Going through Business Street Smarts sharpened my financial skills and helped me prove how valuable I am to the owners I work for. When I showed them the Optimal P&L I learned how to create from this program the owners where shocked to learn how much money we were losing due to inefficiencies each year. I used the cost savings section of the program and we were able to implement these ideas in order to save over $40,000 a year. They didn’t blink an eye when I subsequently asked for a raise.
