Dream Big Grow Here
Dream Big Grow Here makes conducting a business grant program for your state or region exceedingly simple. Administrators or regional hosts can enter contest information from the backend, track votes, and select a winner. Once the application period is open, users can submit their dream directly on the site. Our social technology integration is used to capture and secure votes, and all contest dates and times directly interact with what is viewable to the public.
Dream Big Grow Here is turn-key and able to host multiple industry specific and/or geographically defined contests simultaneously. We provide a fast, secure, and fun learning experience for owners. Our back-end administration is also amazingly simple, and you’ll love all the places you can insert contest sponsors’ branding on the site.
Business Concierge
The Business Concierge offers an easy to navigate front end where entrepreneurs can access free market intelligence and referrals via email, phone, or through an online form. The backend client relationship management (CRM) software has built-in reporting, a client email interface, a resource library, and dovetails with Connections (our searchable service provider database) to insure high quality connections are able to made with entrepreneur clients. Best of all, the Business Concierge is plug-and-play. It can be embedded into any website instantly- no new web portal required!
Connections
Connections takes key information about your program, organization, and staff expertise and posits it into an interactive database that does more than ‘list stuff’. Your service providers share their data and expertise one time, then have the ability to easily update and change it whenever they need to.
The Connections technology is a separate user interface from your website, but still easily connected via a link or screenshot. Once you use connections, you will see just how robust and interactive this full screen technology is for the entrepreneur. Easily search by county, person, program, organization, zoom, map click, or filter and see full contact details. Getting to the resource needed is now easier than ever.
Let us show you how to build and maintain this amazing database. With user login, each service provider added can access the backend and update their own organization, programs, and people. Easily find referral resources when entrepreneurs contact you directly. Used more often than not in conjunction with the Business Concierge, the backend of Connections is in the same place as the backend of the Business Concierge so you can make your high-quality referrals or provide services and track your client interactions in one place.
Webinars
With our University of Northern Iowa roots, we understand online learning and adult education. We leverage the best technologies available to showcase live, interactive, business seminars online.
With our software, webinar guests can chat, ask questions, and comment directly with the presenter and moderator during each live presentation. Our staff moderates each webinar to ensure quality sound and video is displayed. We also provide technical support, so that from start to finish, all of the logistics are covered for you. Following each online presentation, we survey attendees and solicit their feedback for comments, suggestions, and overall satisfaction.
Every webinar presented is archived and easily accessed. Link out to these via your own website, while we provide all of the content. See an example of how this is done on the IASourceLink site for Iowa.
