WBC's Peer-to-Peer Roundtables
WBC's peer-to-peer mentoring roundtable program is recognized as one of our premier business development programs. These fee-based roundtables are facilitated by highly-qualified, experienced facilitators. Participants, limited to 10 women per roundtable, meet for three hours monthly for:
- Guidance on understanding financial statements
- Assistance with developing a strategic marketing plan
- Understanding staffing needs and issues
- Sales growth strategies
- Creating and keeping good customer relationships
Topics addressed include organization, marketing, public relations, cash flow, employees and strategic planning among others. Participants are grouped with non-competing companies outside their industry by:
- Size of business (revenues and employees)
- Length of time in business
- Growth goals
Our goal is for women business owners to come in with issues and concerns, and leave with clear and practical ideas and solutions.

Roundtable testimonial:
"Joining the mentoring roundtable at the Kansas Women's Business Center immediately provided me with resources I could not imagine. Six women business owners bringing six business experiences and expertise to share in one room. We share our growth strategies and company improvement ideas once a month for three hours, and there is more information in those three hours than I could ever obtain on my own. Measurable growth strategies for my company using our shared pool of information is one of my goals. The friendship and exchange are immeasurable."
