We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Stacey & Shannon. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Stacey & Shannon below.
Stacey & Shannon, appreciate you joining us today. What was it like going from idea to execution? Can you share some of the backstory and some of the major steps or milestones?
We met in the residential real estate world. We were both looking for the right networking group. We tried local chambers, real estate groups and nothing was hitting for us. So logically….we decided to start our own! Turn Key Women was born August 2022 as a place where women in Real Estate could come together to collaborate and grow their businesses. As the months went on and we were hosting our events more and more women outside of Real Estate were showing up and loving what we were building. We ultimately made the decision to pivot our focus on women in Real Estate and call for all women in business to join our community. Since then we have hosted dozens of events, started a podcast, created a social media management company called Turn Key Media Group and started a mentorship program for young girl entrepreneurs.
Stacey & Shannon, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
Shannon and I both began in the residential Real Estate world where we made many connections. We both love connecting with people and bringing people together. It’s such a great moment when you realize that 2 people you connected are hitting it off and helping each other’s business grow!
We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?
We don’t think we actually “built and audience”. A more accurate description would be that we created a community of like minded women based on who we were looking to surround ourselves with, both personally and professionally. Now we use our social platforms and our influence to help promote female run businesses. We have had steady, local, organic growth in social media which in turn has created a strong online community of women in business.
What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?
Keeping it real. We really make an effort to be unapologetically human- flaws and all. We love putting female business owners on a pedestal that they often don’t put themselves on. It’s our mission to tell their stories and help them grow!
