Circle of Friendship
There is a philosophy I have adopted over the years that involves the closest people in my life. I call it my Circle of Friendship and it includes family members, dear friends, key customers, and a few additional special people as well.
Whether planned or it just evolved, I realize it determines how I think about these folks, how I interact with them, what they can expect from me, and what I might expect from them. This circle is to be cared for, protected, immediately fixed if broken, and brought together on occasion to encourage possible relationships between its members. I can count on them, and they can count on me. Just consider for a moment the tremendous value in that statement!
Relationships like these are fulfilling and heartwarming on a personal level, while empowering and rewarding on a professional level. These are the customers who get special treatment because they have been with us for some time and are with us for the long haul. These are the friends and loved ones who I go hunting with or invite on our yearly fishing trip. And these are the special people who come to our Christmas party when Covid allows.
Speaking about our Christmas party, this is how I can tell that my Circle of Friendship is healthy and continues to grow. Its growth can be seen by the way the Christmas dinner table keeps getting longer each year!
I truly believe that my relationship with the individuals in this circle is much of the reason why Landscape Warehouse has been able to thrive and grow in this difficult business climate, while some others are just hanging on or are no more. It happens that this is a benefit of my philosophy, but not the reason for it. The reason is that I like people and I am blessed to have so many great people that I can call my friends.
Please stop by one or our nearby Landscape Warehouse locations. Yes, you’ll get quality products at affordable prices. But I can guarantee, you will also get the most knowledgeable and friendliest service in town.
