| K.I.S.S. and Building GIPHCC Membership  GIPHCC needs to always be encouraging others in the industry to join its ranks. Often others feel the organization really doesn't have much to offer them. Talking points to encourage them to join the group include the following:
- GIPHCC and PHCC speak for the industry on Capitol Hill on industry issues, small business issues, and involvement opportunities
- Discounts for apprentices enrolled at Mechanical Skills
- PHCC members are in the Indiana House of Representatives and Indiana Senate
- Voting member of the Plumbing Code Review Committee
- Updates on new laws
- Education--both for contractors and for apprentices
- Discounts on fuel at Speedway Super Fleet, etc.
- Promotion of the "Call a Licensed Plumber. It's the Law.
- FLAG--Find the License, Attorney General
- Newsletters, web site, 24/7 connection with others in the industry
Now comes the K.I.S.S. philosopy (Keep It Simple, Stupid); in order to encourage others to join the group, GIPHCC will offer a free visit to a lunch meeting both for the guest and for the host member. Brochure materials will be available for the guest. The guest will have a red name tag so that regular members will recognize the guest status and welcome them and make them feel at home in the group. So, show your pride in GIPHCC; invite a guest to our meetings and get a free meal yourself in the process. |
Greetings GIPHCC Members, Recently I had a conversation with an elderly gentleman who is close to 90 years young. He started his career in the sixties and had a very successful business for over 50 years. He claims the secret to his success was appropriate goal setting and a strong work ethic: both of which he still values today. He had a wonderful insight on today's political candidacy. Even with the negativity in the news, he was positive we are living in times that will mark history. As we continued to talk politics, he began to reminisce about the Reagan era. In the words of Ronald Reagan, "Entrepreneurs and their small enterprise are responsible for almost all the economic growth in the United States." He was proud that he had contributed in so many ways--not only to his community but also to his country. I too believe as Plumbing, Heating and Cooling Contractors, we have been and continue to be the heart of America's enterprise. Set your goal high, believe in the impossible, and achieve each goal one by one. Make plans to attend Indiana PHCC Convention at Belterra Resort, September 22nd and 23rd. Sincerely, Bill Fite GIPHCC President |
