I have to thank our Expos VP, Steve Barber, for sending me this one.
In recent years, one of the most popular speakers at our trade shows has been Joel Cohen of RestaurantMarketing.com.  The site bills itself as “Real World. Real Time. Real Honest.” and the story below is a perfect example of the kind of [...]
