because this man puts his ideas and advice in
language that is fresh and^ynamic with a
chuckle thrown in for people Who like to laugh.
* • Why is Charlie about to do four seminars in
our hometowns?
Because we've asked him to come. Local
charribers of commerce are also showing their
support as co-sponsors, We're interested in the
economic health of the communities we serve. ••-
We figure if a business person uses just one of
Charlie's ideas and that idea leads to one more
customer or one more sale, it was worth it.
^. And while we're on the subject of worth, you
will be able to hear Charlie for little or nothing.;.
All ypu heed to invest is a few hours of your time
Some people are suspicious of. "free" things.
How often have you heard, "If it doesn't cost
