We had the good fortune of connecting with Gerald Bass and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Gerald, maybe we can start at the very start – the idea – how did you come up with the idea for your business?
In 2015 I started a conference call called, “The Rise Of The O%E.” Every week I interviewed entrepreneurs and business owners that I felt were either rising into the top 1% or were already in the top 1%. I used to let people hop on weekly and listen to the interviews for free. After doing the calls for a while I decided I wanted to start a company and community called, “The Rise Of The O%E” and take my skillset of digital marketing and help entrepreneurs and business owners Rise Into The Top 1%. We launched October 3rd 2016.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
We work with Black Coaches, Consultants, Course Creators, & Service Based Businesses with packing their calendars with qualified appointments and scaling their business up to $20k-$50k+/mo in under 60 days without paid ads. I’m excited of the mission we have to create $1 Billion In Success Stories over the next 3 years or less.
Thus far we have many success stories of clients we have helped reach multiple 6 figures in their business.
Has it been easy? No. What keeps me pushing though is my faith in God, my team, and our mission of impact on entrepreneurs and business owners as a whole and our clients.

The lessons I’ve learned over the years is long as you stay intact spiritually, keep your health in tact physically and mentally, you continue to educate yourself, you have clear goals on what you are looking to accomplish, you take action day in and day out to accomplish those goals, and you focus on great service to others you can push through any obstacles or challenges that may come your way in business.

We treat our client’s businesses like our own.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If I had a best friend visit the city for a week I would take them to everything related to MLK Jr. downtown Atlanta. I would take them to Lenox or Perimeter mall for shopping.
I would take them to Pappadeaux to eat. I would take them to Blue Martini In Buckhead to hangout.
I would take them to Stone Mountain park. I would also take them to Truist park to go and see an Atlanta Braves games. For more fun I also will take them to Putt shack.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I want to shoutout Charliette Cummings The COO Of The Rise Of The O%E. Charliette started off as one of my clients some years ago, to eventually becoming apart of The Rise Of The O%E team helping out with different task, to rising up to becoming a great partner in business with me.
