Empowering Business Owners with a Personal Touch
For me, the best part of the experience was everyone's attitude and mindset; the whole team
not only told us but showed us through their actions that they were honored to be in service to
us! I have never had that happen in any business class or program that I have attended. I felt so
deeply grateful to be recognized in that way and to have a team of people that were intentionally
there to help us grow, learn more, and become better business owners and operators.

Compassionate Support in Challenging Times
“Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to join this program, it's very helpful that finally, I can get more info and useful resources to sustain the business during this uncertain economic situation. And to hear some information from real people, instead of searching randomly myself online. All this feeling made me feel not alone
and feel supported since during this covid, I felt overwhelmed and burned out to handle too many things to sustainand survive the business.”

As a part ner of the Digital Sales Access Program, I have had the opportunity to witness first-hand
the impact that the program has had on local businesses in the Seattle area.
