Marie is a Haitian immigrant from New York and an artist. She started her business in 2020, offering three services – murals, kids art programs, and paint parties – but she struggled to get off the ground.
After two years of working with Duplessy Foundation, Marie grew from a shy artist making $48,000 to a confident business owner who earned 1M in yearly revenue.
We connected Marie with sales professionals at Hubspot so she could understand how to position her services and learn how to sell to potential customers.
We hired a designer to develop her materials and website so she would have the collateral she needed to get her message out in today’s world.
Through our year-long mentoring program, Marie simplified her offerings down to one product and grew her business by 600% in one year.
By 2040, our goal is to partner with 1000 diverse business owners like Marie to help them each generate $1 million per year.
Since 2012, I’ve helped women, immigrant, and minority business owners generate more than 12M in sales.
The critical step for each of them? Learning the fundamentals of sales.
These diverse business owners transform their businesses by learning the basic sales tools and techniques. Take Karla for example: she grew from being a shy house cleaner doing everything on her own to running a staff of 20 employees in one year.
By 2040, it’s my dream to find 1,000 diverse business owners just like Karla and help them each reach $1,000,000 in annual revenue.
