Every week we’ll be featuring a smart, savvy female entrepreneur we think is just great. These are women who are out there in the trenches each and every day, making things happen and affecting other people’s lives for the better. So pull up a comfy chair, grab a cup of coffee and meet this week’s SheBrand Superstar. We can all learn a golden nugget or two from each other.

1. What are three words that best describe your personal brand?
Empower. Inform. Support.
2. Tell us why you’re awesome in two sentences or less.
I’m a great listener who loves to learn and grow from others and the world around me; I’m playful, sensitive and caring, with a good amount of assertiveness to make things happen. I’m always there for my family and friends who know I’ve got their back.
3. What are your three biggest indulgences?
1) Watching Project Runway (including re-runs)
2) Eating Vanilla Swiss Almond Haagen-Daz Ice Cream (on occasion)
3) Sleeping in
4. What is your biggest pet peeve?
Getting bad customer service from customer service people.
5. If you could have dinner with anyone (living or not) who would it be and why?
Oprah Winfrey (I know, me and a million others). She is strong, authentic, successful and fun!
6. Why is having a powerful personal brand important to you?
A powerful brand communicates clearly who we are, what we do, and what experience/service/solution we are providing. It demonstrates credibility and professionalism, and differentiates us in our industry to make us stand out.
7. What is your #1 marketing tip for fellow female entrepreneurs?
My #1 marketing tip is to make time each week to connect with people (ideally by phone or in person) with the intention of being of service, while growing your business; and always remember to follow-up.
Margalit is amazing! She supported us in our premiere event of The Biz Panel & it’s always a pleasure to bump into her at entrepreneur events around Los Angeles. Good choice SheBrand!
Scott and Rebecca, I couldn’t agree with both of you more! 🙂
Thanks Rebecca! I truly enjoyed and benefited from your Biz Panel event, and was happy to support and share the brilliant work all of you do!
I’m proud to call Margalit my friend, so I’m happy to see her featured here!
I feel the same way, thanks Scott!
Margalit is the perfect, female entrepreneur to be featured in “Shebrand Superstar” because she is just that… a Superstar “business coach”!!! I am successfully using many of the tools I learned in our sessions from over two years ago. She is wonderful about reminding me of how I can continue to use and implement them in other creative and productive ways.
