Established in 1984

In 1984, adult "ed" was very much a grassroots phenomenon.  Teachers taught informal classes in their homes. I paid close attention to student evaluations & hired the very best teachers I could find.  I shared with teachers the idea that First Class, Inc's reputation rested solely on their shoulders. Six months after I opened, a NYC program opened their doors. It  seemed that their was no end to their money.  I have never been so scared about the future of the business.  I used every tightwad marketing trick in the book.  I was often up until 1am putting flyers on cars! In 1991, the much-touted competitor filed for bankruptcy.  What I want to tell entrepreneurs who are facing national competition is: "You can do it."  Here are my tips for braving the storm:  brains beat bucks every time--use creativity to capture customers, get to know the names of your customers, respond to their problems quickly  fairly, do all the little extra things that  customers love-it makes a BIG difference.
