PPLAC June Newsletter

PPLAC REFLECTOR JUNE 2011

Greetings!

Are you ready to take your business to the next level? Then plan to attend West Coast School June 12-17 in San Diego! I don't know of anywhere else that you can get five full days of hands-on education with nationally and internationally known instructors in a world-class learning environment second to none. Class sizes are limited to 20 students, so you are assured deep-immersion in the topic of your choice while enjoying wonderful opportunities for networking, camaraderie and collaboration with your fellow students.

West Coast School is the single best thing that I have ever done for my business. I'll be there again this year, and I hope to see you there.

Education is the key to success. Separate yourself from your competition. Invest in yourself, Invest in your business, Invest in your future! Learn more at www.westcoastschool.com.

Regards,
Jim Brammer
PPLAC President

Dennis opened the door to PPLAC members to make more $ales with his proven techniques that turn mere inquiries into customers who buy more... given choices.
