Topic:  "Sustainable Business Practices"Bill Mitchell

Speaker:  Bill Mitchell, Executive Director/COO Waukesha Economic Development Corporation.  Bill's job is to facilitate growing the economic base of Waukesha County.

Location:  SandBar Sports Pub, W278 N2315 Prospect Avenue

Menu:  Lemon Tarragon Chicken, Wild Rice, Baby Carrots with Dill, Tossed Salad

Why You Should Come:  Companies that implement sustainable (green" business practices can thrive in the face of rising resource costs, risky supply chains, increased regulations and heightened customer and community demands.  Smaller companies often don't have the resources or know where to start adapting sustainable operations and business strategies.  Come to this luncheon and you will learn:

  • What is a 'sustainable enterprise?'
  • Why sustainability is more than a fad or business 'flavor of the month'
  • Some Waukesha County companies' sustainability success stories
  • The basics of starting a 'green team' in your company
  • Resources to explore getting started

Registration Cut Off is a week before (Wed. April 7).

SURVEY QUESTION:   What are the top problems/concerns/issues your business is facing in 2010?

 

No. 4 Response to this question was:

 Advertising/Marketing

·         Keeping our name in front of people (several)

·         Finding more customers

·         Retaining our current customers that are being marketed more heavily by our competition in this down market

·         Looking for new and different ways to get in front of potential customers

·         Finding the dollars to spend, what will give us the most ROI?

·         Getting people to Pewaukee

·         Educate the public about the need for our services, who we are and what we can do for the community

·         Lack of exposure - people don't know where we are (hidden in Pewaukee business park)

·         Through advertising  - competition offering cheap prices but bad service

·         Getting the word out about the advantages of social marketing

 

Thank you for completing the survey.  We will continue to feature sections of the survey in future email blasts.  We will not post the survey results on our website as originally planned given the controversy over the merger question.
