"CGI has been instrumental in my marketing strategy, advising on the best contracts and how to use them to their full potential. Over the past year, I've been doing pretty well with HTAs, receiving a substantial gain, but then CGI recommended rolling them backwards. I didn't even know rolling them backwards was favorable. I gained a little of $10K in just one HTA, and an additional $15K rolling back a few 50other HTAs recently, too."
