The 1% / 1 Day Solution
Presented by:
Andy Fried, KSU Small Business Development Center
A 1% improvement may seem small, but not for a company that generates a net profit margin of 2%. Just imagine if a big-box corporation improved its net profit margin of 2% by an additional 1%. That would be a 50% increase in net profit margin. With $100 B in annual sales, that translates to $1B additional profit!
Join us to explore the seven levers that effect cash flow and the power of 1% / 1 Day solution when applied to any or all of these levers.

Members: $25; after May 11th: 30
