Voices - Episode 7: Elizabeth Riley

Elizabeth Riley is one of the most well connected people I know.  She knows how to network; she knows people; and she knows what it takes to run a small business.  Elizabeth and her husband Michael own the West Carrollton based business, Insignia Signs.

In a time and place where the business climate is difficult at best, Elizabeth’s business is enjoying continued growth, largely due to her hard work as a sales professional and her husband’s expertise in the sign business.

In this episode of Voices, I speak with Elizabeth about her secrets for running a successful small business, her involvement in the community, some of trends in her industry, and her outlook on the future of Dayton and the Miami Valley.

Elizabeth and Michael are a great example to two young people who are making things happen in the community.  They prove everyday that “hustle” is a valid and effective strategy for growth.   Thanks to Elizabeth for taking the time to do the podcast.   It was a pleasure.

Signs, Signs, Everywhere Signs

What a treat to my friend Elizabeth Riley and her husband Mike, owners of Insignia Signs, featured in the business section of the Dayton Daily News. I actually saw Elizabeth this morning at an event where I was speaking about blogging, business, and brand you. She had invited me to address her BNI group on the topic - which I enjoyed tremendously. (Thanks to everyone who attended. You were a great audience.) I am delighted to see her in the paper, and to see her company thriving. Insignia does great work. I can attest to that first hand, having employed them to develop signs for several Clients. Elizabeth is a networking dynamo, who is always looking to make connections and help out the people she knows. It is no surprise to see Insignia enjoying such rapid growth and success. It is well deserved. And you thought the DDN only reported negative stories…
