What makes DMH Entrepreneurial Edge different from any other
small business-training program?
The DMH Entrepreneurial Edge program was developed in the true sprit of entrepreneurship
by Denise Herbert, owner of DMH Public Relations & Communications as a way
to give back to entrepreneurs.
The idea behind the program is to ensure that people who are looking to start
a business or that have just started a business get the right information the
first time around and don’t fall into the hands of unqualified so called
business consultants that are only about the facilitators getting their money
or being provided with other “general advice” or “marketing
101” small business courses or programs that only tell people “what
to do” rather than showing them “how to do it”.
The reason that DMH PR developed the program was to provide a way for entrepreneurs
and new businesses to gain access to DMH PR's experience and expertise in a
cost effective way.
“Our mission is to provide a venue where people will get what they need
to start and build their businesses the right way the first time around. This
is our way of giving back to entrepreneurs in the spirit of entrepreneurship
and ensuring the success of the new businesses while having their best interests
at heart,” said Denise Herbert, President & CEO, DMH Public Relations
& Communications Inc.
