The Importance of Good First Impressions in Business

February 4, 2016

businessman-putting-a-card-with-text-make-a-good-first-impressionFirst impressions are usually lasting impressions. This is much true in business; when a client walks into a building, the first thing they see is what sticks with them for the rest of their interaction with the company. For example, if a client walks into a building and it is dirty, disorganized, poorly decorated, and has old and worn-out furniture, they are going to have a very negative impression of the company that they are working with. On the other side of the coin, if they walk into a building and it is clean, orderly, and has with modern furniture, the client will have a favorable impression of the business they are working with.

One area where this is especially true is in the food service industry. People are very particular about where they buy their food. They know that if they purchase food from a restaurant that is unclean, they might walk away sick. If the seating area of a restaurant is dirty and if its bathrooms are dirty, it is very likely that the area behind the counter, where the food is cooked and prepared, is also very dirty. For this reason, many businesses and restaurants have invested in using a commercial restroom cleaning service to keep their business and especially its restrooms looking their best.

office-receptionist

The cleanliness and appearance of the employees is just as important as the cleanliness of the business. Employees who are disheveled, dirty and wearing clothing that is not fashionable detract the overall feel and appearance of a business. This is especially the case for employees who interact directly with the customers. Receptionists, retail sales peoples, waiters, and hosts should all be very clean and well kept.

If an employee wears a clean uniform or a nice and neat clothing, but their personal grooming is not up to par, they diminish the impression that a client has about the business. For this reason, many businesses require that employees remove excessive jewelry and that they hide tattoos and other body markings. The last thing that a business wants is for their employees to turn customers away. Instead, they want their employees to make customers feel comfortable in their business.

First impressions are lasting impressions. The cleanliness and orderliness of a business can make sure that a client’s first impression is always good.

Drilling and Cutting with Diamonds

January 6, 2016

blue diamondSince the 1860s, when French engineer Rodolphe Leschot created the first practical diamond drill bit, diamonds have been drilling and cutting through some of the hardest substances on Earth. As the world’s hardest mineral, industrial diamond bits do the job where nothing else can. They are commonly used in quarries, deep core drilling for petroleum and natural gas and for pilot holes in hard materials when using explosives.

Nevertheless, diamonds have also made their way into modern construction projects. Diamond drills and diamond cutting saws are now a standard practice in working with concrete, asphalt, iron, tile and other materials.

Drill bits can be used for wet or dry drilling. Wet drill bits are used for the hardest reinforced concrete and water is used to dissipate heat from the drilling core. A water supply is normally attached to the drill, keeping a steady flow of cool water while the drill is in operation.

They use dry bits when water is not available, when it is not safe at the job area and where the substance is not quite as hard. A vacuum mechanism is used to prevent dust accumulation. Some bits can use either a wet or a dry application. Various grades of core bits contain different concentration levels of diamonds impregnated to the core bit.

In better quality drill bits, such as the Milwaukee core bits, industrial grade diamonds are secured to a steel drill shaft through laser welding. When applied to a heavy gauge drill shaft, the laser weld of the diamonds creates a strong bond between the steel and the industrial grade diamonds. The quality of laser welds permits the bit to withstand higher temperatures during the drilling process.

The higher quality core bits have several advantages, including a longer lasting tool, a cleaner core and a faster drill time. The laser-welded bit will also produce less heat during the drilling process, decreasing the likelihood of the steel shaft or tube becoming warped.

On the other hand, less quality welds can cause the diamonds to flake off or blunt. This will lead to premature failure of the bit, more frequent replacement, and a more ragged core. Because diamonds are obviously very expensive materials, even lesser quality-manufactured bits are expensive. Continuous replacement of drill bits is very costly. This is why most contractors will look to quality of the construction of the drill bit itself. Durability of the bit is a major factor in core bit selection.

Little Drum Set for My Nephew

December 8, 2015

Do you ever wonder what is a resonator guitar? Well, I did when my nephew showed me a guitar during one of our video chats and said that it’s a resonator guitar (or at least, he’s pretending that it was).

Knowing that he is into music, I am now planning to give him this little drum set. It is actually one of the products that I reviewed in my other blog.

Ok, friends! I made it easy for you to visualize how big this 5-piece jazz drums children's toy from #VelocityToys is by taking a picture of it with a can of sprite. Again, this is just a toy drum, the sound is not as loud but it's a chance to let your small kids experience drumming with a drum set (with cymbals too). Available at Amazon here: . #gotitfreeforhonestreview #georyl
