"One of the best things about the roadshow today was the different businesses that were in the room, and the different stages of business they were all at. So we had product makers, people selling experiences, we had service businesses; some starting out and some who were more established. And what was great was to see how much sharing there was between the businesses, and the sorts of connections that were being fostered between the people in the room."

"Wow! It's just been so great working with Shelley and her team of Regional Champions on this 'My Business Compass' event. The whole process has been so easy, Shelley and her team has put together all of the collateral and all of the marketing needed - we just have to share it far and wide. And we are so lucky that many of the Regional Champions are actually on our B2B Program as well, so the synergies there are just perfect!"
