Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.
One, you're doing what’s called a roll-up, I’m buying that business I’m rolling it up in my mind I’m taking their name off the side of the truck or the side of the wall, off the side of the building and it’s now my name. You have just, you have two offices or you buy it you leave the name on it. So every time that you're submitting a proposal for a project they’re submitting one also. What do people do? They like to get three competing bids or in some cases five competing bids, well how would you like to have two dogs in that fight instead of one. Instead of one out of three how would you like to be the two companies out of three or the two companies out of five,mreally stacks the deck in your favor. Organic growth, strategic alliance growth, acquisition growth the reason why we focus on this today is we’re in a down market, access is your hardest challenge it’s not price, it’s not process, it’s not product, it’s not supply chain, it’s access to decision makers.
