Entrepreneur Work Session

As a group in a roundtable format, understand each entrepreneur's specific pain points, discuss possible solutions, and document next steps so the entrepreneur and CORE understand how to make meaningful progress.

Key Discussion Points:

  • The Power of the Hot Seat: Six of our driven entrepreneurs stepped up in a structured 10-minute round-robin format, sharing their current business roadblocks and tapping into the collective genius of the group to brainstorm real-time solutions.

  • Taming the Inventory Beast: A major theme of the night was the headache of multi-platform inventory management. We discussed the real struggles of trying to sync e-commerce sites (like Wix) with POS systems (like Square) and third-party vendor platforms without losing your mind.

  • Leveling Up Brand Identity: We dove into the creative process, discussing what it takes to successfully rebrand, pivot product lines, and work effectively with hired designers to capture your vision.

  • Mastering B2B Marketing: We tackled the unique challenges of B2B lead generation, the search for affordable advertising that actually converts, and how to start implementing AI to fix inefficient business processes.

Next Steps:

  • Take Action on Tech: Entrepreneurs facing integration roadblocks are tasked with scheduling immediate follow-up calls with tech support (e.g., Square) to untangle their multi-platform setups.

  • Keep Pushing Creative Boundaries: Those in the rebranding phase need to finalize their upcoming meetings with their designers to lock in their new brand assets. Keep the momentum going!

  • Prepare for the B2B Workshop: CORE is actively planning a dedicated B2B marketing workshop based on tonight's feedback—keep an eye out for those details.
