Brought His 14 Team Members to Vision – Travis Troy [RR 726]
I asked Travis Troy, point-blank, what did it cost him to take his entire team to Vision this year.

I stopped counting at 30 the number of shop owners who closed their shops there had to be 100 or more based on my simple survey results. Some strategies were to uplift and cross training their people into leadership roles by selecting that type of training.
