I've talked with a number of you already on a one-to-one basis about this, but I really want to stress to you the quality of training that is being provided by The Stone and Tile School. John Freitag brings so much to the table and the feedback I have been hearing from students has been impressive to say the least.

I also want to strongly impress on you that he, Fred and I work closely together to outline advanced training specifically for you, based on the input we get.

For example, this upcoming special workshop (MAY 21-22, 2009, How to Win More Bids, Increase Productivity and Maximize Profits) was designed for specifically for our Partners based on needs that have been presented. John has so much to offer and he's putting so much value into this workshop. The knowledge, skills, little known tips, resources and information you will walk away with will have immediate impact on your bottom line. I KNOW what is being covered and based on the discussions I've had with so many of you, what you will learn will help you so much.

John is not only extremely passionate about this, he is very knowledgeable and has years and years of experience achieving annual revenues in excess of $1million and maximizing profits on each job. He knows what it takes to drive profits and he's laying it all out for you in this workshop.

On another note, you may or may not know that John offers custom tailored training. If there are particular needs you have, areas that you feel you could benefit from individual one-on-one training -- whether it is advanced training, contracts and bidding, pricing -- whatever it is, contact him at The Stone and Tile School about it.

The Stone and Tile School is an integral part of who we are and the service that is made available to our Partners. The facility is also the largest and most well equipped facility in the industry. And the instructors, John, Fred and the others are without question the most respected and seasoned pros you will find.

If you want to really grow professionally, please seriously look at the training being offered to you. As always, Partners get first dibs on training and discounted rates.
