Now is the right time for your organization to experience our seminar, Business Success in Tough Times. More than ever, businesses need some inspiration, some optimism -- some help to keep your business successful while others are floundering.

Our message: Others have faced tough times and done well -- and you can, too.

Business Success in Tough Times gives your organization the spark it needs today.

We examined hundreds of businesses that faced their own tough times and succeeded. When we looked at how they did it, we found nine strategies that were common to so many of their stories.

• Adaptability
• Collaboration
• Customer Service
• Diversification
• Growth
• Loyalty
• Niche Marketing
• Perseverance
• Planning

The seminar gives examples of each of the nine strategies, from companies large and small. Netflix, Edward Jones, and Hilton Hotels share the stage with a single-practitioner physician and a boarding school in rural Vermont. Industries across the board are represented, including a Silicon Valley software company and a nonprofit museum of art.

We can customize the program for you and add examples from your membership or business. The length of the seminar can range from one hour to three hours, and can be in a presentation or workshop format. With audio directly from the businesspeople interviewed, the stories come alive for the audience.

Your group will be inspired by Business Success in Tough Times and take away valuable strategies they can use immediately to help the business thrive no matter what the circumstances.
