Looking for Help in Hard Times?
July, 2008
The Klamath County Chamber of Commerce is working with Brian Smith and Business Efficiency Group to help businesses in need during tough economic times. "This will be part of an ongoing program at the Chamber as we continue to search for ways to help our members improve their businesses and become more successful", says Executive Director, Charles Massie, "Brian brings years of business consulting experience to this program and will be a great resource for the membership."
Business Efficiency Group is providing 200 hours of Pro Bono business consulting services to Chamber members to help them reach their potential for success.
This program is designed to help businesses that are not meeting their operational goals and will focus on member businesses that have financial or management issues requiring immediate assistance. An objective review of the Operations, Finance/Accounting and Marketing/Advertising will be completed at no cost. A plan to implement recommended changes to address the issues will be provided and up to 10 hours of work will be provided to company to implement the required changes, at no cost to the member business.
The Support Program will require a completed application (available from the chamber office or on our website) to be reviewed by the selection committee. All applications will be kept strictly confidential and businesses that are selected for the program will also sign a confidentiality agreement and a service contract Pro Bono and fee based (Required for Insurance; Professional Liability and or Errors and Omissions).
The Chamber will also be gathering and maintaining a library of business books, audio tapes and videos for use by members and will begin scheduling mini seminars to help with specific issues facing businesses today.
