Speaker

About the speaker
Chris Rudolph is a husband, father of three, business coach and director of The Business Accelerator Program at American Family Insurance.

The Business Accelerator Program is a free, online toolkit by American Family Insurance that is designed to help you grow your small business dream!  It includes expert advice, articles and live-streamed events in key areas like sales, marketing, finance and leadership.

Since 2002, Chris has spent plenty of time on the roller coaster ride of being an entrepreneur. The highest highs, feeling like you're on top of the world, but also the lowest lows, feeling like a complete failure or wondering if you're going to have enough cash to stay in business next month.

After starting and selling-off two businesses (one fitness gym and one software company) there is one thing he?s learned along the way...it's extremely difficult to pursue your dream by doing it all alone. If you want to finish well, you need coaching and support, just like any serious athlete does.



About the case study
Seven years ago, American Family Insurance launched Business Accelerator, a free online program aimed at providing small business owners across America with valuable training, coaching, and exclusive content. Not only was its goal to reach American Family?s current small business customers, but to increase awareness among small business owners who hadn?t yet heard of the brand. Join Program Director Chris Rudolph as he discusses the impact that influencer marketing had on Business Accelerator?s growth and success, and challenges it?s faced over the years. You?ll leave with ideas for your own start-up program, how to measure its success, and best practices to keep in mind. Attendees will also be granted access to upcoming Business Accelerator sessions!
