Early Stages of a Generational Transition: Mother and Daughter share their story

JTeleconnections, or "JTel" has been in business for nearly 30 years. We had the pleasure of hosting two of the partners in the company, who happen to be family members. Mother and daughter team, Jody and Paige Weinberg joined us for this episode of Poised for Exit. We talked about how they are working toward Paige taking over the business in the future, and how Jody is delegating some of her work to her daughter, who's been with the business for 9 years. Paige acknowledged she has a lot to learn, but Jody says that Paige has come a long way since she first started. Jody also acknowledged that she is having a hard time letting go, and likely will 'work' for many years to come, even if she's not leading the charge. Her plans are not uncommon among other owners and founders, regardless of company size. As entrepreneurs, we tend to feed on the energy that growing and running a business provides. They shared how much they both love the work they do, and it's evident by how loyal their clients are and by how much their work of setting up meetings for professional leaders impacts their client's companies. To be clear, JTel is not a telemarketing firm, but acts as a right-hand person for C-Level leaders who need help setting up prospect meetings. JTel has become an expert at setting up "meetings you want". Find Paige and Jody here www.meetingsyouwant.com and learn about the special offer for our listeners only!Connect with Julie Keyes, Keyestrategies LLCFounder, Consultant, Author, Pod-caster and Instructor
