At one of my recent BNI Business Connections meetings, we hosted backward shirt day. All team members were asked to wear their shirt backward in order to incorporate the meaning into their presentations. The shirt itself, not just the fact that we were all wearing them backward, had to represent some significance to their business model or point they were trying to get across. Much like defining a new analogy, this assignment took some thought and creativity on the part of each member.
I chose a black Amsterdam themed shirt because of my love for the Netherlands and pride in my lineage. I also chose this particular shirt because it speaks to the whole reason for our business. By pointing to the dark, black void that was visible on the front (which, in this case was actually the back), it defined what your property looks like at night without outdoor lighting — black!
Taking a look at the back of the shirt (which is actually the front), you will notice how the image of Amsterdam brings light, color and feeling to the black background. Much the same can be said about how outdoor lighting brings your home and landscape out of the darkness and into the light!
Switching gears, the use of the shirt as a representation of our business model can also validate our commitment to customer service. Have you ever heard the idiom someone would give the shirt off his or her back? It means that someone would be willing to do anything to help another person. This is exactly the way we feel when it comes to taking care of our outdoor lighting customers. Here at Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Clearwater & Tampa Bay, we serve a wealth of happy customers.
