Join Us for Breakfast


Dan Spohn of UBI Business Consulting will be our speaker and provide breakfast. Dan will be sharing about, "Helping small business owners find a way to make it home for dinner (at least a couple of nights a week).”

“Business Consulting” is as nebulous as “over there” or “pretty much”. Come and hear some observations from my 40+ years of working for small businesses both product and service based, from $1M to $20M in annual revenue. Lean about revenue plateaus and strategies to break through them. Gain an understanding of the benefits of mission/vision statements and strategic planning (yes, even for small businesses). Hear some actual data-based strategies and plans that were successful in redirecting company focus. Looking forward to seeing you all there!

This networking opportunity allows members to get to know each other at a deeper level. We develop trust and knowledge about

each other's businesses that lead to referrals. It's like having 40 salespeople for your business!
