entrepreneurs can work with major social media platforms to engage
with customers online and navigate online reviews.

struggle to effectively and economically utilize technology in
business,” said Elizabeth Schott, Accion San Diego’s executive
director. “We hope this year’s Round Robin will provide the
education necessary to help entrepreneurs navigate the many
technology options out there and effectively utilize these options
to grow their businesses.”
