SPIN Launches Small Business Community

June 18, 2018 St Paul, MN SPIN:Senior Planners Industry Network recently launched the SPIN:Small Business Community, offering strategies and tools to members to survive in this uncertain business world.

“The recent commission cuts by the major hotel chains has hit many of our members hard,” said Tracey Smith, SPIN Executive Director. “Based on a recent survey we conducted, 36% of our members rely on a commission/fee structure. In order to keep their doors open they need to change and develop new ways to market their services. Our Small Business Community will offer tools and tactics to help them pivot.”

The SPIN:Small Business Community will provide on-demand education for its members from experts on business growth strategies. Current offerings include “Mindset Strategies for Business Growth” with Debbie Peterson and “Strategies to Fill Your Pipeline” with Charlene DeCesare. More sessions will be added throughout the year and there will be an entire track devoted to business growth at SPINCon 2018 (SPIN’s annual conference).

“46% of our members are small business owners”, remarked Shawna Suckow, SPIN Founder. “We’re ensuring they have the strategies they need to not only survive but thrive despite a few major hotel chains’ unilateral decision to change their income model.”
