Congratulations to Bill Snelson and Lakeway Tire

August 5th, 2010

Blog_BillWe would like to take a minute to congratulate one of our customers. Recently the 2010 Texas Tire Dealer of the Year award was given at the TTDA show held in Fort Worth, Texas. “This award recognizes a Texas tire dealer for their commitment and service to the tire industry in Texas and their community,” as stated by Bonnie Moreland, TTDA Past President and former recipient.  Moreland goes on to say, “We are fortunate in Texas to have several tire dealers who have demonstrated a strong dedication to the Tire Industry. However, Bill Snelson truly exemplifies what this award is all about.”  TCS could not agree more! Thank you Bill for your dedication and over 30 years of service to the tire industry. It is an honor to work by your side.

Basic Principles to Motivate Employees

July 29th, 2010

1. Motivating yourself will Motivate employees
Enthusiasm is contagious. If you enjoy your job, it helps others enjoy theirs too. If you do a good job of taking care of yourself and your own job, you will have much clearer perspective on how others are doing. You are setting an example for employees to follow.

2. Work to align goals of the organization with goals of employees
Frequent reviews and strategic goal setting sessions will help to ensure that company goals and personal goals are in alignment. Managers need to make the goals of the company very clear so an employee can be sure the goals they set will contribute to the success of the company. Employees will buy into the goals of the company when they are allowed to have input.  Goals should meet the SMART rule: Specific, Measureable, Action, Realistic and Time oriented.

3. Understand what motivates each employee
Start by evaluating what moti ...[more]

Tradehsows = Better Business!

July 23rd, 2010

How many times has your company sent you to a tradeshow? Have you gone in the past only to return feeling it was a waste of time and money? Were you prepared to be an attendee? Getting the most from a trade show requires careful preparation. These simple steps will aid you in preparing to get the most from the shows you attend.

  1. Before the Show: Make a list of goals to achieve while at the show; both company and personal. Include in those goals the booths you want to visit and the appropriate time you will require at each booth. Then decide who will be visiting those booths if more than one of your employees will be attending the show.
  2. During the Show: On arrival to the show, re-plan and then stick to your plans. Did any exhibitors not show? Are there others there you did not originally know would be in attendance? Make time to visit them as well. Finding maps of the floor and knowing show hours will aid in achieving your goals ...[more]
