Recent participant reviews

Chi Chi Okezie, ceo OF SIMPLE NETWORKING

"Candice with Mariposa Marketing Agency offered a dynamic session! She engaged the business owners with case studies, short activities, and relevant discussions. Her slide presentation was easy to follow/comprehend. As well as professional and branded to her company. I definitely learned a lot about marketing, my target audience, and differentiating my business. I highly recommend her without any doubt."

Mandula tHRIMANNE, UGA SBDC

"I attended Candice's Operations Excellence class through the GA SBDC Dekalb office, and it was one of the most practical trainings I have taken. She explained the importance of operations in a clear, engaging way and broke down the value of SOPs and process mapping so that anyone could apply them immediately. These two areas are often overlooked in businesses, yet they can create significant improvements with very little cost. I have already used the process mapping techniques I learned from Candice to remove unnecessary steps and improve efficiency in my own work. I highly recommend her class to anyone who wants to strengthen their operations."
