20 Years in Business: The #1 Secret to Success 🚀    After two decades as an entrepreneur, the key to building a successful company has never been clearer to me:     Satisfied customers 🏆     It's the cornerstone of every decision we make and the driving force behind our growth. That's why I'm thrilled about our collaboration with Microsoft, especially given this insight from Daniel Keyvanpour:    "Virtual Days offer an accessible and flexible way for Microsoft to connect with a broader audience, including talents who might not be able to attend physical events. By reducing the barriers to communication and networking, Virtual Days open new avenues for candidates to get to know us and what we offer. Moreover, the digital format has streamlined our processes, allowing us to engage with more candidates in less time, saving both time and resources."    What’s your take on this? Is there anything else that is more important than satisfied customers? #customersuccess #entrepreneurship #careers #TalentAcquisition

You are only seven degrees of separation away from any stranger on earth. This means if you take everyone you know and everyone they know and go through that about seven times you are very loosely connected to anyone and everyone. The exact number is 6.6 degrees of separation according to a Microsoft study. This proven reality only gives you more of an incentive to network. This isn't me telling you to send mass text messages and DM everyone you know looking for them to make an introduction for you. ❌ It is to say if you are willing to... - connect with people - build genuine relationships - provide value people didn't ask for - go to those seemingly awkward events You can eventually gain access to the spider web-like network that covers the globe. 🌍 The connections are already there. Everyone knows everyone. You just need to prove your worth, provide value, and make the ask. Best of luck... #networking #networkingevent #sales #relationships

Did you know that Microsoft owns LinkedIn?

💖 My heart is full after hosting my first meetup! 💖 I’m happy to share a snapshot from our first gathering where 28 out of 30 tickets sold out, and 10 of us showed up in person. We had a candid discussion about the current job market—let’s face it, landing an interview and securing a job is tougher than ever. We exchanged valuable tips on how to enhance resumes and leverage networking to boost our chances. 📄🤝 We also delved into strategies for transitioning into product management from other roles, offering practical advice for those aiming to make a career shift. 📈💼 What truly made this event special for me was the opportunity to give back. I want to dedicate this first meet up to my incredible manager, Daysha. Watching her consistently give back to the community, no matter how busy she is, has been a huge inspiration for me. 💪🌟 This meetup took place during Microsoft Build, a time when I was already swamped with sessions and responsibilities. Yet, inspired by Daysha, I committed to giving back, regardless of my busy schedule. And I must say, it feels amazing! 🙌✨ #Community #Networking #ProductManagement #CareerGrowth #MicrosoftBuild #GivingBack
