OK.  OK.  You’re up to your knees in Poinsettia and here I am asking about your Green Plant maintenance frequency.  Hmmph!

Well, its important and I encourage you to look at how often you are doing what you do and figuring out if weekly, 10 day or 2 week intervals would work for some of your accounts.  Why?  Because this is the one thing you have control of that can and will impact your bottom line.  Yes, gas is down again, but, trust me, it will rise.  Employees are worried about jobs so the pressure for raises is low, but, trust me that will change.  The time to institute a change is at the beginning of the year after Holiday Takedown subsides.  Pull out a pen and paper and a route sheet and an Accounts List and see where you can start.

I mention this now because a TOPsider customer called to place an order (thank you Bruce) and when he heard my voice he just had to thank me for pushing him to do this.  He says it has totally changed his business for the better and put many $$ in his pocket.

You’re Welcome.
