Harris DeWese demands that printing salespeople end their distractions to allow time for more selling.

Free M&A Service

Printing Impressions and Compass Capital are providing a complimentary service for readers who seek to sell their companies and for those looking to acquire other businesses. All additions to this list must be submitted by the applicant's CEO or CFO to HDeWese@CompassCapLtd.com.

This service is free, and does not require any type of engagement agreement with Compass Capital. Printing Impressions is providing this space as an industry service, but accepts no responsibility or liability for the accuracy of the statements shown below.

HAPPY NEW Year! I am predicting, without equivocation, that 2010 will be a much better year than 2008 and 2009. You can take that to the bank, or the grocery store. Where else, but in the pages of Printing Impressions, can you get that kind of rock-solid guidance?

This is a column about the ugly, evil and dreaded affliction known as distraction. As your beloved Mañana Man, I have pioneered the research and practice of losing my way and taking disruptive and bewildering side roads to nowhere.
