On today’s SBAM Weekly Podcast, Michael Rogers talks with Mark Henry, President/CEO of One Point Technology Group. “When it comes to support issues, the challenges that most businesses are experiencing are each vendor pointing fingers at one another,” he says. “It leaves the employee, the store level employee, the business level employee or the owner holding the bag and not understanding some of the IT verbiage that is thrown around. And so what we've done is we've set out to address that.”

She says that following the COVID restrictions “I have become much more financially astute. I am constantly looking at my numbers monthly, and then quarterly, and then 12-month look backs, that's absolutely key. Because things have been changing so rapidly. Before, you could wait a couple months here and there before you looked at your P and L, but not now.”
