WHAT ATTENDEES SAY ABOUT JON SCHALLERT 'S
DESTINATION BUSINESS BOOTCAMP


We asked our BootCamp attendees:  "What would you tell others who
are thinking of attending Jon Schallert's Destination BootCamps?" 
Here's what they said:


"It is amazing, after 20 years in business and reading every business book that comes down the pike, after seeing dozens of 'consultants' speak, I finally know the secret!!...I know without a doubt that I will DOUBLE, probably triple my business in the next 18 months."  Tracy Dial, Two-time BootCamp Attendee, Mary-Ellen's Florist, Design & Decor, Mooresville, NC

 

"We were quite skeptical when we enrolled in the BootCamp, but that skepticism disappeared from the word go.  Jon presented literally hundreds of thought-provoking, idea-generating concepts that had us writing furiously into the night.  We started putting them into action the very day that we returned from the BootCamp, and are delighted that we did.  In 9 months, we attained a 64% annual increase in sales.  If you have any doubts about this class, you can contact me personally at our website www.adamscountywinery.com. I will respond to you within 24 hours." John Kramb, Adams County Winery, Orrtanna, PA

 

"My husband and I own two restaurants in West Lafayette, Indiana.  Since attending the BootCamp, we have been in the newspaper 10 times.  We are more focused, more enthusiastic, and have changed the way we think about our business after attending the BootCamp.  I know you think you can't afford to be away from your business, but you can't afford to miss the BootCamp experience."  Carrie Ehresman, Owner, Diner 66 & Triple XXX Family Restaurant

 

"The Destination Business BootCamp is just for you to succeed.  Not promoted by vendors and manufacturer desires or agendas.  If you want your business to grow, start here.  You'll be challenged and encouraged and overwhelmed in an upbeat format.  Lots of resources shared from successful business owners." Kathy Adair, The Gazebo, Logansport, IN

 

“I just wanted to write and tell you thank you for a wonderful time I had at the Destination BootCamp. I had to let you know how much this has changed our outlook!  I cannot believe how much I came away with.  I was hoping for one or two great ideas.  Instead I have hundreds.  It is like I have a brand new business all over again.”  Greg Bonner, Heights Toy Center Inc., Little Rock, AR

 

"The BootCamp is worth it for a fresh perspective and an 'outsider's' opinion of my business.  Throughout the BootCamp I saw myself and my business and a need to change.  Bottom line - this BootCamp can save you two of the most important things a small business owner can never have enough of - TIME & MONEY.  You will run a much more effective business with these principles." Lucy Dattilo, Something Simple, Madison, IN

"The BootCamp brings a lot of things into focus.  It gives a path to success and shortens the journey.  Jon showed me that I'm doing many things right, many things wrong and there are just a bunch of things I'd never thought of.  Go with an open mind and be willing to accept that you've maybe gone in some wrong directions.  It has given me a framework to build my business.  Thanks!"

Katherine Bigler, Adams County Winery, Orrtanna, PA

 

"Jon has his finger on the pulse of business in America.  His techniques are all do-able and I believe can make me very successful if I follow his advice.  Unless your business is meeting every goal you set, you need to learn from Jon Schallert.  He has great strategies and tactics to teach you."
