"Entrepreneurs are a different breed and the space we move in is dominated by sheer persistence, innovation, ambition and utter passion." ~ Karen Wessels
Without realising it, Karen described herself with this quote, being a prominent female entrepreneur in South Africa. She comes from a strong sales background and showed the first signs of entrepreneurship shortly after she realised her passion for sales.
She was one of the “founding mothers” of Virtual Assistants in South Africa back in 2008, and grew her VA business to one of the largest Virtual Assistant agencies in South Africa. She founded a number of companies since then. Indicative of her personality all her companies are service related. Her two biggest drivers to all her customers are service and value.
To date one of her biggest achievements has been the founding of SnappSales, a highly sought after marketing agency that focusses on finding quality sales leads for its clients.
Her biggest successes come from the valuable lessons she learned in her sales career - persistence, follow up and follow through.

KATHRYN MAIN
Kathryn Main | Managing Director at Main MultiMedia
Quirky, determined, unique, dedicated, passionate, skilled, visionary and masterful are just some of the words that describe Kathryn Main, Managing director of Mainmultimedia and Money Savvy Kids.
A true entrepreneur, Kathryn started her first business in the beauty industry at the age of 22, with little more than a combination of dedication, determination and passion. After leaving the beauty industry to embark on a career in sales and marketing, Kathryn quickly climbed the corporate ladder and within two years was promoted to National Sales Manager for Sawubona magazine.
This invaluable experience in the advertising sales industry, saw Kathryn move into a full service advertising agency where she worked in TV, Radio, Print, Mobile and Digital media. With Kathryn’s expert project management skills and vision for award-winning work she spearheaded teams on campaigns across the country.
With her understanding of what makes for a winning campaign, Kathryn started her own full service agency in 2010 which has successfully piqued the interest of many in the industry with its ability to deliver exceptional campaigns that deliver long-term brand solutions. With experience working on top brands such as Jaguar, Landrover, Vodacom, Converse, Skye distribution, Arthur Kaplan, Africa Innovation Foundation, Mainmultimedia prides itself on overall delivery that many should, could and probably will write home about.
As both visionary and pioneer at the helm of Mainmultimedia, Kathryn’s sharp mind, knack for tactical solutions and a solid 12 years of hands-on experience in advertising, sales and marketing make her a formidable entrepreneur you want on your side. Her success in project management and ability to build relationships and networks has created a bright future for Mainmultimedia media and now Moneysavvykids.
