Guest Bridget Bardge on Women Entrepreneurs - The Secrets of Success

Bridget Bardge will share her inspirational story of how she built her business from the ground up. Bridget is an independent insurance broker and a successful young entrepreneur. After working at various jobs over the years from office assistant to store management building sales for other business owners she still wanted to be her own boss. Yet since she hadn’t completed college her bosses told her she didn’t have the chops to run a business on her own. Then she got a job as a receptionist for an Insurance Agency. Without anyone asking her, she began sending referrals and leads to their other US offices. Regional Managers began noticing how much she helped increase their sales. Within two years as a receptionist she became the assistant to the CFO. She learned the insurance business from the operations standpoint of Processing, Licensing & Contracting, Commissions and Brokerage Department. She's learned that a diploma or degree doesn’t stop a person from succeeding.
