Jon Schallert is the only professional speaker teaching businesses and communities how to turn themselves into Consumer Destinations.  Jon developed his proprietary 14-step “Destination Business” process after interviewing over 10,000 independent business owners in nearly 700 cities, towns, and downtowns.

On this site, you can learn about his full range of training opportunities, all within Destination University, the only learning library where you can learn how to reinvent your business and community into a Consumer Destination..

Jon’s Destination strategy is designed to help independent businesses and communities stand out and draw customers to them, increasing customer traffic from both local consumers and consumers from miles away. Economic development professionals have verified that when local businesses use Jon's Destination process, a community’s tax base grows.

Under the Destination University umbrella of learning opportunities is our flagship 2.5 day learning experience, the company’s “Destination Business BootCamp®”, where business owners and community leaders learn Jon's entire 14-step, proprietary Destination strategy in Colorado, or in communities across North America, thanks to regional sponsors.
