett regularly consults with professionals and banks on business and asset values. Presently, he also works with entrepreneurs and would-be entrepreneurs worldwide who are buying, selling, or trying to improve their businesses. You can get more information about him at davidcbarnett.com. Chef Eboni Bowman is the founder of Flavor Atlanta, and she turned her lifelong love of cooking into a successful Georgia-based small business offering personal chef services, meal prep, cooking classes, and catering. Both of Eboni's grandmothers did a lot of cooking and baking, and one was a professional caterer. Eboni started helping them in the kitchen when she was five. She studied at the Art Institute of Atlanta's culinary school and has more than 20 years of experience in the Culinary and Hospitality industries.

We discuss how she grew her business, utilized outsourcing, focused on what she is best at, and kept overhead (and debt) low as she built her business. "Just having those people in place that can do those things and let them do what they're good at, and letting me do what I can do and what I'm good at, it makes it so much more peaceful and better for me." – Eboni BowmanThis week on Small BizChat Podcast:Keeping your overhead small as you get started. Taking your time to build smart.Reusing resources and keeping your services limited to avoid waste and overage.Outsourcing the things that you don't need to be doing yourself. Standing out from the competition. Focusing on what you're strengths are.Resources Mentioned:BossQuiz: https://bossquiz.com/ Connect with Eboni Bowman:Website: https://flavoratlanta.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flavoratlanta/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/flavoratlanta/
