Business Resources

Linda Elliott recommends resources for doing business smarter. She knows that Elliott Connection thrives due to the relationships she has developed over many years. Contrary to what many may think, networking is not the answer to business development. You must develop strong and trusted relationships, and that takes work!

Recommendation for high performing service professionals
ProGrowth, based in Southern California, has a ProGrowth community in San Antonio and other major cities throughout the United States. It's all about exchanging networking for business building. The system is designed for high performing service professionals who depend upon relationships and referrals to grow their businesses. Top performers seek out other top performers who can refer them to clients they need to drive their businesses. And, it must be accomplished in a very strategic and purposeful manner. Time is precious. Networking takes time, and there are no guaranties that business will be generated. The ProGrowth system prevents us from wasting each other's time. "We accomplish more in less time and have the satisfaction of knowing that we will reap the rewards we deserve through our efforts."

What Linda has to say about ProGrowth:

"I've been presented multiple programs for growing business, but ProGrowth is the only program I've seen that really makes sense and represents all that I believe in. It causes members to be more purposeful and strategic in the way they do business. I've never joined any networking or leads organizations during my career, but I am a member of ProGrowth. It has become a valuable resource for me to offer more value to clients, colleagues, and friends."

Recommendation for companies and non-profits having revenues of $8MM+
Elliott Connection has a partnership relationship with American Express to introduce the Corporate Card program to qualified prospects. This particular program is not like a traditional credit card program. It serves as a free line of credit with no personal liability, and is for the sole purpose of paying monthly bills. Typically, some of the larger vendors are paid under this program. The cardholder then has 30+ days interest-free in which to pay American Express, while earning reward points which can be converted to cash. This program is not meant to replace another card program already in place, but rather to complement it.

What Linda has to say about the American Express Corporate Card program:

"This is the best program I have ever seen for conducting business in a much smarter fashion. In essence, you get paid for being a Corporate Card client! There is another benefit available to Corporate Card clients that I love. It's called Giving Express. Non-profits can create a new revenue source by converting their reward points to cash that can be distributed on a monthly basis. Companies can convert rewards points to cash for distribution to designated non-profits."

President & CEO, North San Antonio Chamber of Commerce

"Single mindedness, determination, dedication, self-belief and the inability to ever give in are what distinguish people who do great things with their lives from those whose dreams die with them. Linda is that rare individual who not only motivates, but inspires. Her practical, no-nonsense approach to how to maximize networking opportunities made me realize some important steps I could be taking that could enhance my career and I attribute many of my valuable new business contacts in San Antonio to the work of Linda. A savvy businesswoman who has grown her firm into one of San Antonio's leading marketing/public relations agencies, Linda has helped a wide variety of entrepreneurs, corporations and not-for-profit groups organizations develop and expand their businesses.

When it comes to women and networking, Linda Elliott does more than just 'talk the talk' about the value of networking for businesswomen. She's done something about it that few women can claim...and which continues to help hundreds of women across San Antonio. She speaks candidly, and with tremendous insight and experience, about topics of interest to women in all phases of their careers and is a living testimonial as to what truly great networking can do for businesswomen looking to bring their careers to the next level. Linda's expertise in networking and passion for what she does is contagious. Linda raised the bar in my networking skills, as well as the impact in my professional life."
