Episode 15 Show Notes: Rookie to Pro - A Chat with Kim Elder
Welcome to the latest episode of the TC Exchange Podcast. I am so excited for this episode because today we have a very special guest who is the first of many in our new series “Rookie to Pro”. Now, the plan with this series, to give you a little heads up, is that we will be hosting this once a month, all year long to meet some transaction coordinators in the industry.
These TCs started at the very beginning as a real true beginner and they will share how they've grown their TC businesses into thriving companies! So today, we are chatting with our very first guest Kim Elder. Kim is from the Pacific Northwest, and she got into the business going on six years ago. She started as an in-house TC, and now has grown to not only one company, but has just recently opened a second division.
She is a wonderful solopreneur and a great mentor for her teams.
