Pocket Profitability – How to Run Your Business and Make Money with your Mobile Device
You have more power in your pocket than they needed to send a man to the moon – and yet if you don’t know how to use your phone, it’s just an expensive and distracting paperweight.
You need to know how to harness that power and make it profitable, so you can run your business instead of having it run you, and be the most profitable member of your business team.
In “Pocket Profitability,” NACE members will learn:
- A plan to stop wasting money and time on useless apps
- The ability to leverage the tools already on their phone
- The what and why a tool is useful – or not
- A workable plan for various parts of their day to be more effective and efficient, and profitable – without spending a fortune!

During her studies, Ochoa spent time working in a sensory kitchen before becoming a research technician in a flavor chemistry lab. On a daily basis, Ochoa tests samples and quantifies the aromas and flavors of F&R products at every stage of the distillation, maturation, and blending, ensuring that F&R’s products maintain the highest standards of quality and consistency.

Good People Make Great Communicators
Few of us need to give speeches and even fewer want to hear from them, but we all have to communicate well to do our jobs well. This is especially true for those of us in service industries because our success often depends on how well we interact with people under high levels of stress, which can make monsters out of the best of us.
