Valerie Brutti introduced me to PowerCore almost 20 years ago! She was my Mary Kay Sales Director and recommended PowerCore as a way to grow my business. Fast forward to today, I'm still a Mary Kay Consultant, but found my true calling as a photographer. I'm a boomerang!! I left PowerCore with one classification, and came back as a photographer. The growth both personally and business wise is something that I have not found any where else! I have a group that cheers me on every success, people who surround me and help me attain my goals, and the stretch - you won't find anywhere else. 

Susan Cryor, my across the cul-de-sac neighbor, told a friend of hers -- who lived two hours away -- about my self assignment to combat my introversion and shyness. He invited me to his PowerCore Team. At 7 o'clock in the morning. Two hours away.

Attending that meeting changed everything.

I was introduced to PowerCore by a financial advisor who was trying to start a new team. In the end, I joined the North Gwinnett team because it was close to my office. It's hard to believe that was more than 10 years ago now! I am also a "boomerang member", having returned to PowerCore on the Milton team after a few years at home with my young daughter.

PowerCore has been so good for me both personally and professionally. I have built my business largely on PowerCore referrals, but I am also incredibly grateful for the personal and professional development I have undergone thanks to Wendy's mentorship and the opportunity to surround myself with like-minded business people every week. I can offer my clients more value by connecting them to trusted professionals - and I have the joy of learning a lot of new things. Thanks to my team members, I have at least a basic understanding of what each of them does and when it's time to send a client or friend their way.

PowerCore works and it's also a joy to be a part of - I look forward to Friday mornings with my Milton team family.

Ray Evans approached me one day to invite me to a virtual Power Core meeting in early January 2021.  Ray had told me of the benefit he had received from being a member and thought it could benefit my travel business.  

He wasn't wrong.....

Finishing up my fourth year of Power Core I've seen over $1 million in sales generated through referrals created through my membership.  Ray has been a continual supporter and a strong mentor as I came up through the ranks. 

Power Core has also given me additional sales and marketing training, leadership development and a way to reconnect after leaving a sales career of over 35 years in the wireless communications industry.  

The relationships I've built both within my team and other teams I've "subbed" on have been invaluable.  I've been able to go deeper into different industries and partnered with them for promotional opportunities as well. 

Thank you, Ray, for inviting me and for giving me the opportunity to grow my business in such a robust manner!

Two former members introduced me. John Fortener and Dr. Phil Crane.  Powercore has led to increased business as well as increased skills in networking and building gate openers.

I was introduced to PowerCore by Mike Breit, who holds the Financial Advisor seat in the Roswell 400 team, and have benefitted immensely from the organization through learning, referrals, the structure that the weekly meetings give me, and most importantly, from having the support of the people on my team. I see PowerCore as an integral part of my personal and professional growth, and can't thank Mike enough for extending the invitation to join. 

Joseph ‘the great hair’ Powell is my PoweCore angel. He encouraged me to check out PowerCore to help me achieve my business goals. Roswell 400 already had a coach, so I visited the Milton team, and I loved it! Sure, there was A LOT of clapping, but I loved the energy! But before I could join, another coach snagged the spot.

A couple of weeks later, Joseph barged into my office to tell me the coach at Roswell 400 had left and insisted I come to the next meeting. So, I did. And that same morning, I came back to my office and joined!

Roswell 400 has truly been a game-changer for me. I’ve built incredible relationships that have led to amazing referrals and opportunities to grow my business. I now have a group of trusted resources to support my clients, business network, friends, and family. I’ve even built my own team of trusted advisors for my business and life—my CPA/Fractional CFO, health insurance agent, VA, and chiropractor are all from PowerCore!

I’ve been networking for many years (since 2008) and loved it, but I’ve learned more in my first three months at PowerCore than I did in all the years before.

Most importantly, PowerCore gave me something I didn’t even realize I was missing: a sense of community. Since moving to ATL in 2020, I’d been missing that special energy I used to get from networking and connecting with people in person. In a way, I feel like PowerCore brought my mojo back!

Orlando Lewis from the Sugarloaf team invited me to join in August 2024.  I immediately felt embraced by the Peachtree Team and joined in time for the next meeting the following week.

My business has benefitted by gaining a host of gate openers as well as direct referrals for a number of projects in a few short months.  I know this is just the beginning.

Annie Derose-Broeckert (Bulldog Realtor) introduced me to PowerCore and invited me to the Fayette Chick-Fil-A group on Friday mornings.  Even before the invite, Annie referred me to others in the group.  Ken Derose-Broeckert (KenCan) had also invited me and continued to talk about the importance of a network for his business.  Increased sales, learning to talk about my business, and helpful advice from other members has benefited my business.  Thank you to Annie and Ken, for believing in me, helping me get started in the area, and for the continued push to provide excellent service.
