Helping Chambers and Associations Help their Members

Hosting an event is simple.

We make it easy to give something significant to your members!  

An estimated 9 out of 10 small business owners cannot articulate their strategy.  Without a clear strategy, hard work means surviving.  With the right strategy, hard work means growth and success.

We make strategy simple so it can easily be applied.  When businesses apply our strategic growth principles, they succeed.  We accelerate growth.  One simple investment in business growth strategy training will make a difference for years to come. 

Small strategic adjustments will significantly improve business growth for your members enhancing economic impact in your community.

CASE STUDY

Chamber of Commerce

Supporting members - Duchesne Chamber of Commerce


The Chamber of Commerce serving Duchesne County in Utah is one of several similar organizations that have successfully hosted a Strategy Guidemap training event. The process is straightforward: select a date and venue, promote the event, and Strategy Guidemap takes care of the rest.


As the host, you control the details. In Duchesne County, the Chamber opted to partner with local sponsors (and a workforce development program called Custom Fit) to significantly reduce participant costs to just $15. They chose a midday time slot, served a meal, and managed their own registration and fee collection instead of using Strategy Guidemap's services for this task.


The event attracted businesses across diverse industries, including health and fitness, hospitality, retail, professional services, manufacturing, energy, and natural resources. They filled the venue, had an enjoyable time together, and immediately began discussing a future repeat event. 


For chambers of commerce, business associations, and similar organizations, hosting a Strategy Guidemap event not only adds value for members but also creates a compelling marketing opportunity to engage businesses that are not yet part of the chamber.
