IREON makes it happen with its “hands on” involvement.

We want to take this opportunity to extend our deepest gratitude to Alex Guttman from ACE Janitorial for his recommendation to become a member of IREON, to hold the exclusive cleaning service provider category on its membership roster.

Since joining the organization, Steve the CEO and his management team have been wonderful in setting up hand selected one on one meetings (zoom and teleconferences) with existing members.

The Bi-weekly Zoom Meetings and in person meet and mingle gatherings attended have been excellent. They have fast tracked us to become warmly and personally integrated into the group.

CBS was immediately publicized with us as its member representatives in the NYREJ, social media outlets (linkedIn and Twitter). All of IREONs efforts have shown positive results with industry recognition. We deel doors of new business opportunities are definitely being opened. IREON makes it happen with its “hands on” involvement. CBS looks forward to the financial reward from our time and investment.

The networking opportunities and access to industry experts have provided valuable insights and connections that have helped us grow our business.

As a growing IT and cybersecurity provider, our membership with IREON has been instrumental in improving our business development efforts.  The networking opportunities and access to industry experts have provided valuable insights and connections that have helped us grow our business.  In just 7 months, I personally have met with over 15 business leaders who I am confident will connect me with the proper resources to grow our business.

The IREON management team, Steve KirschnerTara Umstead, and Katie Gernon have been extremely supportive.  Their diligence and personal caring ensure every member’s success.  We are grateful for the support and resources provided by IREON, especially its social media platforms.

We look forward to continued success as a member of this very unique business development organization. The only regret I have is that smartIT did not join sooner!”
