"That's me: a busy young business manager with a nose for bargains, a knack for organization, and an energetic son who deserves the best of everything. I am honored and thrilled to be recognized by the prestigious Stevie Awards organization. I feel that I have been moving forward in a right direction and provide the service visitors of my website would expect me to provide."

Potoupa continues, ?Customer Service has been and will always be my #1 priority and part of my strategy. I can not stress enough how important this factor is in running a successful business! What do customers want? Personal attention, timely replies to questions and concerns, simplicity of services/products, innovative tools (something nobody else can offer) ? I believe my site provides all of the above.?

Finalists were chosen by business professionals worldwide during preliminary judging. Members of the Awards' Board of Distinguished Judges & Advisors and their staffs select Stevie Award winners from among the Finalists during final judging.

?Being named a Finalist in The Stevie Awards for Women in Business is an important achievement,? said Michael Gallagher, president of the Stevie Awards. ?It means that independent business executives have agreed that the nominee is worthy of recognition. We congratulate all of the Finalists on their achievement and wish them well in the competition.?
