Black Women Sell Live Opens in Downtown Atlanta as ATL Now Covers Three-Day Event

NEWS & ENTERTAINMENT

ATLANTA — Black Women Sell Live® opened today at the Omni Atlanta Hotel, bringing entrepreneurs together for three days focused on sales, business growth and building connections. ATL Now is covering the event as it runs through Sunday, September 27.

A weekend focused on business growth

Created by entrepreneur and speaker Ashley Kirkwood, the event is designed for Black women who sell services. Its program puts practical sales work at the center of the weekend: finding prospective clients on Friday, exploring ways to sell professional services on Saturday, and developing sales, marketing and operations plans on Sunday.

Kirkwood, founder of Speak Your Way To Cash®, has built her work around helping professionals communicate the value of their expertise and win business. Ahead of the event, she said every seat at the Omni had been claimed.

ATL Now on the scene

For attendees, the weekend offers time to learn, put ideas into practice and meet other business owners facing similar questions about growth. For Atlanta, it brings those conversations together downtown. ATL Now will continue sharing scenes and stories from Black Women Sell Live as the event unfolds.
