Special thanks to Kevin Kordek for traveling to Richmond and giving back to the industry by sharing his experiences as an owner and operator for 35 years. His insights on "Where Every Dollar Goes", provided everyone in attendance with valuable business information that can be implemented into our respective businesses immediately.

Kevin shared:

• How to use financial modeling to ensure you are maximizing every dollar in your business
• How to build your business from the bottom line up
• How to build a price model that fits your business
• What to measure in your business and how to measure it
• How to build value in your business for when or if it's time to sell

As if Kevin had already not done enough, he shared generic price modeling spreadsheets that will be distributed to all members in attendance and that can be customized to best fit our individual business needs. On behalf of the CVPMA and all who attended, we greatly appreciate Kevin bringing value to our members by sharing and serving as an industry leader!

Special thanks to Chris Qualtieri with Crawlspace Door Systems for traveling to Richmond and providing such solid presentations on how local PCO's can add EASY revenue dollars by adopting these add-on services. The products were excellent, requires minimal training to use, and has the ability to set you apart from the competition.

On behalf of the CVPMA and all who attended, we greatly appreciated the information!

Special thanks to our most recent guest speaker Jay Cowan with Business Owner Exit Strategies , LLC. JAY was kind enough to visit us at Extra Billy's Smokehouse in Midlothian, VA to discuss his business and how current business owners can plan for the future of their business and family life.

If you missed last weeks meeting, here are just a few important questions that Jay Cowan helped answer for our local PCO's:

• When is the best time for me to transition from my business – and will it survive/thrive without me? 
• What’s my business really worth – and how do I know I’m right?
• What’s the difference between selling my business and having an exit/transition/succession plan?
