Drawing from more than 20 years experience both as a "Big 4" corporate consultant and business owner, serving more than 500 small businesses and 2000 individuals, and from interviews with hundreds of other business owners on how they do things quicker and better, Gene Marks presents his unified small business management strategy: Quicker! Better! Wiser!

Employees, vendors and customers are demanding more and more, for less and less. Business owners, in turn, continually face the challenge of increasing sales, decreasing expenses, improving productivity and lowering the cost of service while increasing customer satisfaction. The Quicker! Better! Wiser! strategy provides six concrete steps for generating more cash from your existing resources without going insane.

While small business owners know you must spend money to make money, they work each day to maximize not only their return on investment, but also their return on expenses.

The Quicker! Better! Wiser! program cuts to the chase and equips the business owner with an arsenal of the latest proven tools, weapons and strategies based on Gene's business owner research and real world experience.
