Girls Inc teens participating in the Women’s History Project, along with their staff and board members, named 14 women who have changed Chattanooga.  In the spirit of Shirley Chisom, the first African American woman to run for president of the United States, the award models Ms. Chisholm declaration of herself as a representative of all people and made a commitment to serve as a leader who would remain “unbought and unbossed. 

Sisters In Business Founder and Owner Tekelia Cassaundra (Crutcher) Kelly was one of those honored with the "2007 Unbought and  Unbossed" Award.  Zsa Zsa Perryman, Assistant Account Executive of Waterhouse Public Relations and Coordinator for the Girls Inc Women History Team spoke during the event about the girls' journey for choosing women they desired to see receive the award.  In the process of conducting their research, the girls indicated how they thought all nominees would be found in Google.  A notion that was brought into alignment as Ms. Perryman guided the young women to "rediscover paper-based

 

research".  The technology-savvy, business-leadership quality girls took information gathered from the library and developed a MySpace page for their award winners.  The MySpace page highlighted each honoree and was projected as a sidebar throughout the ceremony.  The girls' product made for a very professional-looking presentation, and great example of how such a online medium can be used for education and presentation. 

 

Upon acceptance of her award, Tekelia Kelly acknowledged and thanked her "smart, strong, and bold" Girls Inc teen awarder Jamecia Love, who also attends Boyd Buchanan School.  She explained how delighted she was to learn from Jamecia while doing their email interview that Jamecia had attended Tekelia Kelly's CHIPS Computer Camp program about eight years ago as a 3rd Grader.

Why Getting in Google & Other Search Engines Good for Business With Zsa Zsa Perryman

Why Getting in Google (or any Search Engine) can be good for your business, and networking.

“At Waterhouse Public Relations one of the first things we do when we evaluate a client is look at their Web site.  If you’re not present on the Internet, then you may as well not exist. Your Web site should be a direct reflection of the message your company wants the rest of the world to know. If it’s not, then you’re turning away potential customers. Who cares what you have to offer if you do not know how to offer it the correct way?”  

 

Quote by Zsa Zsa Perryman

People are online searching for business, products, services all the time, locally, nationally, and even worldwide. Being searchable and findable on the world wide web is vitally important for business today, as people use the internet, email, and search engines like Google.  Even the teen girls in the Girls Inc Women History Team project noted how they expected to find and conduct research on all their nominated honorees on the internet via a search engine like Google, as explained by Zsa Zsa Perryman, Coordinator of the Girls Inc Women History Team.

Having a website is great and essential, and is now expected for businesses today. However, though it's great to have a company website, if no one can find you and your website, your efforts are in vain.  At Sisters In Business, we promote and advise our clientele to have their own company website, in addition to having a business webpage and directory listing inside our business network.  Being in the Sisters In Business Network is like having a storefront in our mall, where there is ongoing internet traffic, or visitors, 365 days a year 24-7 a day.  Our strategy is then "link" this dynamic traffic to our clients and partners company websites. 

Sisters In Business is a internet-based networking and advertising company.  We helps people find you and your business using our Search Engine Optimized (SEO) company website.  This has yielded an excellent track record for our website and members in the network.  he search engines for most relevant searches.  We have very proven results of placing our clients' and partners and their websites/webpages in search engines like Google, Yahoo, Dogpile, Goodsearch, and more for most relevant searches. 

Google has become known as the most used, most powerful search engine and advertising platforms on the internet.  Having a website and one that can be found is the order of the day...and "we can get you in Google", with a significant ranking in most instances.  It is important for anyone doing business today to have a email address, website, webpage, and/or some kind of findable presence on the internet.  Sisters In Business "can get you in Google"...as well as any other major search engine to help you brand, build, and broadcast your business.
