For Mike Dyer, Edward Jones, 2020 has been quite the year.

"This is a year in which I've had to adapt my business growth multiple times," Mike said. "My business plan for 2020 focused on door-to-door introductions and in-person seminars after moving my business back to Wheaton in January, but then the pandemic started soon after. I am thankful to share the most recent adaption of my business growth strategy with leveraging the business of another Wheaton Chamber member.

"I reached out to Sandy Skibinski at Money Mailer of Central DuPage whom I met with a few years prior, and she had also attended my grand opening ribbon-cutting Chamber event back in January of this year. We scheduled a meeting to discuss the various options she had to advertise in Wheaton. Her enthusiasm was refreshing, and the expectations she set for advertising felt realistic for my goals."

Mike and Sandy both are active in the Chamber--Mike is chairperson of the new Arts & Sports Tourism Committee and Sandy is a member of the Ambassadors Club. Both are participating in the "Fresh Ideas" Mentoring Program.

"I can say truly that Sandy has been a pleasure to work with since we started. Her advertisements are easy to customize on a monthly basis, and she has always been quick to respond to any questions I have. I plan to continue my work with her throughout 2021 and beyond, and have also encouraged other Edward Jones advisors in the surrounding areas to do the same!"

Thanks to Mike for sharing this Chamber Connections story. We look forward to hearing yours! Write us at the Wheaton Chamber.
