I got to know and respect the capabilities of Charles when I saw him in action at ExecuLeaders. He is a consummate promotion person, continually putting his products and capabilities in frontof the buying public. At every ExecuLeaders breakfast, Charles always offers, as a door prize, three of his shirts with your own logo on them. Besides winning a number of awards for his embroidery and screen printing, it is a great promotion idea. And with your name and logo on these shirts, it is a wonderful way of telling the world about your company as well. This is not the area where I focus my attention with my clients, but I certainly know who to call when my clients are looking for this capability—Charles, one of the best!
