The E-Myth Insider
September 27th, 2007 Brought to you by E-Myth Worldwide
Dear E-Myth Reader,
This week we report on survey results we gathered last month. Like any business, we need to know what you want in order to develop products and services to meet your needs. A big Thank You goes to those who responded to our survey, and we encourage all newsletter recipients to tell us their opinions and concerns. To contact us, visit the E-Myth website.
And in response to what our customers have requested, here are two ways to train your staff in E-Myth processes: An online Pizza Lunch Staff Tele-training on October 4, and Leadership Development Series seminars in Atlanta GA, on October 11 & 12.
The Pizza Lunch subject is 'The Key Frustrations Process' and is $179 for as many staff as can fit in your conference room. We've also got a discount price on the Atlanta seminars. See our Special Offers page for details.
