The High Value of Small Town Values 

After fifteen years owning a seventy-five-year-old family business eight miles outside of a town of 849 people in rural Northwestern Minnesota, Eric Bergeson is grateful for the lessons taught him by the small town business environment, namely: Trust is first. Attitude is essential. Friendliness is a must. Consistency is expected. Quality is not optional. Loyalty must be earned.

Eric's stories of small-town business adventures and escapades highlight a universal human longing for the old days, when a handshake was a handshake and one's word was enough. And yes, we can go back. Eric will share the essentials of creating an old-time small-town environment in your workplace and with your customers.
