A book by two highly success auto salvage operators. Both men recently sold their businesses to a Fortune Five Hundred auto manufacturer. The book shares their secrets to achieving significant success in an industry not often considered for such accomplishment.
Author Ron Sturgeon says, This book is not theory or a high brow thesis by an educator. It is a practical how-to guide by men who have actually done it and want to tell other business owners how they can do it too. Co-author D.L. Fitzpatrick joins Sturgeon by sharing his insights and experience learned from three generations of a family-run business that he also sold to the automotive giant.
The book will help any small business person learn the fundamentals required to achieve financial rewards. Twelve chapters cover topics ranging from gathering metrics, bench-marking against internal operations and competitors, how to use networking and personal electronic organizers to improve productivity, and how to work with bankers.
Especially valuable are 160 practical tips, plus an action item section prodding readers into action. The book brings a fresh first-hand insight to those small business owners who want a down-to-earth, easy-to-read book packed with simple to implement ideas.
