Running a small business is hard. Always short-staffed and under-capitalized, business owners juggle a dozen balls every day. Reaching success without sacrificing too much of your personal life means becoming a good business operator. Because most business owners in the Green Industry started as good production or technical people, they struggle with the management of the business.  While professional management can be learned over time, an owner will still need help along the way. No matter how small or large the company, a Board of Advisors will provide powerful guidance to help you maneuver in the game of business. This course will define the role of a Board of Advisors and how to create that board.

We all saw or heard about the large cargo ship that got stuck in the Suez Canal and the massive back up of container ships anchored outside the ports Los Angeles and Long Beach. While these are very visible examples of supply chain delays in getting products to fulfill orders, there are so many additional challenges within the global transportation network creating real headaches for the landscape and irrigation industry. In this webinar we will discuss these ongoing challenges. We will also look at some of today’s product innovations providing professionals more installation and maintenance options to help prepare and overcome any challenges.

Instructor:  Kurt Thompson Developing company personnel is essential to the successful growth of any company because it has become very difficult to hire fully trained people. Most of the time training your people by lecturing or just showing how to complete a task is not effective. That is because working adults do not learn as they did when they were a full-time student. This 2-hour presentation introduces an owner, manager, or supervisor to the basic concepts of how adult learners perceive and process information. It also covers some proven, practical techniques, and methods to get the information in a form and size to effectively transfer knowledge to the learner AND get it put to use in the learner’s job. Also great for salespeople to learn about presenting their ideas to their clients!
