Sherri Silva’s business is, The Finishing Touch. “I started my business to collaborate, envision, and create inspiring spaces that uplift and delight within the reach of a reasonable budget. I also love to decorate tables for events and add the flare of decor to any season you may celebrate. Whether you need a clever shuffle of what you already have or a total room make-over or remodel, I love to bring the ‘welcome’ back to your home or office.”

A tip for Members is: “Be authentic with your clients. This means being a good listener and putting a client’s desires and needs above your own. For my design business, this sometimes means decorating in a style that I don’t necessarily prefer or may even be off trend. Neither of those things matter if it is what the client loves. For me, I remind myself, ‘this is their space, not mine.’ I’m just fortunate enough to be asked to help.”

Leads Club has positively impacted her business by “completely growing it. I started with an idea and a name and the rest grew from the gals in my club that had enough confidence and trust in me, and to refer me over and over. I have many repeat clients and those that hire me just to decorate for the holiday seasons.”

Betsy Kohler-Flores is a Chapter Consultant in San Diego, CA Region and works with ReachLocal, Inc. which is an award-winning company and part of the USA TODAY NETWORK. We help businesses acquire, manage, and retain customers with online digital marketing and best-in-class service.

One tip she would give a Member would be: “I just presented regarding COVID-19 and running your business during these times. I would say increase your digital “footprint” since that’s where everyone is right now during the social distancing initiative. Work on keeping your social media channels current full of content, photos and possible offers. Be a “consultant” to your audience, and they will keep you in mind for their next purchase.”

Leads Club has positively impacted her by having been “in my life for several decades. In this era of “digital” meetings, it’s been outstanding for me to keep the face-to-face contact and be a part of a networking community that has been around for many years, with proven results. Consistent speaking engagements have helped me improve my communication skills both within my company and with customers.”
