Sponsored by Flower Shop Network and Baisch & Skinner, SAF’s 1-Day Profit Blast in Kansas City features Sam Bowles, FSC, of FloralStrategies who will deliver “Extraordinary Service in Your Shop Every Day,” a presentation sponsored by FloristWare.
What makes a good business a great business? A loyal, happy customer base. Your success can come down to making that key demographic — your repeat customers— ready and willing to sing your praises.
“In fact, it’s the very foundational understanding that a business must deliver value in order to transform the good to the great,” writes R. L. Adams at Entrepreneur. “And it all starts by having the consumer’s best interest at heart.”
