>>Hail repair goes mainstream

Hail to Alberta! Or hail chasers, at least.

Recent storms in the wild rose province have pushed paintless dent repair into the mainstream. So much so that the CBC put together a feature on the subject recently.

Greetings!

I'm not sure if you noticed, but we added a new feature to the Ezine last week: look directly to the left of this text and you'll see it.

They're two buttons. One lets you forward the Ezine to a co-worker (though all your co-workers already get it, right?).

We're hoping it's of use to those of you with people working under you. If there's something in this newsletter that it's beneficial for your organization to know, we want to make it easy to share, share alike.

Similarly, we moved the subscribe button to right below the forward button so it's nice and prominent and it easy to sign up for people who get the email by forward.

To be up front about it: it's part of a larger push to get the word out about our Ezine. It's one I'm happy with though--I believe firmly that the more news our industry gets the further ahead they are when they're looking for new ways to adapt and innovate.

So if you can think of anyone who should be getting this--and you're feeling generous--consider forwarding it along and encouraging them to subscribe.

See you next week. Take care,
