Testimonials

“My first experience from ISLB was at Natural Pet, and it was a wonderful experience. I was introduced to Rochelle Hood who has now become a close friend and an amazing network connection. I come to the group as often as possible, and I have seen my business grow. In 2013, I can trace over 31 accounts that have come directly or from a referral from ISLB and over $18,000 in additional revenue. This has been one of the best and most productive groups.” ~Sean F.

Testimonials“I was invited to an ISLB Meeting shortly after Zoomin

Groomin Space Coast Florida was on the road. The camaraderie and teamwork is fantastic amongst the members. It is easy and fun making business connections and personal acquaintances along the way. I was given the opportunity early on with the group to showcase my business with another member, Natural Pet Specialty Shop, and display the van and show how our system works. Through my connection with ISLB we now groom many of the group members four legged family members and have received several referrals generated from this group. Our 500th pet in the system in June of 2012 was our leader Rochelle Hood, pet mom to Cassie Kroo. Being part of ISLB has had a domino effect in generating new business for me.” ~ Cathy E.

Testimonials“My involvement in ISLB has led me to meeting tremendous

people and professionals. Meeting Christy Busby w/31 Gifts allowed me to not only order great, functional gifts for family, but also have a great mechanic in Buzz’s Automotive.Referrals by Rochelle and Rhonda have led to direct capital for our business, the lifeblood for any professional. The trainings and speakers that ISLB offers are educational in nature and highly beneficial for personal growth and development.Lastly, developing a professional relationship with Robyn Hatfield of Adecco Staffing has led to business development opportunities w/eBay Enterprises and its 4,000 employees. In fact, Robyn allowed our company to establish a presence at Adecco while interviewing prospective employees for eBay. It’s been an excellent, beneficial relationship.” ~Greg & Liz W.

Testimonials

“ISLB has made me a more successful business owner. It has given me confidence in my business. Since I am not a traditional business and do not have a brick and mortar establishment, some people do not take my business seriously. I have never felt anything but confidence and support from the members of ISLB. The ability to have amazing businesses to refer out also gives me credibility as a business owner. The lifelong friendships I have made from this group are ones I will treasure forever.” ~Christy B
