After a 7 month employment stint with Prospect Marketing Group (aka business leader, in touch today, opportunity world, castle advertising etc..) I, the Thrifty Guru am back to working from home. Yes, today I got a call from PMG CEO Eran Salu’s partner Mike Plotnik who informed me gently, but sternly that PMG has decided [...]
