When was the last time you got a lead from Facebook? Social media is a powerful tool that should not be overlooked when you’re looking to boost business. Whether you want to pick up seasonal customers or simply capture new leads, the vast network of social media websites has made it easy to share your services with the world.

CEO Louise Kelly presented on industrial bank sector at National Association of Industrial Bank Congressional Committee Staff Briefing on May 12th. 

Did you know that home improvement contractors and the remodeling industry are responsible for an enormous number of consumer complaints—even more than used car salesmen and mortgage brokers? This presents a great opportunity for you!

If you are anything like me, when considering a major purchase, you ask friends and family for a recommendation.  According to a 2013 study by Cisco, 49 percent of today’s buying decisions are still influenced by one’s closest circles.  Word of mouth can’t be underestimated. Yet, who consumers ask and how they ask has changed.  Social media and online reviews have replaced many of the over-the-fence conversations of the past.  What’s the bottom line?  As a business owner, you can’t rely solely on word of mouth to grow your business.

Being profitable requires you to operate on more than just a gut feeling and what your bank statement tells you each week. Unfortunately many contractors of all sizes operate exactly that way and, while they think they are being extremely profitable and successful, many are barely surviving. 

EnerBank experienced record growth in 2014 and is hiring again. 

For a third year, Salt Lake City based employees of EnerBank USA have opened their hearts and wallets donating more than 100 gifts to The Christmas Box International’s (CBI) Project Elf Warehouse.

Project Elf offers a fun and meaningful opportunity for groups and individuals to make a difference by fulfilling Christmas wishes for children at The Christmas Box Houses. Christmas Box Houses help those in foster care or receiving in-home services through the State of Utah’s Division of Child and Family Services, as well as youth aged out of foster care and children being raised by relatives.
Lisa McDonald, Executive Director of CBI, stated, “At any given time, there are roughly 2,800 children in foster care throughout Utah. In probably every neighborhood, every school, there will be a child who has experienced abuse, neglect or abandonment.”

With employees working from home, on the road, and in remote offices, the need for an easy-access central hub to store all your shared documents is increasingly important. Many companies use online storage solutions, managed through personal accounts. While free, these options create data risks as the content is not controlled by the company.
