In other news, Proforma announced Dave Fellman, Cliff Quicksell, Jr., Laura Posey, Brian Powers and keynote speaker John Foppe will be presenting at its annual convention and family reunion.
“We listen closely to feedback from our franchise owners to find out what information they need to know to grow their businesses,” said Greg Muzzillo, founder and co-CEO. “With the input of our owners’ Advisory Council, we’ve planned a convention that will truly help owners advance their businesses. In order to do so, we’ve enlisted the help of several outside speakers who will speak on topics such as time management, finding, hiring and managing employees, and, of course, advanced knowledge in the printing and promotional products industry.”
Each outside speaker will give a presentation on a specific subject, offer suggestions and tips, as well as answer questions. During the second half of each session, franchise owners will be able to discuss how they used this particular topic to successfully grow their businesses.
“We are looking forward to more panel participation from our owners than ever at this year’s Convention,” said Muzzillo. “Proforma’s greatest asset is our people, and these individuals want to share their knowledge and success in order to help others reach their goals and achieve their dreams. This is what Proforma is all about.”
