No matter what type of business you are in, we all share one universal issue: How do we find the "Right People" to hire? For those of you that don't know, I define" Right People" as people who enhance our culture. I speak about this in more detail in episodes 44 and 45. Finding new "Right People" is an issue we are currently faced with at my company, Blackmore Enterprises, Inc. The good news is we are growing, the bad news is we are having issues with finding the "Right People" to help us

If you have ever listened to this show, you have heard me say “Be the best you can be by being the best in this industry.” You also have heard me say “make the industry better because you are in it.” So... are you? This was the reason I started this podcast. Scaling UP! H2O is my way of raising the bar in the water treatment industry. Based on the feedback I have received, I think we are doing that.

Have you ever thought about what our water treatment control equipment allows us to do? Yes, it feeds our products and bleeds the system, but what it really does is allow us to go home! If we did not have something monitoring our program 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, we would have very different job. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to sleep in a mechanical room!

2018/11/16

I’m willing to bet that when you think about public speaking, you get nervous or at least a bit uncomfortable. The great Google says it is one of the top fears that most of us share. And who can argue with Google? I remember the first time I gave a water treatment speech in front of some of my father’s clients. It was not very good. In fact, it was downright bad. However, that was my first, not my last. To date I have spoken hundreds of times on water treatment topics. And..

It doesn't matter what your job title is, you are a sales person. Now granted, some are better that it than others, but we are all in sales no matter what we do. I like to look at sales as something we do to help solve a problem for someone else. Many look at it as I need to make this person do this, so I can make some money. To those who say this, I say that if you motive is to help, the money will come, and you will have a lot more fun in the process. Dan Jourdan calls himself the Sales

One of my philosophies is “teach what you know.” Which works out great for me because I have this podcast. I have always felt you know something better when you can teach it. As a teacher, you must be able to convey your point to who you are speaking with, anticipate their questions and make sure you increase the listening party's overall knowledge of the subject matter. Truth be told, this is how I sell. I sell by educating the client on what they should expect. If the client is already getting

Day 2 of Industrial Water Week is here! Today we celebrate by answering a few questions about boilers and I am joined by one of my mentors, Bruce Ketrick, CWT. Here are the questions we are answering today. What causing foaming in a boiler? Foaming is primarily caused by high solids. As the boiler concentration increases, the boiling bubble cannot “pop” as quickly and they begin to build up on each other. Forming a creamy foam. This can be solved by lowering the concentration or reducing other
