A note from Najaah, Founder of The Pivot
Happy Sunday Atlanta!
One of the things I love about Dre’s newsletter is that it gives you a reason to get out, meet people, and stumble into rooms you might not have found on your own.
And honestly, that’s where a lot of possibility starts. You hear about a career, business, skill, or path you hadn’t seriously considered and think…could that be for me?
That curiosity is exactly what The Pivot is built for.
We’re creating a community where professionals can get closer to the people, information, lived experience and actual work behind the paths they’re exploring so they can decide what actually makes sense for them.
So as you work your way through Andre’s list of events this week, be a little professionally nosy! Follow the interesting conversations. Ask the extra question.
And if something sparks your curiosity, come find us this fall by joining the interest list at MeetThePivot.com.
See you in the room soon,
Naj

Stop losing sales to disorganization and start growing
If your customer relationships live in your inbox, a spreadsheet, a stack of sticky notes, and your own memory, you already know how much falls through the cracks. Missed follow-ups. Forgotten promises. Deals that quietly die because nobody remembered to send the next email.
3X your revenue with a CRM is a live Monthly Masterclass session from Robinson Productions, built for small business owners who are ready to put their revenue on a system instead of relying on memory.
What we're covering:
❓ Why your business needs a CRM
💡 The CRM solutions we recommend
🔍 What features actually matter
💰 How to turn your CRM into revenue
This session is hosted live by Ceci Robinson, founder of Robinson Productions, with JyMae Saulsberry running the session and answering questions in real time.
Grab your seat, bring your questions, and walk away with a clear plan for turning your customer data into revenue.
