NADRA Atlanta June 2012 chapter meeting recap NADRA Share    
I wanted to express my sincere thanks to all of those that came out this past Tuesday evening to the Atlanta Chapter meeting. It was a great success! As I mentioned during the early part of the meeting we are beginning the process of our "Deck for A Solider" build this year. Scott McCawley (Dixie Plywood) has agreed to head up this effort and will be working with Frank Pologruto to coordinate the build. Please contact Scott or Frank if you are interested in participating. We are looking at the calendar and will initiate the project in late August or early September. To read the full recap and view some photos from the night, please check out NADRA's Blog.

Michael here from NADRA HQ ... As many of you know, Legacy Services, LLC is the team behind NADRA.

Both for the association we serve, and for business solutions that will support other small, family owned businesses just like our own. We still need over 150 votes in order to qualify for this grant and we just have a few days left. The funding will help us grow our programs with new and efficient office equipment and the means to implement, train and maintain a larger team here at Legacy.

More Babcock Lumber names TimberTech Vendor of the Year TimberTech Share

What a secret this is! The overwhelmingly popular marketplace perception is "We don't market during the summer; everyone's on vacation." Actually the warm-weather months provide myriad marketing opportunities. People vacation for an average of one week, and there are 13 weeks to summer. Getting people out of the office, creating and building relationships, staying in touch — that's what good marketing is all about. Don't fall victim to conventional wisdom! For those in the "outdoor industries," continual marketing becomes quite a challenge. After all, you're there to make hay while the sun shines. Just remember that one sales follow-up and one client/customer check-in call per week will keep you marketing consistently during the summer, and you'll hit the ground running the day after Labor Day.

As the up-and-coming vice president and CEO candidate for a Fortune 500 technology corporation sat before the CEO for his annual review, he was baffled to discover that the feedback from his peers, customers, direct reports and particularly from board members placed unusual emphasis on one potentially devastating problem: His listening deficit. This executive was widely considered among the best and brightest in his company, but it was evident that this issue needed immediate attention if he ever hoped to advance to the top spot. More |
