"Coleman Cox is an intriguing character. He is both inspiring and humorous. One can easily imagine him handing out sage advice with smirk on his face. I imagine him to be a great story-teller and a wonderful dinner guest. You cannot collect great quotations for very long without finding some great one-liners by Coleman Cox. His favorite topic is sales, but he also covers business in general and life in general. Although these words are from eight decades ago, they ring true today. I'm sure you'll find a great deal to enjoy here. Open to any page right now and you'll find yourself flipping through several more. Try it! This book is a wonderful resource you'll come back to again and again. And you'll be quoting Coleman Cox for a long time to come."

Growing your business is fun -- but it's also difficult. One of the biggest challenges is maintaining profitability. That's particularly true with projects. One- and Two-person shops have enough challenges with projects. As you grow, you have three more:

• First, the sales people have to be in sync with the tech team. You need to make sure you're selling the right services and the right projects. That means you need a sales process. We'll show you how to get started.
• Second, your sales people need to manage the project handoff to the tech team. All the promises need to be written down, measured, and delivered. Once again, a great process guarantees a perfect project!
• Third, tech team members need to be able to work together without creating rework or dropping anything. And again, you're back to having the right process.

This is NOT just another seminar. You'll walk away with proven processes and procedures to make your company more profitable as you grow!

Every client engagement is covered by contract law -- whether you write the contract or not.

Your contracts or service agreements are the very definition of the services you offer and the prices you charge. They are the formal definition of your relationship with your clients. There is always the personal side, of course, and that's what keeps small businesses in business. But the basic description of how you operate is defined by your service agreements.
