As contractors we hear a lot of people talk about “competition”.  we like to think of it as an opportunity for “collaboration.” If you’re not talking to other contractors within your industry, you’re missing out. I’m thankful for the valued partners I have. They range from manufacturers to contractors that offer the same services as us. I talked to them all the time. We talk about ideas in the marketplace. We talk about issues and the industry. Everything we talk about is to better the industry and to better our services to the customer.
I’ll try to mention a few, but I’m sure I will leave some out. But I am thankful to all of you.
