Our last PromoTip talked about communication challenges when overseas factories troll for business in online forums. We thought a few people might be offended, but we only received one negative comment. Many appreciated us sharing on this topic. If you missed the article click here to see it.
Whenever we can stimulate thought provoking dialogue on industry issues, we are doing our job right. The one person who thought my focus on language was inappropriate, brought up great points about why this happens. This opens the door to a discussion on communication which is a good thing.

The Stephen R. Covey quote in this title pretty much sums up what I want to communicate in this Rant: "Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood."
My last Rant expressed frustration that many have with a lack of understanding overseas companies seem to have of our marketplace. These companies troll for business in social media forums. I received many positive comments on this commentary. Here are two samples:
"Thanks for reading my mind. I especially love it when I've posted on LinkedIn a few times looking for a specific item that I already know exists and I get at least a half dozen overseas suppliers asking me for specs so they can build it for me. It drives me crazy...and no, I would never do business with them."
