Joan Jackson briefly spoke on the area of public rela tions in the place of Yvette Alston who could not be there Talking to the audience Ms. Hen derson pointed out that the key to marketing is finding the unsatisfied customer. After that, she proceeded to numerate four basic points of a good marketing plan. They included considering the nature of the busi ness, the size of the business, the location of the business and the time suitability for the product that is being sold. When she commented on person nel end of a business, she empha sized the point that the employee is the greatest asset to any company and should be treated with respect. Mrs. Anderson's advice on real estate covered finding a location ' that was easily accessible, but add ed that before a site has been found, a prospective business owner shotild know the labor force and the market of the area he or she would like to establish a business. Good record keeping and paying taxes on time to avoid occurring penalties and interest was Mrs Neal’s advice for the financial area of a business. “A sound insurance protection plan is just as good for the suc cess of a business as anything else ." And with that piece of advice, Ms Anthony emphasized the importance of not underinsuring Ms. Vaughn, noted the impor tance of having a lawyer in cases of partnerships and tax implications, but more importantly she advised the audience to find a lawyer with whom they felt comfortable Once the seminar was completed, the group broke for lunch and a question and answer period Hadio Heading Service To Continue With the promise of non-state money to continue its Radio Read ing Service for the visually handi capped, Central Piedmont Com munity College (CPCC) will con tinue the service on a limited sched ule for the month of July. The free service, which broad casts the reading of newspapers, books, and other materials to the visually handicapped in Mecklen burg County, was to be discontinued as the result of severe cutbacks in CPCC’s state budget Dr. Richard Hagemeyer, Presi dent of CPCC, said he is confi dent the private source of funding will come through with enough money to continue the service. Ne vertheless, in addition to operating on a limited schedule, the service will rely heavily on volunteer read- i ers for the next month. Other cutbacks at CPCC include | reduced hours at its four area learning centers, and the tempor ary lay-off of seven full-time people ( and an indefinite number of part time employees. "The decision to discontinue the Radio Reading Service was one of the most difficult that had to be made,” Dr. Hagemeyer said. "But we've had to eliminate many things that do not directly result in students, because the number of stu dents we serve this year will have a direct bearing on our budget next year. Every one of our scarce dollars must go into serving stu dents.” The Mecklenburg Association for the Blind estimates there are more than 5,000 visually handicapped citizens in Mecklenburg County.
