Get Real-World Results From P4 Learning Labs Back when I was in school (and yes, it’s been quite a while), I loved the hands-on nature of a laboratory, or “lab class.” I can appreciate the value of a good lecture, but to me, nothing topped the practical benefits of learning by doing. As with most of us in the trade industries, I’ve always preferred real-life action over theory and explanations.

I think that’s why our P4 Learning Lab has been so successful at giving contractors and small-business owners a profitability boost. Virtually everyone I’ve spoken to who has attended a P4 event agrees on one thing: They left knowing exactly how to improve their companies’ profits – and they obtained the tools to do so right away.

When you attend a P4 Learning Lab, you bring your laptop and your company’s books. Before long, you’ve installed a fantastic piece of software that helps you to optimize your time, improve your billing and maximize the productivity of your team. Then you spend three days working with an award-winning consultant from Grandy & Associates who specializes in helping contractors and other small businesses to improve and grow.

You don’t spend that time taking notes about a theoretical business example – you spend it working on your actual business!

Once in a while, people ask me if I think that our P4 Learning Lab is worth the $1,795 registration fee. I tell them “No – it’s worth twice that much.” And I’m not kidding. Hiring a

proven business consultant can be very cost prohibitive if you do it on your own. Buying custom software that is developed just for the trade industries can also be expensive. On the other hand, some owners tell me that they just can’t spend three days away from their business.

“In that case, P4 is perfect!” I tell them. “It lets you spend three days working with your sleeves rolled up ON your business.”

P4 gets results . . . period. In fact, W.A. Roosevelt guarantees that your business will make more money after you attend a P4 Learning Lab – or we’ll give you your money back. Don’t talk yourself out of attending this coming year . . . make it a New Year’s Revolution if you must. Then talk to your W.A. Roosevelt representative – or talk to me personally.

P4 will make you money. It will build your business.

It might even save your company if it’s struggling.

But don’t just take my word for it. Watch a video featuring testimonials from past P4 attendees at waroosevelt.com/Ser vices /UniversityofDSG/P4 LearningLab.aspx. Then sign up and start building your business with help from W.A. Roosevelt . . . because remember, if you aren’t successful, we aren’t successful!
