Power Hour!

After spending over 20 years in Corporate America, negotiating tech contracts with Fortune 100 companies, earning over $1.4 billion in sales with clients in many different industries (yes, that is "B" for billion!), implementing processes to streamline and cut costs, and how NOT to treat a team, Janice "Jumped" out of the crazy corporate life and took her business acumen to the streets.

She began her sales career at Radio Shack as a sales associate and later transitioned into management. At the age of 19, she transformed stores, increased sales, and won several top-performing awards.

After the retail burnout, she transitioned to straight commission sales, selling cell phones when the plans were paid by the minute, and phones were as big and heavy as bricks. Staying in the technology space, she moved from selling phones to pagers and then onto semiconductors.

You can say she is the "hunter" type of salesperson.   Her success was achieved at a global semiconductor distributor, where she grew accounts from zero revenue to a book of business exceeding $1.4 billion in sales. She earned three seats in the President's Club and ranked in the top 5% in the nation. 

She "jumped" out of the crazy corporate life and used her business acumen to launch her first company from ground zero - Romp n Stomp. During that 14-year journey, Janice became bi-vocational, working for a training and coaching company that specialized in consulting for the family entertainment industry. There, she helped hire and train sales teams and coached business owners through implementing EOS into their companies.  Along with speaking at conferences around the US on how to increase sales through guest experience, the importance of leadership, and how to hire, train, and retain top talent, she would also share her insights. During that time, she developed a passion for helping business owners identify gaps in their operations, including areas such as ineffective communication and inadequate processes throughout their company.

In March 2019, she leveraged that experience to launch Get in Gear Business Solutions.  She became certified in DISC and delivered programs using EOS to her clients. 

In April 2021, she launched The Biz Hive, a boutique-style business center offering support services that assist busy professionals in outsourcing tasks from their to-do lists, renting co-share workspace, meeting space, virtual mailboxes, and hosting educational classes. 

In June 2022, with the overwhelming response to the launch of The Biz Hive, she decided  to combine both companies into The Biz Hive. 

In April 2024, the Biz Learning Lab was launched, delivering training to business owners and teams.  

In August 2024, the ShipIt Store was launching, partnering with FedEx and USPS to offer a truly one-stop solution for busy professionals and business owners.

Sales is not a job, it's a journey of helping people figure out their pain points and solving their problems with your products and services.

The most valuable lessons learned over the years:
1.) Have a plan and work that plan! Be ready to move to Plan B if needed!
2.) Build a strong team that has talents you do not have - regardless of their age!
3.) Trust until there is a reason not to!
4.) Protect your time! Don't let distractions steal your time from actions that will drive results!
5.) Only one touch to a task! If you are touching tasks in multiple steps, you are wasting time and money!
