Verizon Small Business Digital Ready
Verizon partnered with IFEL (Institute for Entrepreneurial Leadership) on small business financial and marketing courses including How to write winning business proposals and Creating content that matters. One of the coaching events I attended was a 1:1 review where I was matched up with an expert that reviewed the user experience on my website. We went over a comprehensive checklist and I got their feedback on potential offers and packages I was putting together. Highly reccomend.
