A Lesson in Service from the Master


When people think of luxury service, the name Four Seasons is likely among the top brands that come to mind. It took Isadore Sharp 40 plus years to go from start-up to number one. I'm grateful that Mr. Sharp decided to let us in on how he did it, since I for one always am looking for ways to provide my clients with the best service. I also  look at profits from my real estate business as a direct benefit from putting my client's needs first. It is reassuring that this formula works right from the beginning, since it is what I've based my business on. 

So, if you are in a service business like I am, I would highly recommend reading "Four Seasons: The Story of a BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY". There are nuggets of excellent information about working with clients, partners, as well as employees.

I would love to hear what you think of this book.

Come one Come all for a night of Eco-Friendly Fun

Today is the beginning of Green Screens in Halton happening at the Encore Theatre in Oakville at Kerr and Speers. Today's presentation is the 11th Hour promising to provide the audience with a Hollywood perspective on the effects of Global Warming.

I'll be there selling two books which you can pick up for less then retail: Green Building & Remodeling for Dummies by Eric Corey Greed who is a LEED accredited architect, and  Green Cleaning for Dummies. So if you are looking for simple ways to green your home either title will provide you with a few insights.

Also CJ's Cafe in Bronte will be providing attendees with a gift as well. Blake Poland a professor of health promotion at the University of Toronto will be providing further insights to the topics being brought forward in the film.  

Come out for an enjoyable evening with like minded people for the value price of $5.00 per person. This event is also in honor of our dear friend who suddenly passed away Ron Toufar. 

A special thank you to Jeff Knowles, the owner of Encore Theatre who has graciously donated the movie theatre at no cost.
