Let’s Have a GREAT New Year, OK?

It has been six months since we switched over to Commercial Risk Service last July, and six months since we started our blog. We still have a lot to learn about how to best use our BlogSpot, but I am proud of the information we have given you in those six months. We haven’t had as many people sign up for our blog as I would have hoped at this point, but I know we are doing the right thing here. This is a relatively new mode of communicating with the business leaders, but without a doubt what we are offering here is good information and the right way to go. We are proud of the followers we currently have and look forward to adding more and more business leaders to our blog as we go.

For most of you, 2010 was a little bit better than 2009, but not where you probably hoped you would be at this point. It appears to me that 2011 will again be an improvement over this past year, but still not as much of an increase as hoped. However, I believe there is a beacon of hope in this dimly lit period we have been through in the last 2-3 years. Through all of the lost sales and layoffs and downsizing, those businesses that prevailed have learned how to operate with less and still be viable. As the economy comes back in the next 2-3 years, let’s not forget what kept us going in the economic downturn- lean and mean companies that are still productive.

Commercial Risk Service is passionate about finding ways to help our clients reduce risk in their organizations. Every day, we are thankful for the opportunity to help companies work smarter and keep their employees safer. And every day, we look for more places we can make a difference in your business.

Have a Happy and Prosperous 2011.
