We operate a child care in Brazil and this book really helped us to became a business. Much more than a marketing guide this "manual" will give you good examples, nice and practical ideas and the confidence that you need to deal with all kinds of clients.
Congratulations Mr. Copeland, this is what I was looking for.
Good Price. Good information. Great buy.
