Service as Strategy: Lessons from a Local Business That Gets It Right

April 17, 2026 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM (EDT)

Description

What keeps customers coming back?

It’s not just your product. It’s the experience you create every single day.

Join us for an interactive workshop focused on customer service and staff training for local business success. This session is designed for local business owners, managers, and team leaders who want to build stronger teams and deliver exceptional customer experiences that drive repeat business.
In this session, you’ll learn how to:
  • Train your team to represent your brand with confidence and consistency
  • Create a customer experience that turns first-time visitors into loyal advocates
  • Set clear expectations and accountability for staff performance
  • Lead with a service mindset that strengthens your culture and your bottom line
This isn’t theory. It’s real-world insight from one of our community’s most successful and growing business owners, who has built Pittsboro Feed and Pittsboro Pet Supply into trusted, community-centered brands by putting people first.

If you’re looking for practical ways to strengthen your team, improve customer retention, and create a business people want to come back to, this workshop is for you.

Free for Chamber Members | $20 for Non Members

Lunch is included, along with time to connect with fellow business leaders navigating the same challenges and opportunities.
