Join Us at Cultivate’22 and Grow Your Business

We look forward to seeing you in July at Cultivate’22 – the green industry event that offers you countless opportunities to grow your business and enhance your career. We will be there with one in-person and one virtual seminar that you will not want to miss.
According to recent surveys, 80% of business owners have no business transition or succession plan. You’ve worked hard to build wealth and assets, but sustaining them over the long term requires strategic business succession planning – be it to a family successor or a third-party buyer. Get ahead of ownership and leadership changes. If you want the value of your business to remain intact for your successors, and/or achieve a higher selling price, begin the planning process sooner rather than later.
Attend the “Green Industry Succession & Exit Planning: Building Value into Your Business” Seminar on
Sunday, July 17, 2022, at 11:00 AM in Room C150.
According to Chris Cimaglio, CEPA and Managing Partner at BEST Human Capital & Advisory Group, “An Exit Planning Institute report found that over 75% of business owners who have sold their business profoundly regret it within a year after the sale. So, leadership succession and exit planning need to consider both the transactional and emotional aspects of leaving your business. This session will look at preparation and planning options and transitional strategies, especially in highly owner centralized companies.”
“It is hard to transition when no one is in place to take over, but that doesn’t mean the planning should stop. On the contrary, it is more important than ever to get started. We will also touch on business continuity planning. It will also address your personal and emotional readiness and review actions you can take today for you and your business to become more transition-ready. This is a timely seminar as we are currently experiencing an increase in succession and exit planning in the horticulture industry,” states Todd Downing, a Managing Partner at BEST.
Chris Cimaglio and Todd Downing will also be conducting an On-Demand Seminar during Cultivate’22 – Building Your Bench: Recruiting, Motivating, and Retaining Talent in the Green Industry for Today and Tomorrow.
Do you currently have the right people on the bus? Are you concerned with building and keeping your bench for today and tomorrow? The tight labor market, especially in the Green Industry, means that we need to change our thinking and recruit from outside the industry. This session will look at the ever-changing labor market and strategies you can take to build your human capital for today and tomorrow.
