A Lunch with the Experts presentation...

"Think National to Win Local: Harnessing the Power of Competitive Collaboration"

with Business Consultant Kathleen Wood of Kathleen Wood Partners

 
The top two competitors for all small businesses are Amazon and Google.  Both companies have been brilliant at making it easy for consumers to find anything and everything and get it when and where they want it.  That kind of convenience is hard for a small business to beat and with every online transaction it becomes harder for locals to compete for the customer’s loyalty.
