Statistics may be boring to some, but to other savvy entrepreneurs they unlock hidden riches! The key is knowing which statistics are critical to YOUR business, and which ones are irrelevant.

Business Magazines invites you to a series of lunch seminars in April and May entitled “Using Statistics to Grow Your Business”, featuring Dr. Sungha Lim. The seminars will be held in four major cities in the United States.

Dr. Lim is the director of the U.S. Business Economics Association and is also the winner of last year’s National Business Book Award.

2. April 23 - East Gate Tower Suite (Chicago)
3. May 5 - Park South Lodge (Dallas)
4. May 15 – Candlewood Inn (Los Angeles)
The seminar will be held from 9:30 to 5:00 at each location. Registration is $250 per person. Your registration fee will cover the workbook and other reference materials, instructor fees, refreshments, lunch, the use of meeting rooms, and other experiences.

Date: May 2
Subject: Your Seminar

Dear Dr. Lim

I was very glad to see the announcement on your upcoming seminars in the newspaper. I used to read your columns with much interest years ago when you wrote for the Business Korea Weekly magazine. I also found your book Evaluating Statistics very helpful for my business. I greatly admire your work. I am excited to hear that you will be here in Dallas on May 5.

Since I work in the field of advertising, I would like to learn more about the use of statistics in advertising, and I was hoping you will talk about it in the seminar. Could you tell me if you’re planning to cover this topic in your seminar?

Best regards,
Anthony Grant
