Each month, Mocha Biz Loudoun selects a business to be recognized on our web site and social media pages. It gives our patrons an opportunity to get to know our member businesses a little better and gives the business an opportunity to share their story. This month, our spotlight is on WBIS International and owner Sheila Dixon
Mocha Biz Loudoun: Ms. Dixon, Tell us about your background and your decision to start WBIS International
Sheila Dixon:
I was a Corporate Executive in the retail industry. During my second pregnancy I was on bed rest for duration of term. During that time, I remained connected to vendors who were trying to promote their products to the retail chain. I began building operation systems and processes to help them run their business and be accountable for their time.
After the successful pregnancy, I wanted to maintain my business skill sets in between the mommy-groups. I met a few women who were entrepreneurs and wanted to learn about business concepts and marketing their products and services. We met monthly and built a women’s professional network,WBIS. The network grew to 3 chapters in the Northern VA area where we promoted and worked together to bring ideas to action. Life happens. Baby number 3 arrived and I needed to switch gears and build private consulting clients.
I focus my attention to assist business owners in the areas of:
Community Engagement
Business Growth Strategies
e-Marketing Development
e-Learning Advisor Accountability where I coach business owners interested in e-mail marketing, sales, customer service & women’s leadership
IT Cloud Development & Infrastructure
The women’s group is now rebranded to : WBIS NetGIVING Foundation (Donor advised Fund of United Charitable Programs, a 501(c)(3), 509(a)(1) public charity (Tax ID# 20-4286082)
