Contestant's Case to Win

This is based on the number of votes received and does not reflect the quality of the business or chances of winning.
Welcome Committee is a word-of-mouth marketing service that connects new movers with community, professional and retail merchants in the four county Lake Norman region. Our personal welcome visits to this niche market of new consumers helps influence their buying behavior at a critical time in their decision-making process. Newcomers are eager to receive information for products and services they need, have no shopping loyalties and are open to recommendations as they settle in.

Our friendly and knowledgeable Welcome Committee Greeters bring a free welcome basket filled with maps, local happenings, coupons and gift offers to help them get "plugged in" to the community.

Others have asked me to help them launch a similar welcome service in their communities, so in 2006, I published a business guide, "Home-Based Business: The Complete Guide to Owning and Operating a Successful Welcome Service Business," using the Welcome Committee business model as a blue print. Today there are 120+ Welcome Service Businesses operating on four continents.

I would love to be considered a Leading Mom in Business because I have been balancing a successful career for 13 years while raising three terrific teens. It's still a day-to-day challenge to maintain balance and harmony in the home and in the workplace...but it can be done. I give credit to my family as well as my wonderful Welcome Committee staff...without them, success would not be possible!
