First Class Communication, LLC., a public relations firm whose niche is education (we like to say we’re where education and communication conspire) will soon enter into its third year of business.
As any new business owner knows, the first few years are, well, a roller coaster. Times of high productivity are followed by lulls in projects and, thankfully, those are followed (though not soon enough, it always seems!) by new spurts of business.
We - founding partners Julie Johnson Holt and Dauphne Trenholm - have the Arkansas Women’s Business Center to thank for helping us navigate these choppy seas of new business ownership.
The AWBC has taught us how to visualize the clients we want (and then go after them successfully) as well as to get to the quick “no” when it’s just not a good fit. The AWBC has helped us build our business with new clients who seek our services on a project as well as an ongoing basis.
We still have a lot of room for growth and are working daily to reach our goals, but the support of the Arkansas Women’s Business Center has been nothing short of invaluable to First Class Communication’s.
