  • Inspiring employees to work towards the critical priorities and creating an environment where employees want to contribute their best efforts

Testimonials:

Our business had become stagnant. The tools gave me an easy turn-key system to launch into a new market. We are successfully executing the plan and I now can hold my sales team accountable. It is amazing the impact a few hours with the SBDC can do to accelerate my sales efforts.

Jess Neisess, C.R International

The SBDC's Strategic Growth System not only expedited my business growth, but it also helped solidify creating the life I want. Without the guidance and encouragement provided by others who have already walked this journey, how could you sustain your journey? Join me on INC. Magazine's 5,000 Fastest Growing Companies in America.

Karen Barbour, Owner Barbour Group

I have seen a significant improvement in new account acquisitions as well as repeat business, all because of the SBDC's "Drive 5 to Earn More" approach to accelerate profits. Sales are up by nearly 100% within the last 12 months. I sure hope my competition does not learn about this simple tactic.

Harry White, Owner BW Communications

POWERFUL AND INSPIRING! The principals presented by the SBDC have been key to improving our restaurant's bottom line.

Kamal & Nizam Ali, Owners Ben's Chili Bowl / Ben's Next Door

I have participated in several peer groups in the past, and this has far surpassed those in both the participants as well as the facilitator
