Schools are not a commodity....

Schools Are Not A Commodity So Why Do Some Companies Think They Are?

It's that time of year when Mary and I attend a lot of Principal, Board and Teacher conferences.  As such we run into many of the same vendors show after show.  This is one of my favourite times of year.  Lots of action, lots of pages coming in, graduation cap and gown orders being placed and diploma products delivering.  Best of all I have a front row seat to our fellow vendors and competition.  Many look tired and speak excitedly of the year coming to the end.  I don't get it.  If you are in the business of helping people why do you want to take the summer off?  If the daily travel is getting you down why are you in this business?  We are always the first vendor to show up and the last to leave. We often watch the other vendors push their way through the crowd of people they came to meet and tear down their displays thirty minutes before the end of the conference.  Sad really, but drives home the famous Zig Ziglar matra "You can have everything you want in life if you just help enough other people get what they want".  True back in the 70's when Zig was sharing his thoughts with the world, true now.   This is a great business with great people.  Glad to be here and excited for the next few weeks. #yearbooksuccess
