BOLTON businessmen and women are 'sold' on an idea designed to increase sales and retail success for Farnworth companies.

The scheme, a first for Farnworth, is being organised by Bolton Business Ventures Limited, and takes place weekly.

Its aim is to benefit retail businesses regardless of size of company, or what the product is.

Profits

And according to its promotional leaflet, items addressed include: introducing four foolproof ways of increasing profits; the three most important questions in marketing; the eight indisputable ways to increase sales; a stream of successful, inexpensive, cost effective ideas to improve a business; the essential building blocks of selling; how to turn complaints to your advantage and how to use the telephone to maximum advantage.

About 20 Farnworth bosses are attending the weekly sessions and further information is available from the Bolton Business Centre on 391400.
