TOPIC: ROCK THE RECESSION
How successful contractors prepare for, thrive during, and create wealth after downturns!
Be honest, is your company ready for the next recession?
Most business strategists and forecasters are predicting the next recession is on the near-term horizon (think 6-18 months), and then they talk about “how to survive.”
You don’t want to survive, you want to figure out how to leverage the situation to profit and grow your business 10X—even while times are tough and your competitors are crashing all around you because they didn’t plan ahead.
Attend our session to shift thru the 5 Recession.com Gears:
- Gear 1 - ASSESS – Benchmark your company’s preparedness
- Gear 2 - TUNE – Tighten up your business and personal affairs
- GEAR 3 – RACE – Plan to pounce in the recession
- GEAR 4 – ACCELERATE – Capitalize on growth opportunities
- EMERGENCY BRAKE – Cut overhead as necessary to stay profitable
There are lots of companies driving around aimlessly with no plan for achieving breakout growth during the next recession. The ROCK THE RECESSION Keynote will help you to build a better company, better life, and better bottom line!
Our speaker: Jonathan Slain
