Today we’d like to introduce you to Wendy Smith.
Hi Wendy, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start, maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers.
My journey has been an exciting adventure fueled by my passion for sales, marketing, and connecting with people. It all began in the hospitality industry, where I cut my teeth working for prestigious brands like Marriott, Hilton, W, and Sheraton. Over 25 years, I climbed the ranks from the front desk to regional sales and marketing roles, gaining invaluable experience in new builds and transitions.
Feeling the entrepreneurial itch, I ventured into the fashion world with My Shoe Diva, a shoe company where I combined my love for talking and fashion by hosting shoe parties. It was a hit, and I traveled around Atlanta in a beautiful truck, spreading the joy of shoes. But after a decade, I felt it was time for a change. Moving boxes and loading trucks were tasks better suited for younger individuals, so I decided to pivot once again.
With marketing being another passion of mine, I founded LevelUp Social, leveraging my sales skills and entrepreneurial spirit to serve clients one at a time. As the business grew, I realized the importance of building a dream team to bring our vision to life. Together, we are the digital disruptors of LevelUp Social, empowering businesses to thrive in the digital age.
My journey is a testament to the power of following your passions, embracing change, and never shying away from new opportunities. From hospitality to founding LevelUp Social, each chapter has been marked by growth, learning, and a relentless drive to make a difference in the lives of others.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Navigating the path to success has definitely been a journey filled with obstacles and challenges. Initially, despite receiving positive feedback and interest from potential clients, I faced the frustration of long delays in finalizing contracts, leading to financial strain and moments of doubt about my abilities.
However, just when I was on the brink of giving up, a breakthrough came. My very first sales call, which seemed like a distant memory, suddenly materialized into a signed agreement and a check in the mail. This pivotal moment reignited my determination and reaffirmed my belief in my capabilities.
Since then, while there have been ongoing challenges, I’ve approached them with unwavering dedication and a commitment to excellence. Every setback has only fueled my resolve to push forward and deliver exceptional results. At LevelUp Social, we continually strive to surpass expectations because I firmly believe that what you give is ultimately what you receive.
While the road may not always be smooth, it’s the resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity that has propelled me forward. Each hurdle has been a learning opportunity, shaping me into a stronger entrepreneur and leader. With a team that shares my unwavering dedication, I am confident that together, we can overcome any obstacle and continue to elevate our agency to new heights.

What does success mean to you?
Success, to me, is a deeply personal and subjective concept. It’s not merely about external achievements or material possessions but rather about the sense of fulfillment and satisfaction that comes from knowing you’ve lived authentically and pursued your passions with unwavering dedication.
For me, success is about the feeling of contentment and peace that washes over me when I reflect on my day, knowing that I’ve poured my heart and soul into everything I do. It’s about embracing challenges, pushing beyond my limits, and never settling for mediocrity.
Ultimately, success is about living with purpose, integrity, and resilience. It’s about striving to be the best version of myself and making a positive impact on the lives of others. Most importantly, it’s about finding joy and fulfillment in the journey rather than fixating solely on the destination.
In essence, success is not just about what you achieve but how you feel along the way – and for me, that feeling of fulfillment and knowing that I’ve given my all is the true measure of success.
