Krista Walsh was a failure. At twenty years old she had been fired three times in six months from her career as a dental assistant. As she had to re-evaluate her career path (and face unemployment), Krista moved back home with her parents to work in her family's home heating business.
Driven by the fear of failure, she studied and researched account receivable strategies and policies. In 2007 Walsh became the first Canadian graduate of the International Center for Collection Professionals which aided her when she opened the doors of her own credit and resource company "KC Collect!", the first and only woman owned collection agency in Atlantic Canada.
Today Krista is a multifaceted entrepreneur, author and speaker with businesses spanning from debt collection to fitness. She has been named an Emerging Leader for Atlantic Canada (twice), Chamber of Commerce's Entrepreneur of the Year, Canada Association of Professional Speaker's Rising Star and has developed into one of Canada's leading entrepreneurs.
Her breakout sessions will assist you in navigating the practical tools you can implement immediately to:
• Increase sales and productivity
• Enhance and build relationships
• Strengthen and increase cash flow
Krista's determination and vision has been recognized by her peers and she has twice received the Atlantic Canadian Emerging Award as one of Canada's leading young entrepreneurs.
