Brand Building for Start-Ups: How to Find Your People and Watch Your Sales Soar

    When it comes to the financial side of your entrepreneurship journey, have you ever felt that go-getter, “I can do anything” entrepreneurial spirit stifled by a banker who made you feel less than what you are? We’ve heard that a lot and are committed to doing things different. At Village Bank we understand entrepreneurs are experts at their business while we are experts at banking. It’s our job to educate business owners and help them on their financial journey. If you’re not already financially savvy we’ll get you there. Join us for “Coffee With Your Banker” on September 25 where we will talk with entrepreneur Erin Newkirk and Village Bank President, Aleesha Webb. They’ll talk brand building, finding your audience, growing sales and the things you should be thinking about from a financial perspective along the way. Plus, you’ll have time to ask the financial questions you wish you knew the answer too. Chances are someone else wants to know too.   About the speakers: Aleesha Webb – Village Bank President & Vice Chairwoman of the Board At her core, Aleesha Webb is a village builder, continually striving to create life-long connections with her clients, customers and community. She adds true value to relationships by determining the right solutions for individual needs, watching out for their best interests, and offering authentic, high-touch customer service.

While other community banks are being purchased by national banks, Aleesha is recommitting to Village Bank’s mission of serving its communities, and focusing on economic stability. The deeply-rooted difference that makes Village Bank matter to all customers is the genuine community bank approach that comes from being family-owned and operated.
