Event Date  On-Demand Webcast Details

Duration: 30 minutes

There is a fundamental truth in building: any structure has a better chance at lasting on bedrock than on sand - guaranteed! The same can be said of any business. How can you make sure that yours will stand the test of time?

Join Reggie Bradford, three-time entrepreneur and Oracle SVP, and Gareth Williams, Founder & Managing Director at YellowDog, to learn what you should focus on to ensure your SMB has the foundation it needs to pivot towards new market opportunities, new distribution methods, and new ways of doing business.

Join the Webinar to Learn About:

  • Operations - What processes do you have in place to save time, money, and energy? What will you need?
  • Technology - Do you have reliable, agile, and flexible systems? Do you know how to leverage them to meet customer expectations and move quicker than your competition?
  • Human Resources - Have you built a cohesive executive team, and do you understand when certain roles need to be defined and brought on? Do you know what to look for when the time comes?
  • Finances - Are you making good use of the money you have, AND can you create or gain access to the financial resources you need?
