Greetings!

KUrt ShaverBack-to-School time reminds me of a conversation I had with my dad when I was in school. Upon seeing me watching TV, he asked, "Why aren't you doing your homework?" I replied, "I don't have any tonight."  He followed-up with, "Are you getting straight A's?" I said, "Almost." He closed the discussion with, "If you're not getting straight A's, then you have homework."

Are you getting "straight A's" in selling? If you are not selling as much as you want and would like some help overcoming shrinking budgets and increased competition, then join us at the final three seminars this year - Presentations (Oct. 14), Competition (Nov. 4), and Closing (Dec. 2). Click here to learn about a money-saving package on the remaining three seminars.

Good Selling,

Kurt Shaver
