The Sincerest Form of Flattery by Ed Pecinka

It has been said that Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
We have all seen things that have impressed us to make them part of our daily lives.

 

A mentor once told me that in his mind, LISTENING was the sincerest for of flattery. Customers, friends, your family all are looking for that “special someone” who will take the time to really listen.  I found it ironic that one of feature courses that is part of the Certified Professional Manufacturers Representative program, that we have sent our people to teaches you listening skills.

In today’s fast pace world, where it is difficult to have a conversation without someone checking their phone for the next email, text, tweet or Facebook posting, communicating and “truly listening” is becoming a lost art.

The information you get from a real conversation is priceless. Listening to the tone of someone’s voice you can tell if they are joking, being sarcastic, truly desperate, all things that you can’t tell in an email or text.

So the next time you are planning to text or email someone some delicate information, “flatter them”, pick up the phone and have a real conversation.

I think you will be surprised at the result.

Bally Northwind Blast Chillers

Bally’s Northwind Blast Chillers chill food quickly and safely without freezing to help keep you out of the danger of violating stringent food safety requirements.
During cooling, the worst danger of contamination occurs as foods drop in temperature from 140ÂşF to 41ÂşF aptly called the “Danger Zone”. Under HAACP (The Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) regulations, potentially hazardous foods may not remain in this “Danger Zone” for more than four hours; a Northwind Blast Chiller cools food in two hours or less.A Northwind Probe and Monitoring System keeps allows you to control and verify your food cooling practices as required under HACCP. Our standard monitoring package uses a probe for accurate tracking of internal temperatures, while giving continuous digital temperature readouts.

Bally Northwind Blast Chillers accommodate the rolling racks already in your kitchen, and their wide roomy doors meet the requirements of the Federal Americans with Disabilities Act. The Northwind 500 offers Bally chilling technology in a compact unit, while the 1000 provides the chilling volume required for heavy-duty institutional or commercial food service operations.
