Creating a Destination Business
Creating a Destination Business
Learn the “New Rules” that every small business must start using to become a uniquely positioned destination capable of pulling in customers from hundreds of miles away!
Join professional speaker Jon Schallert in discovering how to reinvent your small business into a "Consumer Destination”. What is a Destination Business? A business so compellingly different that when consumers hear about it, they say: “I have to go to that place!”
Location is no longer the primary factor to the success of a small business. Instead building a consumer-oriented business is the key to becoming the only option a customer will consider. Whether you are a retail store, restaurant, service business, or professional practice, you will be inspired by true-life business success stories. The stories of entrepreneurs turning their dream into a vibrant local business that helped their community thrive.
Jon Schallert's trademarked 14-point process was developed from over 10,000 business owner interviews and nearly 30 years of experiment. Join us to discover the strategies and tactics that can turn your business into a destination and a pillar to a thriving community.
