I always feel a little conflicted when I blog, like what do I really have to say that is THAT interesting you know? It always ends up sounding like bragging. Growing up there was a saying around my house that I'll twist to fit my thoughts..."if you have to tell someone you're the best at something then you probably aren't". So how do you balance those beliefs living in this world of social media marketing? Time will tell. With that said, here I go!!! I'm just so proud of the work our meeting planners do here at GC and I can't help from sharing some exciting news. It's really because of them that we qualified as a finalist for the Grand Rapids Business Journal’s biennial issue of "Top Women-Owned Businesses" due out later this month. I should also mention that we just received national certification as a Women's Business Enterprise. The WBENC certification for women-owned businesses is one of the most widely recognized and respected certifications in the nation. And while I'm at it I should share this nice article below where Leah and Holly discuss current trends in the meetings industry (click on the image).
We've come a long way from the days of working from my basement...oh wait, I still do that! Nope we didn't spend all our money on credit lines and over financed commerical real estate for overhead. It's kinda funny seeing everyone else just figuring something out that we have known for 10 years here at GC. Project based labor makes the most sense. Exceptional nible staff can deal with short lead times and help clients manage ebbs and flows of their businesss...it's finally accepted and getting recognized and rewarded.
