Tuesday ~ March 30, 2010 ~ 8:30 am to Noon
This ½ day seminar is based on how to maintain current staffing levels while adding back some of the revenues lost in 2008-9 as customers start to order more product.

If your value added percent of sales is 60%, it adds $600,000 per million added in revenue for up to about 30% revenue growth.
