We’re seeing it every day. Builders, project managers, field supervisors being pulled in so many different directions they can hardly find time to complete a task. Due to the earlier downturn in the housing market, many companies were forced to cut staff. The remaining employees have taken on additional tasks and responsibilities.

While completely capable, these employees are nonetheless finding it difficult to do the job that 2 or 3 or even 4 people used to do. As an employer, IMI is facing the same challenges: we are expecting more of our team members and we are continuously searching for new tools to allow us to serve you better. In this instance the tool I can provide to my clients and associates – in particular the project managers, field supervisors and all the builders – is assistance in scheduling. We know scheduling your suppliers and subcontractors is a constant struggle; therefore IMI has dedicated staff members to rework your schedules as needed.

Sometimes it rains. Sometimes buyers or homeowners change their minds. Dates change. We know that in this business you always have to expect the unexpected. Contact IMI’s scheduling staff members whenever the unexpected occurs! To improve communications, we are installing a new, state of the art phone system that will eliminate the auto attendant, with DID (Direct Inward Dial) numbers to all your contacts. We can help work with you to schedule and re-schedule as your needs dictate, so your deadlines are never missed!

Be on the lookout for further information soon…

Starting Monday, October 26th IMI’s mobile showroom will be taking to the streets! IMI’s Senior Marketing Director, Joel Bump and his son will be manning the stocked 20 ft. truck and taking it up I-94 to the northeast. Aside from the great excuse for taking a fall foliage road trip, the mobile showroom will be visiting current dealers and those interested in becoming dealers. Scheduled stops include shops in Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and more!

The mobile showroom contains almost all of IMI’s products: countertops, vanities, shower surrounds, including the 12×12 slate tile looking surround, shower bases with IMI’s ADA-Rated ramp and more! Why does everyone love to see the IMI mobile showroom coming? Because you can really get to know the products – touch them, hold them, feel them – and you get a feel for what makes IMI the reliable source it is. Our products are of the highest quality and we are proud to let you discover that fact for yourself.

Joel and the IMI mobile showroom have a little bit of free time in their road-tour schedule and we are still open to requests from builders, remodelers, hotels, spas, design firms, etc. for the mobile showroom to stop by. Think about scheduling a day and contact us by clicking here.
