Team-
Today I worked with Jared out in the Cropsey Home Depot. Our original game plan today was to focus on set integrity, until we noticed Dewalt was having a Demo event in the store. The gloves were thrown down, and the game was on. We held a Ridgid Demo and interacted with every customer that walked in the tool coral, and converted every customer over to R2. At the end of the day Dewalt sold $0, while our demo generated over $3,100 in sales! We promoted the demo through social media, via twitter, and received multiple likes and retweets. We also gained 5 Ridgid Contacts to help jump start Jared R2 CRM list, and PK'd his Pro Desk on New Ridgid Product, Hyperdrive, and Promos.
After lunch we focused on down stocking, and stacking out Ryobi

The following pages will include a comparison of all the benefits offered by Ace Hardware, Lowes Home Improvement, and The Home Depot, as well as, a glimpse into whether or not their strategies seem to have been successful. The majority of the benefits are available to all employees, but some of them are only available to corporate team members. To make sure that all of the available benefits are covered and for comparisons sake, the focus of this report will be on the corporate level of benefits. Also due to the wide salary ranges between low level employees and corporate employees, this report will not focus on salaries.

Paying for a foundation inspection can be worth every penny if you uncover extensive and expensive foundation damage that will cost you thousands of dollars to repair. By comparison, you are paying peanuts to find out if the home you will be buying will be a great long-term investment.

This, however, did not stop me from thinking about how to improve and expand the OJC come next summer. One thing was certain: the marketing needed to be brought to the next level. My target market was the Jewish community of Passaic, so I had a clear idea of what the average citizen was exposed to on a daily basis. In the local supermarket, I worked out a deal to have our ads distributed to every shopper. I also placed 4”x6” business cards in the kosher restaurants - in addition to the flyers I already had hanging. Within a month, there wasn’t a single member of the Passaic Jewish population who hadn’t heard of the OJC. But we needed more than awareness: we needed trust. To build trust with the community, after each job I thanked the customer and requested, if they enjoyed our services, to review us on the community Facebook group. This last move is what really took the business to another
Carpenters possess many great skills such as good business skills, detail oriented, manual dexterity, math skills, physical stamina and strength, and problem solving skills.
