Amarillo Athlete
Blue Baggett & Marc Cornell
Blue Baggett and his wife Kendra approached the SBDC in 2008 for assistance opening a new sports training facility in Amarillo. Blue had the experience and know-how necessary with his many years as a fitness trainer and director. SBDC Consultant Julie Attebury was able to help them with their financial projections.
With partner Marc Cornell, Blue has remodeled an existing building into a state-of-the-art gym equipped with a weight room, sprint tracks, volleyball and basketball courts and batting cages.
Amarillo Athlete isn't a traditional gym. Blue and Marc work one-on-one with clients and specialize in analysis, coaching and training for everyone from individuals to groups and teams. Their facilities are for everyone from little league players to Olympic hopefuls. Youth training has become one of the most popular requests they receive and much of their time is devoted to one-on-one training of kids with potential to make it to the pros.

As another year of Business Boot Camp wraps up I can't help but stop and ask myself what the Entrepreneur Alliance has done to make this event the success that it is. It all boils down to one thing; knowing your customer.
It may sound elementary, but you cannot provide a service or goods to a customer if you don't understand what they want. Here are some basic tips I observed during BBC:
1. Be There
No matter what the client/customer needs, have someone available at all times to take care of their needs.
When a customer has something to say whether it be an idea, complaint or suggestion, take the time to listen to them. The personal attention will be appreciated and remembered.
3. Provide long term service
Just because you've made the sale (or the seminar is over) don't think you're job is done. Being there for customers longer than a competitor may be what wins you their business.
Everyone at the SBDC would like to thank Entrepreneur Alliance's Executive Director, Ashton Allison for his dedicated work with and for area entrepreneurs. He's moving on with a new opportunity and we wish him all the best! |
