1. What's new on the Profits+Plus Seminars website
Each month we post another "take-action" business management article on the website. Our September article is entitled, "Here's Looking at You". The article suggests ways in which you should be looking at your business to see if customers are being exposed to the maximum number of purchasing opportunities.
