The peer group has proven to be an invaluable experience for me. Prior to joining Team Hardinger I spent 10 years with a national transportation and logistics company. The challenges that I faced as a manager in a large organization are drastically different than the challenges in a small business. The peer group facilitated by Decision Associates has helped me focus our sales efforts and enhance the company’s strategic plan.
