Storage Solutions Made Easy - Team with the Best!
Posted by Brad Tusing on Thu, Aug 05, 2010
The United States Armed Forces is clearly the “LeBron James” of worldwide military forces. LeBron made an interesting and debatable decision recently. He chose to give up a considerable amount of money to team up with two of the strongest, most talented players in the NBA.
When you boil it down, LeBron made a business decision; a carefully calculated business decision. Military personnel make similar business decisions (as well a highly strategic, tactical and operational) decisions all the time. Wouldn’t you feel better about making a business decision that offered you two All-Star teammates, as well?
When you select a partner to supply storage solutions for your military operations, be sure to evaluate the entire team you are selecting to be a part of. Sure, everyone calls themselves the “leaders” and will claim to be “All-Stars”, but when it comes time to perform will they be the “teammates” they claimed they would be?
The question that looms the airways for sports radio talk shows is still, “Did LeBron do the right thing?”
If you can't see the video, click here.
Simple - Yes and No. (OK, not so simple but let me explain).
LeBron did the right thing by surrounding himself with the best talent. LeBron, Wade and Bosh could go down as the most powerful sports trio of all time. They could be mentioned in the same conversations as Troy Aikman, Michael Ervin and Emmit Smith; or Lou Gehrig, Earle Combes, & Babe Ruth; and even James Worthy, Magic Johnson, & Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. It’s not hard to believe how teaming with the best can lead teams and organizations to elite levels.
So, what’s the perfect trio in storage?
First, it starts with you – the customer and end-user. Your input to the team is critical in the outcome of the project. You know your operations and processes better than anyone. You are not just buying a shelf, cabinet or weapon rack; you are determining how efficiently you want your business to run.
Next is your local Spacesaver dealer – true storage experts. Not sure who that is? Simply click this link to find out. They would love to join your team. And once they join, they aren’t going anywhere. No trades or free agency here. From the initial space consultation (free of charge) to installation and beyond they will be right behind you every step of the way to ensure you are completely satisfied with your Spacesaver storage systems.
And lastly is Spacesaver – the manufacturer. We listen to your needs and storage issues and translate that into innovative storage solutions that the three of us can apply to your business and win the war on storage and give you the space you need to accomplish your objectives.
So where did King James go wrong? Because he turned this decision into the overblown media frenzy with a 1-hour, prime-time television special on ESPN, he spoiled many of the relationships he had in Cleveland and perhaps farther. Relationships aren’t just important for a team, or a season, or a project; they are important aspects of life.
Spacesaver would not be company we are today if we did not create and retain the great relationships we have with our customers and our local dealer network. We are continually working on making them stronger and stronger. And as we do, our teams (with you) will become stronger and stronger. From our engineers, to our storage consultants all the way up to our executive team, these relationships exist and continue to help us help you.
So when seeking storage solutions that best match the objectives of your mission, be sure to team with the best. The last thing you want is anyone asking if you did the right thing.
