As a Retailer who has been in business now for 15 years, I have been around the block and I have seen it all! I believed until I sat in on Mr. C's Symposium! Besides being the most creative designer that I have even seen his words and business concepts impressed me even more! He spoke right to my HEART! He said things that I have been wanting to say to myself! He motivated me on a business level and then showed me different time saving little tricks of the trade that I had never seen before! It was the Best Seminar I have ever attended! I will give him a 98% on a scale of 100%! When I read the press release and it called him the God Father of the Gift Basket Industry I said to myself, I will be the judge of that! Well it is true, he is the God Father of the Gift Basket Industry!
