GrowthWheel® Introduction Training on

Kingsport Office of Small Business Development and Entrepreneurship (KOSBE) and

The GrowthWheel®
is a new business tool for decision making. It offers small business owners and entrepreneurs a way to view their business holistically. GrowthWheel®
helps entrepreneurs get focused, set an agenda, and take steps to grow.
Participants of these trainings should expect to gain a 360° perspective of their business through the completion of a simple, action oriented process. Areas of focus will include creating an attractive business concept, building a strong organization behind the concept, developing lasting client relations, and doing so while maintaining profitable operations.
Once participants have attended the GrowthWheel®
Introduction Training, they are prepared to attend GrowthWheel®
WorkGroups – small group workshops that are focused on specific areas of the GrowthWheel®
. Past WorkGroup topics include Marketing, Employees, and Sales and Service.
This interactive training will be led by
Aundrea Y. Wilcox, KOSBE Executive Director and
Certified GrowthWheel® Business Advisor™ for the SBDC ETSU - Kingsport Affiliate Office.
"GrowthWheel®
is a great tool for businesses of any size, in any industry, at any stage of development, but is especially useful to existing businesses,"
said Wilcox. "The reason for this is that existing businesses have some history and experiences that make GrowthWheel®
more meaningful. I really would like to see our well established businesses take advantage of these trainings and make their old business new again."
