MAR 2018 – President’s Article by Scott Welsh

/in /by

Make March The Month You Become a Champion of Local Business!

Now is a great time to double down on your commitment to Shop Local.  In accepting this position, I made a commitment to lead by example, and my family will consider a locally owned business with every purchase.  This doesn’t mean that we will never eat at In-N-Out, or buy a backpack online, but we will choose to spend our hard earned dollars locally first.

Studies of the business of business show that shopping local is the single biggest key to a thriving community.  A much bigger portion of every dollar you spend locally gets re-circulated into the local economy. In fact, almost 70% of the locally spent dollars stay in the community compared to less than 40% spent with big box retailers. And 0% when you shop online!

That is a BIG deal.

Think about this:  local businesses are more likely to employ local workers who support their families, contract with local marketing and other services like plumbers, electricians, and accountants, and those local businesses also are more likely to spend those dollars locally as well.  A wonderful cycle of events is created when you keep your dollars local.  Local businesses are also much more likely to support local non-profits and service organizations like the Boys and Girls Club of Redlands, Redlands Family Services and the Chamber of Commerce.

And when that local money is taxed each time, our local government can provide improvements in beautification and in our quality of life here in Redlands.

So I challenge all of us – all 600 plus Chamber members – to make just one more purchase decision each week with a local business.  Imagine the change we can make! It will pump tens of thousands of dollars into our local economy – just by supporting each other.  It’s a simple concept when you really think about it.

So, next time you are hungry, think about the Tartan, Eureka! Burger, Rok n Fondue or Darby’s, or any number of awesome locally owned and operated restaurants in town.  The next time you are about to make an online purchase, ask yourself “can I buy this locally?”  Together, we can make a great impact.

Shop Local.  Do it now.  Do it every day.

MAR 2018 – Member Profile – Redlands Cyclery, USA

/in /by

Thinking of buying a new bicycle? One of your first choices, and not necessarily an easy one, will be where to shop. It can be a challenge because there are a myriad of stores that carry two-wheelers, from specialty retailers, to giant department stores, to backyard garage operations.

Where you buy, however, has everything to do with what you get. You see, bicycles aren’t like toasters or suitcases. Bikes are shipped in boxes and they must be assembled and tuned.

There are many types, too, and you should never buy until you’ve figured out which is right for you. Measurements and adjustments are required to ensure the frame is the correct size and that the seat and handlebars are properly positioned. And, every new bicycle will need a minor tune-up after several weeks of use.

What’s more, modern road and mountain bikes can travel at high speeds and carry you over demanding terrain where the machine’s materials and construction get tested. A quality two-wheeler, carefully assembled and fit to you will be the safest, most durable and fun bicycle to ride.

For these reasons, the team at Cyclery USA strongly recommends shopping at a good specialty bicycle store in our area. They offer competent salespeople and expert mechanics who’ll ensure that you get the right bike and a quality machine.

Cyclery USA offers a wide selection of bicycles for different people and uses. And they provide expert assistance in selecting the proper bike type and model. For example, a road bike makes little sense if your plan is to tackle dirt trails. Likewise, if you’re into cruising, you certainly don’t need to test ride racing rigs. You need the bike type that’s right for you, and our experienced staff will listen to you and help you choose.

Bicycles come in different sizes. And they’re very adjustable. The helpful folks at Cyclery USA find the right frame size for you and then dial in the fit by positioning the seat and handlebars, brake levers and shifters as required. This ensures comfort and that you’re in complete control of your bike for safety. There are many variables, too: If you need a softer saddle, they’ll put one on. If you prefer to sit more upright, they can accommodate you. Their goal is to make your new bike as comfortable to ride and as easy to pedal as possible. They have years of experience in fitting bikes to riders and we’ll get yours fitting so good it disappears beneath you.

You might be surprised to learn that bicycles are not completely assembled at the factory. It’s true. They’re actually delivered to us disassembled and in a box, and Cyclery mechanics spend about an hour (depending on the model) assembling, tuning and testing every bike (at no additional charge to you). This is required by the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission and they pride themselves in meeting the highest standards. What’s more, the technicians and tech department are always prepared to make adjustments and provide advice should you need assistance during a purchase or after a sale.

How do you know if that new rig is the right ride for you? The best test, and the truest way to judge a bike, is by taking a spin on it. Roll down the street and shift through the gears. Feel how the frame fits your legs and arms. Try the brakes. Stand up and climb. Coast a bit. Does the bike feel comfortable, easy to pedal, smooth? Is it quiet? Do you like the ride? Make some mental notes and return to our shop to try some others. Cyclery USA is happy to let you compare bikes and get a feel so you find the perfect machine.

Staffed by knowledgeable and enthusiastic cyclists our team loves to share their expertise. Need to learn how to shift, fix a flat, carry gear, pump your tires? Want to find the best places to ride or friends to pedal with? Just ask, and they’ll be more than happy to help.

Bicycles are machines that require maintenance. One of the most important services is the first tune-up, which is due after you’ve ridden your new bike for a few weeks. During this time, cables might stretch, spokes may loosen and adjustments could change. For your new rig to ride right and last as long as possible, they provide free tune-ups for the first year, where we thoroughly check all systems (a $50.00) value, depending upon the work required).

Cyclery USA stands behind every bike they sell. If something goes wrong, bring it in and they’ll be happy to deal with it. In the rare event of a breakdown, there’s also a manufacturer’s warranty protecting your purchase.

Cycling’s most fun when you have the right gear to go along with that new bike. The store is loaded with top-quality accessories and equipment such as helmets, locks, pumps, hydration systems, computers, and plenty of other goodies designed to help you enjoy riding. And, always happy to advise which choices are right for you.

 

Whether you are a beginner or pro… Cyclery USA is the one stop shop for bike enthusiasts. Stop by and visit at415 Tennessee or give them a call at 7922422. Visit www.Cyclery USA.com to learn more about the world of cycling from our local experts.

 

 

MAR 2018 – Networking – make the most of being in a room with others

/in /by

Some of us dread going to an event where we feel forced to interact with others.  It can be awkward, uncomfortable, and outright difficult to just to get the gall to try and start a conversation.  We’ve probably all been there; scanning the room in hopes that someone comes up to us first.

The reality is that networking can be viewed as a necessary pain that one must tolerate, or as a great opportunity to expand their client base, develop business partnerships, find a better job, or simply make a name for themselves within the community.

Whether your intentions are for social or business purposes, networking can be intimidating for even the most extrovert individuals.  Yet the logic follows that the more people you meet, the larger your network grows, which leads to a greater chance of finding the best customers, partners, employers, or employees.

A bit of preparation before your next networking event can set you apart from the rest of the pack. Here are some tips to make your next event a success.

Go with a goal in mind. When attending a networking event, always have a goal in mind. What exactly do you want to gain by attending this event? What is your end game? Maybe your objective is to get information on a specific company or perhaps it’s to meet and introduce yourself to five new people.  Set yourself up with reasonable expectations and take a little bit of time to plan out a strategy to reach these goals.

Do your homework. If there are individuals or guest speakers you would like to introduce yourself to, do some research online and learn more about them, as well as their business.  One of the most effective research and networking tools right now is LinkedIn. Check out their profile to find out some basic information about them and to also look for possible common connections.

Introduce yourself. We’ve established that networking events can be a bit awkward and conversations may not come as naturally as you’d like. However, you’ve got to start somewhere. Before going into the event take a deep breath, relax, and walk in with a smile. Try to make it a point to introduce yourself to at least five people.  If you and all the other attendees are told to wear a nametag, use that to your advantage. A great way to find out more about the networking event, as well as who is involved, is to seek out the event organizer and introduce yourself.  They’ll likely know quite a few people in attendance and can possibly introduce you to others organizations to get you off on the right foot.

Connect others.  Don’t just focus on making our own connections; make an effort to connect others. If you’re speaking with someone, let’s say John, and know of another individual, Jane for instance, who might be interested in what John has to offer, be the mediator and get them together. By helping them both, they may pay it forward in the future, and connect you with an individual or business that could benefit from you.

Don’t be a spammer. Nobody wants to be friends with the person who is shoving their product or business card down people’s throats.  Do not force your product on to people. Networking events should never be used as a way to directly sell or promote your products. Your goal should be to obtain potential leads. Also, if you are just handing out your business card to anyone who looks your way, you’re pretty much wasting that asset.  If you haven’t built enough of a connection with someone that they personally ask for your contact information, don’t just give them your business card.

Be yourself. Never try to be something or someone you’re not.  Be yourself or you’ll be building these new business relationships on a lie. When attending networking events, it is important that you stay genuine and true to yourself. Don’t try to be the person you think others want to do business with.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions. The only way to truly get to know someone is to truly be interested in who they are and ask them genuine questions.  After the conversation is over, you can guarantee they’ll feel good knowing that you whole-heartedly listened and were interested in getting to know them a little better than surface level.  Look for common interests to lay the foundation down for future business relationships.

Eye contact.  During a conversation, make sure you remain engaged and attentively listening to the other individual. Nod your head and tilt your body towards them when speaking. Body language and eye contact are crucial in communication; it can either make the other feel like you care or make you seem distant. You always want to seem trustworthy and make others feel comfortable.  This is one of the best techniques to use to build a positive rapport with others.

Join in. There is nothing wrong with easing yourself into a conversation and using this to lead into an introduction.  This is a networking event.  People may in fact enjoy the change in direction and the chance to meet someone new.  If you sense that you’ve accidentally entered into a serious or personal discussion, it’s okay to politely excuse yourself.  Keep in mind that spending time engaged in meaningful conversations with a few people can be better than floating around the room and spending time on superficial ones.

Prepare your elevator pitch.  Be prepared for questions like, “What do you do?” or “What are your future goals?”  You don’t want to be caught off guard so make sure you already have a few ideas lined up that you can use to accurately describe yourself or your business.  Practice what you want to say beforehand, but when it comes to the day of the event don’t sound like you’ve been rehearsing for weeks.  Do not be a robot.

Also, take into consideration why the person you’re speaking to should care about what you’re saying, and then craft your pitch accordingly. This is your time to really shine and leave an impression, so make sure you take advantage of this moment.

Follow up within 72 hours. If you have made a business connection and promised to send information, do so within 72 hours after the event.

Networking, like any other professional skill, requires constant training and development.  Don’t beat yourself down if you haven’t mastered it yet.  Networking isn’t just something that you can perfect over night.  Also, don’t be intimidated by others who seem like natural born “networkers”. They aren’t and probably just had a lot of practice. The more events you attend the better you’ll get at it.

125 years! The Redlands Chamber of Commerce celebrates 125 years of serving the Redlands business community and providing a platform for businesses and non-profits alike.  Whereas businesses and the community have changed dramatically since 1893, one thing remains the same: the Chamber’s commitment to connecting business managers and owners in a way that no other networking group can do.

With over 600 members, the Redlands Chamber has quite a few more members than 1893, but we remain a local first-name basis group of committed individuals to help make your business successful. Look over the list of member businesses, and you will learn that you are in great company!   The Chamber has so many opportunities to learn and help  grow your corner of the market.

Make February your month to commit to one of the fantastic networking and sponsorship opportunities available to put your business in front. Rise N Shine happens every first Friday of the month at 7:00 am.  Fill your cup with updates from all sides of the city and meet new businesses owners who are excited to get up early and get their business moving. Also, Business to Business networking every fourth Tuesday of the month hosts 40+ businesses you can learn from and network with.

Lee Iacocca once remarked “There are three kinds of people in the world, those who make it happen, those who watch it happen, and those who wonder: what just happened??” Here’s to making it happen in 2018!
