Half Of Kelsey's New Biz Comes From Alignable!

Kelsey Dunbar is not only the 2024 Local Business Person Of The Year in Oswego, IL, he's also an Alliance Ambassador and a Group Leader. 

And most of his meteoric rise as a major networker on Alignable has taken place this year. (Yes, that's right, since January 2024).  

He has a great (and very rapid) success story, which goes to show, you could be experiencing Kelsey's success, too -- in just six months -- if you follow his lead. 

Here's his testimonial, in his own words, which maps his journey so far.

Business Networking On Alignable  -- Digging In 

Joining Alignable has been a game-changer for my business! In just six months, I've seen remarkable growth and connections that have transformed my professional network. At this point, 50% of my new business comes from Alignable.

I went from not even knowing what Alignable was to becoming an Ambassador and Group Leader in less than three months, going Premium along the way, which has maximized my engagement and visibility.

My group, Wellness Connectors, has grown to over 4,000 members in less than five months. 

Plus, I average 125,000 profile views every 90 days – and I have over 150 recommendations and 600 connections. 

Not bad for six months of commitment on the platform!

2024 Local Biz Person Of The Year Contest: A Turning Point

Participating in 2024’s contest was a pivotal time for me, as well.  

It provided the perfect opportunity to connect with new people who were equally eager to network. 

The atmosphere was electric, with everyone excited to comment on posts, start new groups, lend support, and jump on calls to connect with fellow small business owners. 

I also reached out to other leaders on local leaderboards for advice and support, which was invaluable. 

It felt like the playoffs of Alignable, and the energy was contagious.

Maintaining High Engagement Via Smart Connect℠ Events

Beyond the contest, I’ve continued with several strategic actions to maintain high engagement . 

I've utilized Smart Connect℠ events to connect with people suggested based on my profile information, which is why completing your profile thoroughly is crucial.

I joined various groups and engaged with participants in post threads. This proactive approach led me to become a Group Leader and Ambassador, opening doors for both myself and others.

When I started my Wellness Connectors Group, I did it to meet a specific demographic and potential referral partners. And that effort has been very successful already. By creating a community of like-minded individuals, I facilitated opportunities for everyone involved. It's a win-win situation – helping others ultimately helps you!

Alignable has truly been instrumental in my business growth, and I can't recommend it highly enough. 

The connections, support, and opportunities available on this platform are unparalleled. If you're looking to expand your network and grow your business, you’re in the right place here on Alignable.
