Seacliff Electric Ltd.’s Post

Long-term relationships are all we know. From our clients to our teammates. We have decades-long relationships with our clients. And we have employees who have been with us since the 90s. Most of our employees have been with us for 15-20 years. How did we do this? Prioritizing long-term relationships. And that's the name of the game at Robinson Brothers. Long-term relationships > Short-term transactional relationships. And that's not changing anytime soon. #robinsonbrothers #construction

It’s the only way to solve problems

Rather than trying to be the cheapest, focus on your worth, the value proposition, and protecting the brand! #RacetotheBottom #PricingStrategy #Marketing #Accounting #Sales #Operations #BusinessConsulting #BusinessManagement #SMBs #8FurlongConsulting https://lnkd.in/et9dui2Q

We connect every decision we make to our values. We ask ourselves: ⮕ Does this advocate for the client first?  We’re not about steering clients in a direction that is not in their best interest. Lining our pockets (or someone else’s) is not our game. ⮕ Is there a chance that this will cause issues down the road?  We don’t make empty promises and will openly communicate all risks associated with every decision. There is no gatekeeping or ulterior motive. ⮕ Have we communicated clearly with our client, team, and collaborators? It’s important to protect our partnerships with everyone involved. Clear lines of communication creates trustworthy and long-lasting relationships. Our values are what have kept Donatelli Builders in business for over 35 years — they’re our non-negotiables, our North Star, guiding us to the right partnerships. If you feel aligned with our values, get in touch! We’re always broadening our network of integrity-driven professionals in the Chicago area. #luxuryhomes #chicagoluxuryhomes #chicagohomebuilder #chicagoland #chicagolandrealestate

When we started Arrow Roofing Services a decade ago, we had big dreams but humble beginnings.🏘️ We faced our fair share of challenges, from tough competition to unpredictable weather. But through it all, we remained steadfast in our commitment to excellence.✅ While some businesses in our industry focused on quick wins and flashy achievements, we took a different approach. We knew that momentary triumphs don't measure true success but by the skills we cultivate. With each roof, we repaired and every customer we served, we built something more valuable than any accolade: Expertise that no one could ever take from us!🤝🏻 As the years passed, our reputation grew, not because of rented success but because of the trust we earned through hard work and dedication. Reflecting on our journey, we're proud of how far we've come. We've weathered literal and metaphorical storms and emerged stronger than ever. But our journey is far from over. We're still committed to continually building lasting skills to improve and evolve as a business. So, thank you to everyone who's been a part of our journey, whether as a customer, a partner, or a team member.🙏🏻 Your support has been invaluable as we've grown and thrived. And to those who are just beginning their entrepreneurial journey, remember this: Success is about the skills you build, the relationships you cultivate, and the legacy you leave behind. Ready to join us on the next leg of our journey? Reach out today, and let's build something truly remarkable together! 💪 #arrowroofing #roofingindustry #buildingexcellence #legacybuilding

"Who is the competition on this project?", I asked our estimator, circa 2005. The answer wasn't what I expected to hear: "Just a small guy that rents his equipment, nobody to worry about." I replied, "You know, that comment describe ME 'to a T' thirteen years ago, and 𝐰𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮." And that was true -- 13 years before this conversation, I had left HE Sargent and started Sargent & Sargent with my brother, Shane. It was a hardscrabble start, and -- you guessed it -- we had to rent all that equipment. But 13 years later we bought HE Sargent. My comment wasn't intended to humiliate him, just to drive home a point. It was at that time I printed the Mark Twain passage from 𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑢𝑡 𝑌𝑎𝑛𝑘𝑒𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝐾𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝐴𝑟𝑡ℎ𝑢𝑟'𝑠 𝐶𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑡, and had it framed for all the estimators in the office. A couple recent posts, one from James Starbuck and one from Garrett Moss, both have gotten me thinking about the above exchange, and how we can get comfortable -- sometimes TOO COMFORTABLE. In James's post, he mentioned visiting China and the equipment being built there. In the comments was a lot of chatter about Caterpillar Inc., and how it feels like they're making us work harder to defend their place in the market (because of their exorbitant pricing), versus being the raving fans we really want to be. In Garrett's post, he mentioned being dismissed by a company several years ago, then growing his business several times their size, while being badgered by them to change his website. Many Goliaths have either ceased to exist, or have become husks of their former selves -- Bethlehem Steel, Kodak, just to name a couple. This has all reminded me that customers will work with you (and 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑦𝑜𝑢, some), as long as they don't resent how much they have to defend you. It's also reminded me that dismissing anyone's potential as a competitor could come back to haunt you in a very big way. Sometimes the worst swordsman in the world can take you by surprise. #investinginpeople #sargent #sargentesop #buildalifewithus

Reflecting on a day of Valuable Insights! As the CEO of Falcon Contract Flooring Sales Ltd, I often find myself immersed in strategic planning and business operational development. However, today, I decided to take a step back from the spreadsheets and meetings to reconnect with the heart of our company—our installers. I’ve always known the calibre of work our teams deliver, but there’s something incredibly grounding about seeing it up close. Sharing moments with our installers, understanding the intricacies of their challenges, and celebrating their triumphs has been enlightening. I must admit that the growth of Falcon, inadvertently distanced me from these invaluable interactions and I have missed them! But I’ve come to realise that these face-to-face engagements are not just beneficial for our camaraderie; they’re crucial for our collective success. The individuals I met today are more than just installers; they are the artisans of our industry and the architects of our future. Their commitment and expertise are the driving forces behind Falcon’s ascent. I am committed to ensuring that these site visits become a regular part of my routine. It’s not just about oversight; it’s about showing respect, offering support, and building relationships that elevate us all. To the remarkable people who make Falcon Contract Flooring what it is, thank you. Your hard work doesn’t just make us tick—it makes us soar… 🦅🦅 #Leadership #Gratitude #Teamwork #FalconFamily #FCF #Carpet #Carpetinstallers #Carpetfitting
