“An Outstanding Book for the Printing Industry”
I’d like to take a quick moment to say thank you to Scott Cappel of Sorrento Mesa Printing.
He took the time to not only read my book “Business Transformation: A New Path to Profit for the Printing Industry“, but he also put together a review on Amazon.com where he shared his thoughts!
What Scott Thought of the Book
Here is what Scott had to say:
“The printing business has been changing for many years now, and adapting to this change and adopting new business models has been the main priority of those responsible for guiding their print companies and maintaining profitability. Many have chosen the Marketing Service Provider or MSP path to evolve their printing companies into providing more than just print. John Foley has written an outstanding book on how to do just that. It provides a road map of not only what steps to take, but how to change one’s focus from tactical to strategic, and most importantly how to create a plan and execute on that plan. This is a must read for anyone in the printing business who wants to grow their company into the future.”
