Business leaders can and should contribute to the common good. No one embodies this more than Jamie Dimon, Chairman & CEO of JPMorgan Chase & Co. Making opportunities available for all is logical, profitable and the right thing to do. He shared, “If you lift up communities, you help everyone. Lifting up Detroit helps America. It’s good for the overall economy.” In other words, businesses can do well by doing good. After all, long-term business success depends on community success. If you missed this conversation, tune in from The Female Quotient #EqualityLounge at #WEF24: https://lnkd.in/gfXNfc5J • Jamie Dimon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, JPMorgan Chase & Co. • Thelma Ferguson, Global Head, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion and Vice Chair, Commercial Banking, JPMorgan Chase & Co. • Judith Miller, Chief of Staff to the Chairman & CEO, JPMorgan Chase & Co.

if Black women-owned businesses — which currently generate $98.3 billion in revenue — eventually are able to achieve the average revenue of men, they would add an additional $1.5 trillion in revenue to the U.S. economy. While we’ve seen new mentorship and networking programs emerge, specialized grants and other services to help support the growth of women-owned businesses, we must continue to do more. https://lnkd.in/ese5_QaN #SmallBusiness #SmallBusinessEmpowerment #SmallBusinessAdvocacy #MRX #MarketResearch #MulticulturalResearch #WomeninResearch #Insights #BlackOwnedBusiness #MWBE

©GeBTL; Ending The Endless Cycle!     While businesses globally are still heavily investing funds, time, energy, and people in reaching out to the Potential Prospects or Clients, and or Meeting the Right People, either by presenting or visiting at the Trade Shows, and Public or Private Seminars, realistically & historically, are the ROIs supporting these notions as Business Prudent?! In other words, more than abiding by the Traditional & Outdated Marketing & Sales Strategy of "Just Being Present to showcase/promote the health of the business," what are the percentages that they realistically come across the Key Opportunities, and the Key Executives Decision-Makers and/or Right Direct Contacts?! So, while many businesses are yet to reach the realization, and or steer away from the Traditional Business Approaches of getting caught in the "Follow The Crowd Endless Cycle of Business Interaction & Communication;" since its inception in 2007, as the Only SINGLE Point of Right Contact, GeBTL.com is furnishing its carefully-selected, and fully-screened, and - validated Key Executive Members globally with Global Business Privilege of Selectivity, Privacy, Confidentiality, Multi-Level, and Direct Communication & Connectivity.
