Co-Founder

We have been working with The Coaching Network (Maria) for about 6 months now. Maria has helped us tremendously with navigating business networking groups. Not just with selecting the one best for us, but trained us on how to participate in them. She’s even sent some referrals our way. Her knowledge with our industry is a huge plus with daily operations as we continue to learn and grow. Our sales have increased beyond the original target we set after the first few sessions. We will continue using those strategies going into next year focusing on continued growth. Thanks, Maria!
