Business Analogy

It all starts with an:

Once you have the idea you have to:

You’re confronted with:

You jump in there and suddenly you’ve got this:

But you still have lots of these:

You learn everyday, use all your intellect, all your creative ability, your blood sweat and tears… basically, never quit, learn to enjoy it, become good at it, and you start getting this:

My analogy once you’re a couple years into it, you have so many moving pieces it’s amazing, you’ve got to keep communication going with many many people, it’s quite the orchestration. it’s like you are a server at a restaurant with a 100 table section:

You have your two 30 tops you definitely need to stay on top of, maybe they are your manufacturers. You’ve got 7 six tops that are always needing more wine poured, maybe they are your sales reps and int’l distributors. You’ve got a bunch of 4 tops, 3 tops, some 2 tops in the corner, all your marketing contacts, seamstress, graphic designer, CFO, website tech, social media group, athletes, events, fedex, accountant, and down the list that are always needing they’re plates cleared. And you have that 1 person way off in the corner sucking down his sodas way too fast. But if you don’t stay on EVERYONE, keep everyone’s water glass full all the time - your section will go down.

Eventually the idea is to reach a level of mastery, efficiency, success:

So that you can do a little of this:

Or in my case, lots of this:

Spyder Sales Meetings in Denver




Last week I attended Spyder sales meetings for their 2011/12 product line. The new line is the most stylish, technical pieces of outerwear I’ve ever seen. I am very proud to be a part of the development of this line. Last year, our new VP, Russ Rowan, came on board and declared that the image of the brand, the voice behind Spyder, the direction of the products needed to come from the athletes. That was amazing and flattering to hear, but also a challenge. We sat down with the design team numerous times, bounced emails back and forth, made sure we were all on the same page for what the athletes wanted to see, and what the designers could produce.

The culmination of everyone’s effort came together last week. It was amazing. It was a pleasure to watch the entire Spyder global sales force come together on one place, a great team of professionals. And not to mention the new showroom in Denver wasn’t too shabby, and neither was the party.. Anyway, get ready to be wowed by Spyder, this is just the beginning! FYI, the “White Spyder” line developed by Chris Davenport, and Stian Hagen….. simply amazing, the best pieces of technical outerwear in the world. Period. Incredible work done on that project.

For more words, see the Public Works blog. Cheers to fellow athletes in attendance; Chris Davenport, Jake Zamansky, Julia Mancuso, Colby West, Roz G, Daron Ralves, Jess Mcmillan, Steven Nyman, and Stian Hagen.
