The Connection Exchange Story
Cara Owings and Jennifer Schenck started The Connection Exchange in Columbia, Missouri in 2015 with an entrepreneurial desire to create mutually beneficial connections within their local community as well as a desire to be actively engaged moms.
These women are entrepreneurial minded, professional networkers (“Connectors”) with career backgrounds in marketing, advertising, sales, and small business operations and management. They saw an opportunity to leverage their combined passions and created a unique and valuable business model that could be duplicated in communities across the country. The Connection Exchange is based on their passions of:
-
Entrepreneurship, business growth and economic development
-
Mentoring, connecting and collaboration with colleagues and vendors on a local level
-
Putting the personal relationship back into the sales process versus just a transaction
The Connection Exchange mission statement and vision:
Better communities through better connections
The Connection Exchange mission is to create mutually beneficial connections between consumers and the local providers of the products and services they need, to impact the growth of our communities.
