2022 has had some challenges - But we are starting the New Year!
Don't think New Year's Resolutions, think about your 2023 EVOLUTION
Resolutions don't work. The average person keeps them for less than 2 weeks (remember the gym membership, fruit diet, juicer machine etc…;). So the wheels will fall off the Resolution train.............
Why don't resolutions work? Because it is our human behavior. It is our habit. It is easy. It might even be satisfying. So in...

Compensation systems

It costs over $ 6000.00 in time, expenses, and training to bring new employees on board and get them productive. This does not allow for lost sales!
