Meet Angela
Angela Fowler is a popular speaker and consultant who shows organizations how to increase their bottom line by tapping into the $2.1 trillion buying power of people with disabilities. As a business woman who is also totally blind, she has a unique insight into what it takes for regular every-day businesses to tap into a market which they may not fully understand or readily think is available to them. With humor and straight talk tempered with patience, she shows organizations how to make the necessary adjustments, often with a lot less effort than they think, to be able to tap into this hidden buying market. One of Angela’s more popular presentations is “The Best Kept Secret for Increasing your Bottom Line,” which is always an audience favorite due to her plain speech and straight-forward nature.
Angela runs her speaking and consulting business from her home in Northern California, which she shares with her 18-year-old son, whose life seems to barely include her, her feisty kitten, who very clearly prefers her son, and her loving dog of indeterminate breed who thinks she’s God’s gift to doggie-kind and cannot get enough of her company. When she’s not working, she enjoys true crime, sports, and cooking the best tri-tip on God’s planet low and slow on the barbecue.

The Best Kept Secret for Increasing Your Bottom Line
Did you know that the buying power of people with disabilities is around 2.1 Trillion dollars? And as someone with multiple disabilities, I’m always amazed at the experiences of myself – and others like me – who regularly run into companies who, without meaning to, make it nearly impossible to buy their stuff…even though we have the means and desire to do it!
In other words, individuals in the disabled community (like myself), WANT to spend money on a given product or service.
Organizations WANT to increase their bottom line through additional purchases.
But due to barriers companies put in place without even knowing it, those two needs haven’t been able to consistently meet.
Which is why during this session I show individuals and leaders some relatively easy ideas on what they can do to effectively tap into that 2.1 Trillion dollar Market.
And the best part? Most of what I talk about doesn’t have to be as hard or expensive as many organizations seem to think.
So during this fast-paced, highly interactive session I show participants:
- The one barrier most holding your company back from tapping into that 2.1 trillion dollar market
- The true profit potential of breaking down that barrier
- Five simple things you can start doing today to begin breaking down this barrier
Who is this for?
- Small business owners,
- Corporate leaders and Managers
- Human resources personnel
