Conflict Resolution Training for Small Business

The Conflict Skills Every Small Business Needs, Before One Situation Costs You Everything

Build the foundational conflict resolution skills that protect your customers, your employees, and your business—before silent conflicts turn into lost revenue, burnout, lawsuits, or worse.

This is not corporate theory. This is real-world, research-backed conflict training designed specifically for small businesses—delivered in 2–3 minute videos that fit real schedules.

You Don't Need Workplace Chaos to Have a Conflict Problem

You may think conflict isn't a real issue in your business because you don't see shouting matches, public drama, or physical altercations.

But conflict doesn't usually look like that—until it's too late.

Most conflicts are happening silently:

The customer who never comes back, and tells their friends to avoid you

The team member who's one bad day away from quitting

The employee who's quietly job-hunting because nothing ever got resolved

The situation that escalates slowly… until one day it explodes

By the time you notice the damage, you've already lost customers, revenue, productivity, and trust, and you may never know exactly why.

Being proactive with conflict is like having a first aid kit before a crisis.
You don't wait for an emergency to wish you were prepared.

One Mishandled Conflict Is All It Takes

The cost of doing nothing

At best

Unresolved conflict costs you money you can't see:

  • Customers you lose without ever getting a negative review

  • Employees who quit quietly, taking experience and stability with them

  • Managers burned out from constantly "refereeing" people problems

  • Productivity drained by tension, stress, and avoidance

At worst

It costs you everything:

  • A lawsuit that destroys your finances

  • A violent escalation that harms someone in your workplace

  • A reputation hit you can't recover from

  • A business closure you never thought would happen

You cannot market or sell your way out of a conflict problem.
 
If the foundation of your business is weak, everything built on top of it eventually cracks.

Most Business Owners Were Never Taught How to Handle Conflict

The Default Response

When conflict hits, people default to instinct, not skill. They fight, avoid, freeze, or give in just to make it stop.

The Wrong Investment

Then they pour money into marketing, hiring, and growth—while the real issue keeps draining profits from underneath.

The Blame Game

They blame the "difficult customer." They label someone a "problem employee." They hope things resolve themselves.

Building on Mud

That's like building a house on mud and wondering why it keeps sinking.

Conflict skills aren't optional.
They're the cement your business stands on.

Introducing the Solution

The Small Business Conflict Resolution Training Program

A subscription-based, continuously growing conflict resolution program designed specifically for small businesses with 1–500 employees.

Built for real-world conflict

Designed for retail, food service, healthcare, and hospitality

Short, focused videos

2–3 minutes each that actually get watched

Trauma-informed & research-backed

Practical methods grounded in science

Protects what matters

Skills that safeguard safety, reputation, and revenue

This is not about controlling people.
It's about keeping people, and your business, safe.

What You'll Be Able to Do Confidently

Anchor 1

After completing the program, you and your team will be able to:

Recognize warning signs before situations escalate to violence

De-escalate angry customers without giving in or making things worse

Navigate difficult conversations with coworkers and managers using proven frameworks

Handle conflict across phone, email, in-person, and social media channels

Know when to handle a situation—and when to escalate or call for help

Communicate clearly so misunderstandings don't turn into conflict

Set professional boundaries without guilt or fear

Understand trauma responses (fight, flight, freeze, fawn) and respond skillfully

Recognize bias and microaggressions before they damage trust

Document incidents using reasonable, preventative measures

These skills don't guarantee every conflict will resolve perfectly—people are

unpredictable.

But they give you options, confidence, and the best possible chance to prevent disaster.

From Anxiety to Quiet Confidence

Instead of walking into work with a knot in your stomach, you'll feel grounded and prepared.

Conflicts won't hijack your entire day

You'll stop replaying conversations at night

Boundaries will feel professional, not confrontational

Fear shifts from paralyzing to manageable

You'll know you've done everything reasonably possible to keep people safe

The weight of "I don't know what to do" is replaced with:

"I have skills. I have options. I can handle this."

Who This Is For (And Who It's Not)

This Program Is For You If:

  • You run or work in a small business with 1–500 employees

  • You care about your people and your customers

  • You don't have the budget for $5,000+ consultants

  • You want practical tools—not theory

  • You believe safety and health in the workplace matter

This Program Is NOT For You If:

  • You believe fear and intimidation are leadership strategies

  • You see employees and customers as obstacles to control

  • You're unwilling to invest even 15 minutes per month in skill-building

This program requires effort—but not much.

And the cost of not doing anything is far higher.

Why This Price Exists

Large corporations pay thousands for this level of training. Small businesses don't have that option.

This program exists so cost is never the reason someone wasn't protected, trained, or prepared.

If you choose not to invest at this price point, you're choosing conflict—and everything that comes with it.

This Is Your Foundation

You can't afford to keep building on mud.

For less than the cost of a daily coffee, you can give your business the skills that protect people, preserve reputation, and prevent the single conflict that could cost you everything.

Your people

Your customers

Your business

Build the foundation now. They're worth it.
