2021 VR Women’s Summit – Recognition: The Key to Success in Business and in Life with Audrey Leeds Miller

If you want to have more fun at work and at home, create a company that your competition cannot compete with, build employee, customer, and owner loyalty like you have never seen before, and build influence that may even get your husband to turn off the TV and the kids to get off their iPads. Well, maybe that’s pushing it a little, but this session is for all who want better communication with those around them. Recognition creates a positive culture and opens doors to communication amongst those that may not always see eye to eye. By developing a way to recognize those around you, you increase your influence and ultimately your happiness and success.

Audrey Leeds Miller, Co-Founder/Director, Cottage Connection of Maine

In 1992, Audrey had a background in sales and marketing and her husband Jeff in real estate. They realized that vacation rentals were not highly valued by real estate offices and thought that a company devoted exclusively to vacation rentals would be a good thing for the Boothbay Region. In 1993 they founded Boothbay Cottage Connection, Inc. starting with 15 houses in 1993, and by 2001, the business had grown to over 150 rental properties. Today, they focus on quality, not quantity, and working with property owners that share the same hospitality mindset. Cottage Connection is exclusively dedicated to vacation rentals. Audrey is a founder of, and on the Board of Directors, of the Northeast Vacation Rental Professionals (NEVRP).

More about Cottage Connection of Maine: Cottage Connection is one of Maine’s most respected vacation rental companies. They partner with property owners that count on them to manage their rentals. Locally-owned and operated since 1993, Cottage Connection offers just under 100 vacation homes, in all sizes: lakefront and oceanfront, from camps to castles, up and down the mid-coast of Maine. They strive to provide comfort in their homes, quality in service and communication, knowledge of their area and homes, and respect for everyone.
