The plan has always been ‘what’s going on in my head. I’m trying to get it down on paper to try to grow my business.’ I’m learning I’m going to have to bring other people into the organization. Now that a written plan is in the works, I’m looking forward to working on the action steps. We’ll have a blueprint to follow. As part of the marketing plan, we also received a Customer Survey that has proved to be a great document for us resulting in our own customer testimonials. — Jim McShane, President,
McShane Welding Co.
