Trouble?

If Brian does not deliver, what you expect, consider the following:

  • If he doesn’t know the industry, Brian provides an Excel file where you can find the most relevant industry and adjust it in cell C4.
  • Hint: If you are not sure about the industry, just check the Peer list for relevant companies and to which industry/industries are these allocated to.
