ABOUT RICK HAMILTON

Started three businesses and worked for a very large multinational during my career. Honestly, I like the excitement of operating a small business and building it to potential. All three businesses are still going strong and so is the multinational. The only difference is they don\'t miss me at the multinational. In fact they are a large customer of mine and have been for years. I like taking a project from inception to completion, especially working with the staff and being able to nurture their careers so they can grow as independents. My business philisophy is - Have a good idea, exhaustively research the opportunity. organize a game plan, put enough finances in place, hire excellent people and treat every sale as the best sale you ever had. And do this over and over again. No big secrets to share, just hard work. My business priorities are employees, customers, suppliers in that order. Without dedicated employees you can\'t have satisfied customers. Without strong supplier support you cannot meet your customer needs, and without customers you cannot be in business. We consider our product as only one part of the sale. The value we add, is being able to understand the customer\'s needs, provide a solution and manage the entire process from beginning to end - over and over again. One of our largest customers said it best \"We take the chaos out of the purchase decision.\"
