TULALIP — "The Upside to a Downturn" will be the subject of the next Greater Marysville-Tulalip Chamber of Commerce Business Before Hours, May 29 from 7-9 a.m. in the Canoes Cabaret Room of the Tulalip Resort Casino.

Professional speaker and author Sunny Kobe Cook, founder of Sleep Country USA, will be presenting this program, which will look at businesses that are not only surviving, but also managing to thrive in the current economic climate, in spite of the ongoing recession. Cook has cited times such as these as opportunities to gain market shares, and position businesses for growth once the economy recovers

Cook will note the reactionary pitfalls to avoid, the critical importance of retaining marketing, balancing between sensible cost reductions and maintaining customer service, and preparing business to be more profitable in the future.
