About Jon Schallert:
Jon developed over the course of twenty-four (24) years by studying and interviewing over 10,000 independent business owners in over 500 cities and towns.
Jon’s Destination Business Strategy has been used around the world by businesses large and small to help them capture more market share, even when larger, better-capitalized competitors seemingly have the advantage. His process examines how a business elevates their unique qualities that a targeted customer finds most important. When independent business owners apply Schallert’s strategy, they naturally attract more local consumers along with customers from outside their traditional marketplace. Businesses also begin to attract more free publicity from the media, which in turn attracts more consumers than traditional advertising could ever reach.
Most organizations located in Massachusetts that are in good standing with the Commonwealth/MassTax Connect are eligible for the Workforce Training Fund Express Grant.
