“Working with pet professionals on a daily basis, I get asked a lot of the same questions by our members – and many of them seem to have a lot of the same struggles. Whether they are just starting out or maybe have hit that 5 or 10 year plateau within their respective businesses,” said Nancy Hassel, President of American Pet Professionals.

“I wish when I started in the pet industry that there was a program like this to help educate, inspire and show me how to professionally plan for the New Year to come and bring my pet business to the next level.  We are really excited to offer this program, and while the event is a one-day event – attendees will get so much value even after the event with their 4-week action plan, access to Dana and I via the private forum group page and our live accountability follow up in January 2016.”

"So many pet product manufacturers have questions about taking their business to the next level. As experienced pet business professionals we decided to offer a concise format for entrepreneurs to efficiently get the insights they need, to power through their business pain points for 2016,” said Dana Humphrey of Whitegate PR INC.

When attendees register for this they will be given a 3-part questionnaire to fill out prior to the event.  This must be completed and submitted before the event.
