Cost Reduction Specialists, is there a need?

Cost Reduction Specialist Pre-Training Survey

Welcome and thank you for visiting my blog. I am pretesting the waters before going full speed on this exciting and rewarding opportunity. As with all new ventures there is a learning curve and an investment involved. Before making that commitment, my goal is to do the research, visit several companies, and gather information. I'm not an expert but I am good at finding answers. I will post related questions and concerns from potential clients and provide solutions and answers after training.
