Workshop Overview: ConnectionMark Edge

Tagline: Focus. Clarity. Direction. Confidence.

The Executive Summary

ConnectionMark Edge is not just a seminar; it is a business transformation accelerator. In a landscape where 24% of businesses survive past 15 years, 49% survive past 5 years, 74% survive past 2 years, reliance on intuition alone is expensive. This workshop bridges the gap between the "dream" and "operations" by guiding entrepreneurs away from reactive choices and toward proactive decisions.

We don't just tell you what to do; we include you in the process so that you learn it for life. Whether you are a startup, in a growth phase, or navigating a transition, this program helps you find solutions to problems you don't even know exist yet.

The ConnectionMark Difference: "The Edge"

Most programs focus strictly on the mechanics of business. ConnectionMark Edge focuses on the connection between your data, your operations, and your human element.

• Radical Transparency: We curate a "safe space" where business owners can drop the facade of success and discuss real challenges, creating deep, meaningful connections rather than superficial networking,.

• The "Include Me" Methodology: Based on the proverb, "Tell me and I will forget, teach me and I may remember, include me and I will learn." We demand active participation to ensure retention and mastery.

• Data-Driven Confidence: We move beyond guessing. We utilize verified data sources to validate your market, ensuring you aren't just operating on hope, but on hard facts.

Core Curriculum Pillars

You cannot run a business if you do not know your numbers.
