Kelly Business Advisors' 50-Yardline Tickets Go To... |
|
John and Kiely, Mergers & Acquisitions Advisors with Kelly Business Advisors, enjoyed exhibiting at the 5P Showcase and enjoyed the hype of the Packer/Bear ticket drawing, won by James Struble from EC03. John and Kiely told attendees how they help companies buy and sell. Yes, many of the conversations were with non-owners, but relationships must start somewhere, and what a great start. Kelly looks forward to continuing their journey to becoming a go-to resource for GBIG. |

Chase Bank published its 2023 Midyear Business Leaders Outlook. Optimism is up from January—but it’s far below pre-pandemic levels. Despite an uptick in optimism over the past six months, midsize business leaders in the United States are far less optimistic about the national economy now than they were in the years before the pandemic.
