I received this email today from Beth Armknecht Miller of Executive Velocity Inc. As I read it I realized that this is the time of the year to replenish. Wouldn’t you agree?

It is that time of the year once again, the clocks fall back as trees shed their leaves. I have always marveled at a deciduous plant’s ability to shed itself in the fall and then reemerge in the spring with new energy. The process allows plants to conserve water during the winter months and provides them with the opportunity to repair leaves damaged during the spring and summer by harsh weather and insects. And for flowering plants, losing their leaves provides them with an increased effectiveness in pollination the following year yielding more seeds to insure for survival and an increased population.
So if shedding leaves has so many benefits to plants and trees, what can we learn from Mother Nature? Why do so many professionals continue to take on more and more in their lives, both personally and professionally? 
 
What can you shed from your long list of “to do’s”? How would it feel if you planned time to rest and repair? And as a leader, what would be the benefits of encouraging your high performers of shedding some of their “to dos” off their list?
 
The past eighteen months has been a challenging time for executives and business owners as well as line employees, all of whom have had to take on more versus less.  How on earth, you wonder, can you take time to rest and replenish?
 
One of my favorite books is The Power of Full Engagement, and it outlines a process of energy management and renewal.  If you haven’t had the opportunity to read this book yet, I would highly recommend doing so. This book is one that I read once a year to reinforce the importance of replenishing and managing my personal energy to becoming increasingly more effective.

What’s your plan to re-energize?

Happy Thanksgiving!

 I’m looking forward to reading this book and becoming re-energized.

We’ve been hearing it on the news, from friends even from our own mouths as we walk the aisles at the grocery store and balk at what we see. Prices have gone up. Seems to be a paradoxical occurrence in a down economy, doesn’t it? Many companies in all industries are also eliminating freebies, extras, bonuses or bulk values. This is probably a more expected sign of the times. One thing we don’t think you should have to expect or deal with is any decrease in the service you receive!

As a business professional we know you are dedicated to giving your clients the best customer service possible, and you expect the same from the vendors who serve you. You don’t make excuses, and neither do we. The staff of International Marble Industries Inc. (IMI) has always been dedicated to excellent customer service, quick turnaround times and affordable quality products.

IMI guarantees a 48 hour response time, and a typical five day lead time on products. How often have you heard the word “guarantee” lately? IMI also promises to get your quotes to you accurately and on-time. What’s on-time? How about within 24 hours of receiving the information? That’s fast!

Would your clients like:

• To make color selections with an IMI professional in a dedicated design center?
• To have professional installers in their home, not just contracted laborers?
• To have products that are warrantied by not only your company, but by the manufacturer as well?

Would you like:

• To work with a company who was the first in the industry to offer the fastest lead time?
• To work with a company that is a member of the ACMA, ICPA, NARI, GAHB & NAHB?
• To work with a company that will do the measure AND the install for you?
• To work with a company that actually loves to speak with your clients and answer their questions?
• To work with a company that offers Certified Aging-In-Place Professionals to consult with you or your clients?

IMI is a company you and your clients can trust. We’re not letting economic downturns or pricing upturns change our dedication to excellence. Simply put, we’re offering a great product brought to you by great people. It’s a basic philosophy that has served us well over the years. Come back to the basics. Come to IMI.

…or we’ll surely hang separately, right?

Such seems to be the world right now. It’s a dog eat dog world. In the building business we’re consistently seeing our friends and colleagues lose jobs, lose businesses even lose homes. It’s not pretty. We’re looking for ways to stretch our dollar, find the niche in the market and keep ourselves going at least one more day.

As a business that sells to businesses – we want to see everyone succeed! So why not get together? Hang together? We’re really trying to think outside the box and would love to hear from other businesses that are doing the same.

• What have unusual method have you tried in this down economy to get or keep your clients?

We’d like to talk about some of the BEST ideas in our upcoming IMI Newsletter. We’d like to tout your business and give you some free PR on all our social media sites. So what do you say? What have you got to lose? We simply hope you might find a reason to tout all the neat stuff IMI is doing too.
