NASHUA, N.H., March 22, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The BuyItLive technology completely reimagines the social commerce customer journey and checkout flow, resulting in massive increases in social engagement and significant improvement in sales conversions. Customers interact, shop & donate through live video, pre-recorded video and social posts across Facebook, YouTube and Instagram with additional social experiences in development.

The transaction is part of a larger comprehensive deal, between three visionary organizations - BuyItLive, Women's Leadership LIVE (WLL) and SLC Group Holdings. The three groups are aligning their offerings to give small and medium size businesses the edge they seek in a world of ecommerce titans.

Stacey Schieffelin, one of the founders of WLL enthuses, "BuyItLive is the next big, big thing in social commerce. Today's most valuable companies are successful in building and managing platforms: digitized, open and participative business models that create connected ecosystems of producers, influencers and consumers." Debbie Saviano, another WLL founder offered, "BuyItLive is an immediate and direct way for brands and individuals to convert social ROI (Return on Influence). It completes the convergence of engagement and commerce on social."

BuyItLive is equally eager about the new partnership.

"For us Sandy and her team at SLC Group are the perfect strategic fit," said Meghan Stubbs, co-CEO (with her co-founder husband and programmer/inventor Brett). "Sandy understands the heart and the mind of the small business entrepreneur. She fully grasps the grit and sticktoitiveness required to be successful. She gets it!"

Meghan continues, "Most of our customers are small businesses too. We quickly recognized that Sandy wasn't looking at her investment in BuyItLive as just another investment. She is someone who wants to amplify her impact and help thousands of entrepreneurs. It's in her DNA, and we love it."

Together, BuyItLive, WLL and SLC Group are developing a full suite of solutions and services, where entrepreneurs and their companies can receive live sales training, social commerce education, small business lending and investment, all while being equipped with the BuyItLive technological toolset and cart system to realize their goals for growth and revenue.
