Veterans own about 5.4% of businesses in this country, generating more than $900 billion in revenue. Those who have served are pretty good at starting and running businesses, thanks to the skills they learned in the military. We’ll hear more.

The conversation today is part of an ongoing partnership with the US Small Business Administration highlighting small businesses in the Shenandoah Valley as well as offering advice and resources to all small businesses. In this special Veterans Day episode, host Janet Michael and co-host Carl Knoblock, Virginia District Director for the SBA talk with John Kline, veteran/owner of Veterans Subs. John shares the history of Veteran Subs, a business he started to combine his passion for supporting veterans with his dream of owning a restaurant. Over the past two years, despite some challenges, the business has grown thanks to strong community support. John discusses the unique aspects of Veteran Subs, such as hosting veteran group meetings and fundraisers and donating a percentage of their sales to veteran organizations. Carl provides advice on establishing a nonprofit arm to maximize funding opportunities and streamline contributions, which John considers as part of the company's future plans. The conversation also covers Veteran Subs' extensive menu, which includes deli sandwiches, sides, and health-conscious options like "subs in a bowl." Carl suggests marketing strategies like taste tests and emphasizing fresh, in-house-made items to attract more customers. John talks about the importance of community engagement and how his military background influences his business decisions. The radio portion of the episode concludes with details on how customers can order from Veteran Subs and the importance of location and marketing for continued growth. Listeners are encouraged to visit veteranssubs.com and follow them on Facebook for more information. In the podcast conversation, Janet, Carl, and John discuss various aspects of running and marketing a small business, specifically focusing on a sub sandwich/deli restaurant owned by John. The conversation starts with Janet addressing issues with the consistency of the restaurant's marketing materials, including discrepancies between the website's contents and what is actually offered at the restaurant. Carl and Janet highlight the importance of uniformity in branding to avoid customer confusion. John explains the restaurant's operational challenges, like long working hours and the difficulty of noticing issues that are obvious to an outsider. They stress the value of an external viewpoint to identify and fix these problems. The discussion then shifts to various support programs for veterans, such as “Boots to Business,” which provides resources and support for veterans starting their own businesses. Carl and Janet provide insights about utilizing these veteran-focused programs to leverage support and network within the veteran community. Janet underscores the significance of customer interaction and networking, advising John to engage more with the local veterans' community by highlighting their stories on social media. Carl suggests securing intellectual property, like recipe trademarks, and exploring additional revenue streams, such as selling unique branded items. They address marketing strategies, comparing the effectiveness of social media campaigns against traditional methods like mailing brochures. Both Carl and Janet emphasize the importance of direct, engaging marketing efforts, such as attending local events and offering food samples, over spending money on mailers. They advise John to leverage his veteran status in marketing by using slogans to build stronger community ties. John shares his struggle with marketing due to limited resources. Carl advises considering franchising as a way to manage branding and marketing challenges systematically. They also discuss location strategy, noting the constraints of the current spot and the potential for better foot traffic in a more visible or easily accessible location. The conversation closes with Carl and Janet offering further practical marketing advice, like partnering with local institutions for catering and using student interns for research and development tasks to alleviate workload. They recommend tapping into local economic development offices for location scouting to improve visibility and access. Throughout, both Carl and Janet provide John with practical advice and strategic insights aimed at helping him scale his business and improve its market presence. The discussion was supportive and collaborative, focusing on actionable steps John can take to strengthen his restaurant's business model and marketing strategies.

Unlocking Opportunities: The Power of Business Certifications for Diverse EntrepreneursIn the latest episode of our podcast, we delve into the transformative potential of business certifications for diverse entrepreneurs. Featuring insights from three speakers, including our host, Heather Cox, the president and co-founder of Certify My Company, and an unnamed participant, this episode sheds light on how certifications can open doors to new business opportunities, particularly for women-owned, minority-owned, veteran-owned, and other underrepresented businesses. Our host kicks off the episode by emphasizing the importance of networking and connections for business owners. Drawing from their extensive experience with over 2,000 leaders, they highlight how certifications can serve as a powerful tool for accessing new contracting opportunities without relying on traditional sales tactics. The host offers a free video resource to help business owners achieve 100% inbound business and invites listeners to explore the podcast for valuable insights.Heather Cox, the president and co-founder of Certify My Company, shares her passion for supporting underestimated entrepreneurs. Founded 14 years ago, her organization acts as a "cheerleader" for these business owners, helping them navigate the complex landscape of certifications and educational programming. The goal is to prepare these entrepreneurs for larger contracts with both government entities and private sector companies. Heather explains that not all certifications are created equal. The right certification can significantly impact a business's ability to secure contracts. Understanding the specific goals and target markets of entrepreneurs is crucial in guiding them toward the most beneficial certification. Heather outlines the five main demographics eligible for certifications: Women-Owned Businesses, Ethnic Minorities, LGBTQ+ Owned Businesses, Veteran-Owned Businesses, and Disability-Owned Businesses.The conversation shifts to the broader implications of certifications in the contracting world. Heather explains that studies have shown companies with diverse supply chains tend to have better returns on investment (ROI). This is particularly relevant for Fortune 1000 companies, which are increasingly recognizing the value of working with diverse suppliers. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of local and diverse businesses, as they often stepped in to fill gaps when larger companies could not meet demand. Certifications serve as proof of a business's legitimacy and ownership by individuals from diverse demographics. This vetting process is crucial for companies looking to diversify their supply chains and meet shareholder expectations. The episode concludes with a strong message about the power of certifications for diverse entrepreneurs, emphasizing that certifications represent a commitment to diversity and inclusion in the business landscape.About Heather Cox:Heather Cox is a passionate advocate for diversity and a dynamic business executive.

Aaron Welch, a service-disabled veteran of the US Marine Corps (1995-1999), traded his combat boots for marketing savvy, diving into the internet marketing scene in 2001 and social media marketing in 2006. Aaron's marketing journey began somewhat accidentally with a website reviewing Houston's nightlife and eateries in 2000. Although that first venture didn't take off, it sparked a relentless passion. After relocating to Austin, Aaron quickly turned his passion into profit, boosting his first client's business by an eye-popping 500% within two months. Since those early days, he's launched numerous businesses with some hits and some misses, collaborated with behemoths like Cisco Systems, Google (Alphabet), Oracle, and CDW, and helped to grow a lengthy roster of SaaS and local service providers' businesses through digital marketing advising and services. As an adult student, Aaron earned his BA from Texas State University and an MBA from the University of Texas of the Permian Basin courtesy of the GI Bill and Hazelwood Act while working full-time. Today, Aaron channels his formidable skills into championing Veteran-Owned Businesses and Veteran Service Organizations, enhancing their digital marketing, fundraising efforts, and adding automation and AI magic to streamline operations all while being a husband, father of two daughters who have inherited his sarcasm, being an avid traveler, sports fanatic, and terrible golfer. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/vets2pm/support

With more than 18 million veterans in the US, either you or someone you know will be able to benefit from the information we share in this upcoming episode. Darcella Craven is the Chief Fear Conqueror and President of the Veteran Resource Business Center (VRBC), the nonprofit economic development agency assessing challenges and developing solutions to grow successful veteran-owned businesses and also immediate family members of veterans. Her organization services the areas of Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas and Iowa region, but they're part of a larger nationwide network of veteran business outreach centers known as VBOC. Before becoming part of the Veteran Resource Business Center (VRBC), Darcella Craven was an army veteran who later worked in different private entities for various administrative roles while also working as a faculty at Sanford Brown College. She also started her business but it failed, which made her pay the Internal Revenue Service a significant amount of money. She didn't want that to happen to other veterans. So, when an opportunity in helping  veterans came, she accepted it. She also volunteers on various nonprofit events that aim to promote entrepreneurship, provide job opportunities, and celebrate small business successes.
