SCORE and the Watauga EDC would like to invite you to a Lunch & Learn with Herman Metzler on Thursday, June 15 at the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce.

What does it take in turbulent times to stay in business and be successful? Are you aware why small businesses fail? Have you selected an advisory board? Are you utilizing your past customers to attract new ones? Are you using the Pareto principle to manage your business? This and many more topics will be covered in an effort to help you succeed in difficult times.
