Save on Travel and Make a Difference
Save and Make a Difference at the Same Time!
Would you spend $79.95 on a travel membership if it saved you more that that on your next trip? (Members can even get a week at a resort condo for as little as $295. Where would your family like to vacation this summer!)
What if part of that purchase also was used to train the unemployed, supported a local non profit, put a few dollars in the pocket of a local entrepreneur and was a way to keep some of what you spend on your trip in our community?
Sounds like everyone wins! Please get in touch if you would consider purchasing a membership and I will help you structure your purchase to make the biggest difference possible!
Profile Information
- About my Business:
- Opportunity Knocks is my "umbrella" company. I have operated a variety of businesses under this name. Most of my ventures have been related to advertising, but I have also sold a variety of products and services.
I am a social entrepreneur at my core and am working to connect people needing work, non-profits, and business owners in ways that will help all prosper.
I have many years of experience in the network marketing industry (also called MLM). If you have had a bad experience in the industry or know someone who has had a bad experience, please understand that good tools are often misused and average tools can be used differently and can become excellent tools!
A core group of experienced business owners and I are building teams interested in creating funds to train the unemployed and support non profits.
Trainees who have not been able to find work are taught basic business skills. After training, they join one of our fund raising teams to practice the skills that they have learned. They will earn while learning because we are using a network marketing travel program to fund this project! We hope they will continue to work with us and mentor others, but we will know we have accomplished our mission if they use what they learn to create their “dream business”!
We are currently working with two nonprofits
•Standing Inside the Gap (mentors at risk youth)
•Wags 4 Tags (rescues dogs and trains them to be companions for military members suffering from PTSD
We are looking for people to join our team who can generate leads – internet marketers, social media enthusiasts, print advertisers, radio advertisers, etc. We are also looking for professional coaches to mentor our trainees.
Please contact me if this project is of interest or if you want information on how to save and make a difference when you travel.
Let's work together to make a difference!
- About Me:
- I'm a creative entrepreneur and I enjoy creating and promoting businesses.
Over the years, I have owned and sold several different businesses. I love the challenge of taking an idea and building a creative business. I think way outside of the box and especially love to combine great programs in creative ways.
I have been a member of the Barter Business Exchange since 1994. It is the tool that has helped me the most as a business owner and I thoroughly enjoy teaching other business owners in central North Carolina how to use barter to increase profitability. I worked at the Barter Business Exchange full time for many years as the director of sales. I now enjoy being a part-time member of the sales team so I have time to enjoy my grandson, volunteer at the school, and help with non profit fundraising.
I also enjoy tutoring children as a volunteer in a local elementary school. Please contact me if you want to hope to learn ow to experience the joy of making a difference in a child’s life. The pay is great: smiles, cute notes, pictures, and hugs!
- My Ideal Referral is:
- 1.Business owners interested in helping non-profits to raise funds.
2. Social Entrepreneurs - Business owners who want to increase profitability while supporting their favorite non profit.
3. Advertising and social media professionals.
4. Coaches and mentors
- My Ideal Referral Partner is:
- A creative person who thinks "outside the box" and can see how the pieces that most people think are unrelated can fit together to make an exciting picture.
