    Get organized, organization can make the difference on how many extra employee you hire and extra ,longer hours you put in. Effects the bottom dollar!

    Hello this is great but can it be broken down by colored parts of the world
    rather than a whole in general.

    Id like to see what in my own state like Florida orange area on the map is doing
    or other colors of the map.

    Thanks, Knet
