Getting Started: It’s all about preparationIf you were to ask a group of retailers, “What are the three most important factors to be successful at retail?” They would all give the same answer:1. Location, 2. Location, 3. Location.
In the same way, without question, the top three reasons meetings fail are: 1. Preparation, 2. Preparation, 3. Preparation.
