Better Business in Bad Times

Where: Vancouver, WA
Duration: 1 day
Cost: $75

Don’t assume that seasonal slumps are inevitable or that economic hard times mean your business has to suffer. In reality, you have a great deal more control than you might think over how and whether you experience slow times.

Join Veronica Boutelle, dog*tec President, author of How To Run A Dog Business and co-author of Minding Your Dog Business, to learn effective strategies for handling your rainy days, be they seasonal slowdowns or the current recession. Even better, learn how to avoid or counter their effects altogether. Can you actually grow your business in a struggling economy? Absolutely.

What You Will Learn

This one-day business seminar for dog trainers, dog walkers, pet sitters, dog daycare and boarding operators, and other professionals working with dogs covers:

  1. Strategic pricing
    Most dog pros worry their prices are too high, but it’s usually low prices that will sink your business. Learn why, and what to do about it.
  2. Effective sales
    If you’re like most dog professionals, you probably hate this part of owning a business. But learning a few simple language strategies can make this dreaded task much more comfortable. You don’t have to be a natural salesperson to be an effective one.
  3. Inexpensive marketing approaches
    You don’t have to have a big marketing budget, but you do have to market. Learn the most effective ways to use the budget you do have, and how to market without a budget, too.
