In the beginning, we decided to sell our business ourselves! And that was an exercise in futility… With the Rua Process’ 80% success rate, we sold our business within about three months, and I was totally elated… The Rua Process works. It’s the smooth running, well-oiled gear machine… I would wholeheartedly recommend it!
