Welcome, Alumni/Development Director!

Recalibrating Your Business GPS

This presentation is specifically designed to appeal to and benefit alumni who are small business owners (under $100 million in revenue, fewer than 100 employees) and their sales team leaders. Each participant will come away with increased confidence in their ability to do more business, independent of the macro economic trends.
