How to Turn Frustration Into Delight
How to Turn Frustration into Delight
Every day businesses frustrate their customers and employees. Unfortunately, a lack or recognition of this frustration and the inability to respond proactively cost businesses in terms of employee output, customer satisfaction, loyalty and ultimately - productivity and profitability. Participants will receive a detailed 24-page report (compiled from a pre-program assessment) that will allow them to understand their preferences in the area of customer service, communication, motivation, and management style.
The program consists of a half-day session during which participants will be actively engaged in the learning process. Participants will both experience the different ways the four interaction styles solve problems and address challenges. During the program, participants will:
- Learn how not to alienate 2/3 of your customers and employees.
- Understand the 4 Steps to 'Turn Frustration into Delight'.
- Create action plans for communicating and selling to every employee, customer and client.
- Learn the keys to motivate, manage and communicate with your team.

SBA: Top Five Risks to Small Businesses
What Are the Top Five Disaster Risks to Small Businesses?
Are you prepared? Get Tips at Free Webinar
Hosted by SBA and Agility Recovery
WHAT: “The Top Five Risks for Business Disasters in America”– Disaster preparedness tips from Agility Recovery, followed by a question and answer session.
WHEN: Tuesday, July 14, 2015 – 2 to 3 p.m. EDT
HOW: Space is limited. Register at http://agil.me/sbatop5
WASHINGTON –For some reason, the building where you run your business was hit with a power outage, and you’re forced to shut down for several days. Your customers wonder why your doors are closed, and they decide to spend their money elsewhere. It’s even worse if you run a business like a florist shop or a restaurant, because you’ll lose much of your expensive inventory thanks to the power outage.
Small business losses more often are the result of small, isolated incidents. Assessing your company’s risks, and becoming more aware of those hidden threats, is one of the first steps in creating an effective business continuity plan.
Join Agility Recovery and the U.S. Small Business Administration on Tuesday, July 14, at 2 p.m. EDT for an online discussion on the top five small business disaster risks, and how to protect your assets before a crisis hits.
The SBA has partnered with Agility Recovery to offer disaster preparedness strategies through its “PrepareMyBusiness” website. Visit
www.preparemybusiness.org to access past webinars.
The SBA provides disaster recovery assistance in the form of low-interest loans to homeowners, renters, private nonprofits and businesses of all sizes. To learn more, visit

Bartow History Museum: An Appalachian Reminiscence
Local author discusses his Appalachian childhood
The Bartow History Museum welcomes local author, Ben Garrison, to the upcoming Lunch & Learn program on Wednesday, July 15, 2015. Garrison’s book, Sugar in the Gourd: An Appalachian Reminiscence, gives a glimpse into Appalachian culture as he details his life growing up in the North Carolina mountains.
Garrison was one of nine children who grew up on a 40 acre hardscrabble farm in rural North Carolina. He and his family used horses and hand tools and grew their own food. Sugar in the Gourd is an inspiring and often tender chronicle of growing up in the Appalachian Mountains during the 1930's, 40's, and 50's. It's pure Americana. The author describes things that are forever lost, but which should be passed on, and definitely not be forgotten.
Lunch & Learn will take place on July15, at noon. Guests are invited to bring a lunch and the doors will open at 11:45 a.m. The Bartow History Museum is located at 4 E. Church Street in downtown Cartersville. The lecture is free to members and included with the price of admission for not-yet members. For more information on this and other BHM programs, call 770-382-3818, ext. 6288 or visit our website at www.bartowhistorymuseum.org.

Third Annual Tomato Festival
Third Annual Tomato Festival at the Cartersville Farmer’s Market
CARTERSVILLE- The Cartersville Farmer’s Market is well underway for the 2015 season and our big event this month is the Third Annual Tomato Festival, which will take place on Saturday, July 25th, from 7 AM to 12 PM at the Founder’s Oak Parking Lot across from City Hall.
Activities will begin around 10 AM and will include a tomato contest for the local farmers. The categories will be: the biggest, the tastiest, and the most unusual tomatoes. Voting will be open between 10 AM and 11 AM, and the winner of each category will be announced after all of the votes are counted. There will also be a kids’ coloring and painting station set up, along with a tomato planting activity, next to the judging table.
The Owens Brothers will be providing live music entertainment, and The City Cellar and Loft will be joining the Farmer’s Market and serving their famous Fried Green Tomatoes from 10 AM to 12 PM! The Cartersville DDA will be giving away tomato sandwiches made with fresh tomatoes from our local farmers.
“We’d like to encourage the entire community to come out to the Farmer’s Market to help us judge all of these locally produced tomatoes,” says Special Events Coordinator Hollie Duncan. “These beautiful, ripe tomatoes are finally in season, and what better way to enjoy them than at the Tomato Festival. After tasting all of these delicious tomatoes, you are sure to want to take some home with you. So bring the whole family to the Cartersville Farmer’s Market on July 25th and Buy Fresh, Buy Local.”
