Resolutions? Think Renewal

As the new year’s resolutions begin gathering dust, the start of February also brings the reality that we all are just as busy and stressed this year as we were last year — making those goals difficult to achieve yet again. In looking ahead for the year, there is however, one resolution that’s easily obtainable and will not only help you achieve those business goals for 2010, but save your company money. What is it? Resolve to renew your membership with this Association.

First ask yourself, would any of the below programs help me achieve my business goals for 2010?:

Even if just one of the above programs would benefit your company in 2010, it’s well worth your while to renew your membership. All of the above programs & services offer a strong net of resources geared toward helping you have the most successful business year possible. Even better yet, these programs & services will save your company money. It’s that simple.

With our network of reliable discount programs, continued membership with this Association means continued savings, and a continued return on your small yearly dues investment.

Year after year we offer networking opportunities that link your company with others in the industry. As an example, our upcoming Kansas City Spring Management Clinic, April 8-10, provides a solid opportunity for supplier members to do business with manufacturers. This meeting also offers a wide range of business sessions that, when you return to the office, can be utilized in your everyday operations.

One thing that remains true in this industry — our members prefer to do business with other members. That means when you continue your membership with the Association, your updated company information, including contact information and product information will be listed online at FarmEquip.org in our Online Product Directory. This is where members go first when looking for a supplier, a manufacturer or a marketing member. Your small membership fee alone is well worth the cost of being included in this listing.

If you are currently considering renewing your Association dues for 2010, please go to FarmEquip.org/Endorsed_Services to get more information about the programs listed in this article. We strive to offer our members the most beneficial programs available and look for your feedback when selecting new services. If you have an idea for a program that we don’t currently offer, please let us know. We look forward to serving you throughout 2010.
