Like our Jill of All Trades mentioned in Part 1 of this series, Hiring for Tomorrow: The Set Up, finding qualified candidates is a lot more involved than posting an ad – especially so if you want someone that will stand the test of time. But before you cast your net, how do you decide […]
Read MoreThis week, I’d like to play a game with you. But first, a little background.. I’ve loved icebreaker games for as long as I can remember. Yes, the initial awkwardness that is inherent to all “getting-to-know-you” games is, well, awkward. I don’t love that, but who does? But what I love is the challenge to […]
Read MoreOnce upon a time, there was a company. They weren’t a giant corporation, but they weren’t a rinky-dink operation either. This company was just right. The just-right company spent thousands of hours researching, testing, and tweaking its products. They invested in technology to streamline processes and be a better customer resource.

Read MoreWhen was the last time you made an excuse? Personally, I really hate hearing them. And yes I make them, too. But it isn’t without being fully aware once one escapes my lips – and trying like hell to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Excuses are like quicksand. The more frequently you make them, […]
Read MoreI recently sold to a customer who hadn’t purchased from us before. I’m sure this happens daily at your business or shop, and, believe me, it does here, too, but this sale was different.
