Leadership, Supervision, Time Management, Sales

Words of wisdom for this week.

I have developed several new simple and easy to complete Quotient Evaluation forms. Thought I would share a few of them with you this week. Feel free to use these anywhere in your organization you feel appropriate. Here are four of them.
