Come to Print World for a hands-on practical guide to growing your sales in an extremely competitive and difficult market from seminar leader Jay Mandarino, president and CEO of The C.J. Group of Companies.

Mandarino started out on the sales side as a print broker and over the years, has been through all the great times and the challenging times.  Through it all, Mandarino and his team have grown sales every year for the last 10 years, despite a tough Toronto market.

Frank Romano, the leading commentator and expert on the printing and graphic arts industry, will deliver a special keynote address at Print World.

Romano will speak on Sunday, November 20, from 10:30 am to 12 pm, and will focus his address on The Future of North American Printing. He’ll look at the past and future of print in a digital age, review the state of the industry, and cover new print technology from litho to nanographic methods.

He will review changes in product mix and where new opportunities for printers will arise. He will also deliver a no-holds-barred take on the technology presented at Drupa earlier this year.

Do you dream of selling your company and retiring? If you haven’t positioned your business for the 21st century marketplace, you may be in for a shock because the rules have changed. Great profit won't guarantee you’ll get the price you want; In fact, some companies can't be sold regardless of their profit.
 
Purchasers today are looking differently at investments. Gone are the days when share value was predominantly determined by revenue and income.  Instead, it’s all about de-risking a business in order to attract top dollar.  Long-term growth is outpacing short-term profit models.
