Seminar
Creating a Contagious Business Culture
Jason grew Sudsies from 2 to 200 employees and 54 routes with only 6 of them having prior dry cleaning experience. If you’ve ever seen Sudsies team members, you know they resemble more of a happy and empowered posse than simply employees. Jason will share how he builds a contagious business culture that cultivates high employee retention, extreme efficiency, increased sales and a fun work environment.
