On July 24th, we were one of more than a hundred exhibitors at L.A.’s LARGEST MIXER X at the historic Shrine Auditorium, next to USC.

It’s billed as Southern California’s Ultimate Networking Event, and there’s no doubt that it was.  Lots of mixer goers stopped by our booth, and we gave away a Free Growth Analysis.

cpSphere’s focus is working with small and medium size businesses so they will grow—successfully and sustainably.

In order to offer new and valuable services to smaller businesses, last month we launched a new website:

It has special programs and free resources so you can:

• INCREASE SALES
