Join the HOST! Committee
Spark & Hustle draws on community and builds camaraderie unlike any other conference series. The attendees Tory Johnson attracts to her events are a rare breed. Yes, they’re serious about small business and they’re eager to expand their influence and boost their bottom line. But there’s a whole lot more. These are kind, curious, nice, fun, quirky, candid, determined, loyal, big-hearted, really good women—plus a handful of great men. They’re the people you want to hang out with and do business with. You don’t find that everywhere.

If this describes people you know, then we’d love for you to join the Spark & Hustle Host Committee and become a part of Tory’s Team at the event in your area.

It’s pretty simple: register yourself for at least one event and then refer registrants by reaching out to the people you know and believe would benefit from attending. (We’ll gladly send you tips on how to easily accomplish this.)

As a token of our appreciation, we’ve created a sensational benefits package to honor your support.

If you’re interested and ready to rock, please send an email to host@sparkandhustle.com letting us know which event(s) you’ve registered for and include your name, email, phone, location, a bit about you personally and professionally. Also tell us why you’re an ideal Spark & Hustle host to join Tory’s Top 20. You’ll hear back within 24 hours tops.

MUSCLE MARKETING
Sandy Pearson, owner and founder of B.I.C. Bands
Sandy, a half-marathon runner and a mother of two in Inland Empire, CA started the business by making non-slip, no-headache, washable headbands for herself to wear while exercising. She went to school to be a teacher but became a stay-at-home mom. Then B.I.C. Bands happened. She made headbands that didn’t slip, and her friends said they’d buy them, so she started sewing and her little venture began. Because B.I.C. Bands were such a hit she decided to continue making and selling the bands and to give back to those in need. @BICBands
