Presented by: Profit Planning Group’s Meghan Rickel, MBA | Profit Growth Strategist

In today’s fast-paced, tech-driven world, understanding your financials is essential. The CETA Benchmarking Survey provides exclusive insights to help you make smarter decisions and boost profitability.

Attendees will also receive an overview of how to participate in the study and leverage its insights to drive meaningful improvements in their own businesses.

One-on-One Sessions for Survey Participants: To thank participants and enhance the value of the
survey, we are offering up to four hours of one-on-one sessions. Advanced reservations recommended but drop-ins will be accepted when they don’t interfere with reservations. Participants are asked to bring a copy of their Performance Analysis Report (PAR) for review.
