A4 Goes Green with Recycled Polyester
A4, manufacturer of premium sportswear and team uniforms, is now making all its most popular apparel, and the vast majority of its line, with recycled polyester.
FULL STORYDecorated-apparel industry veteran and business expert Mark Coudray has introduced a business-development system called “The Catalyst Plan” to help business owners take their companies to the next level.
Coudray has been active in the decorated apparel industry for 45 years. He owned his own award-winning screen-printing operation and has written hundreds of articles that have appeared in many of the industry’s top magazines. He has regularly presented seminars at industry events such the Imprinted Sportswear Shows (ISS) and the Specialty Graphic Imaging Association (SGIA) Expo, among others. He has worked as a consultant both inside and outside the decorated-apparel industry.
Coudray’s Catalyst Accelerator is designed to create accelerated growth, increased profitability and positive cash flow for companies of all sizes. Combining online learning modules with weekly coaching and accountability calls, the system is designed to help companies accomplish as much in six months as they normally would in two to three years, according to Coudray.
The Catalyst Plan begins with a weekly learning module that lasts about an hour, but is broken into six 10-minute sections that are delivered online on the Catalyst Learning Platform. Each session comes with a weekly homework assignment designed to improve sales and profitability. Subsequent sessions build on homework from the previous week so a time commitment is necessary for success. Results happen very quickly and usually begin to appear in 30 days or less.
During the pilot period for this program, more than 100 companies participated and benefited significantly. Those interested are encouraged to visit the website to see if the program is a good fit for them.
