1 February 218 HRD Results LLC Contact Information Carolyn Bell Civil Rights Director HRD Results LLC is owned and operated by Mr. Richard Conerly. Located in Jackson, MS, the firm was established in 26. HRD Results LLC, has been a DBE certified firm since 27. The firm has completed projects with Port of Authorities in Washington D.C., Virginia, New Jersey, NY as well as Veteran Affairs (VA) throughout the Southeast Region. In addition, HRD Results LLC is a member of the National Minority Supplier Development Council, Veteran, and is Service Disabled Veteran owned. The firm specializes but is not limited to Industrial Supplies and Services. Some of HRD Safety LLC, contracts range from maintaining drains, exhaust cleaning, janitorial, etc. Richard Conerly also owns HRD Safety LLC, which offers an array of safety products for customers such as Toyota, MS Power, Mercedes, Marathon Oil Petroleum, U.S. Air Force, Georgetown Metals Processing, Pittsburgh Glass, etc. Being in business requires long extended hours, a lot of reading, listening, and willingness to learn says Mr. Conerly. He also stated the importance of answering certain questions (i.e., Who are you? What do you do? Why should someone do business with you?) as well as developing strategies to gain customers ( Acquisition Strategy and an effective target list), a strategy to keep customers ( Sustainment Strategy ), and a strategy to renew with your customers ( Constant Communication and Quality Review Strategy ). In addition, Mr. Conerly believes it is important to understand the difference between expense vs. investment throughout the company. For example, I see marketing as an investment, some may see it as an expense, but it should render a direct return on your investment, said Mr. Conerly. As an entrepreneur, Mr. Conerly acknowledges various factors involved in sustaining a viable business. I strongly believe in joining local and national organizations/associations to build, expand, network, and connect with potential customers. Seek assistance from organizations, attend training, don t be afraid to communicate and over communicate, prepare and over prepare, be competent in anything you pursue and repeat yourself for continuity and success, said Mr. Conerly. However, one of the key pieces of advice he offers DBEs and small businesses alike is to treat all customers as if each customer is the best and most important customer because this will keep you honest and help ensure you exceed expectations.

4 February 218 A Mississippi Success Story Wheeler s Janitorial Supplies & Equipment, Inc. Mr. Tommy Wheeler owns and operates Wheeler s Janitorial Supplies & Equipment, Inc. located in Crystal Springs, Miss. The firm s specialty is providing janitorial supplies and equipment. However, with an outstanding management team and growth, Wheeler s Janitorial Supplies & Equipment is expanding to offer janitorial services as well. I truly enjoy what I do, which makes all the difference as I build relationships with my customers and give back to my community, said Mr. Wheeler. Being in business for 2 years has allowed the firm to establish strong work relationships with various organizations and companies. Some of the largest jobs obtained by Wheeler s Janitorial Supplies & Equipment, Inc. included supplying equipment and other cleaning materials to Jackson Public School District, G.V. (Sonny) Montgomery VA Medical Center, Copiah Board of Supervisors, City of Jackson as well as the City of Canton. Currently, the firm is providing cleaning services to Alcorn State University and Mississippi Job Corps. Over the past year, the firm has experienced increased business while retaining consistent contracts. In addition, the firm is in the process of building a larger facility. Owning a successful business means more than generating revenue for Mr. Wheeler. Being a business owner means that I can help give people jobs, work skills, as well as leaving a legacy for my own family, said Mr. Wheeler. Positively impacting others lives has always been a goal for him. Mr. Wheeler is scheduled to speak at Mississippi Job Corps (Crystal Springs, MS location) later this month. Sustaining a successful business is often times not an easy venture. However, Mr. Wheeler believes that it requires a hands- on approach, dedication, and willingness to work hard in order to keep a business successful and positioned for optimal growth. It also involves networking and looking for job opportunities which I am grateful MDOT DBE Supportive Services helps me with, said Mr. Wheeler. For more information about this firm or to contact Mr. Wheeler please send your correspondence to wheelersjanitorial@yahoo.com.

6 February 218 OSHA Safety Tip of the Month! Using Personal Protective Equipment? Personal protective equipment, commonly referred to as "PPE", is equipment worn to minimize exposure to hazards that cause serious workplace injuries and illnesses. These injuries and illnesses may result from contact with chemical, radiological, physical, electrical, mechanical, or other workplace hazards. Personal protective equipment may include items such as gloves, safety glasses and shoes, earplugs or muffs, hard hats, respirators, or coveralls, vests and full body suits. What can be done to ensure proper use of personal protective equipment? All personal protective equipment should be safely designed and constructed, and should be maintained in a clean and reliable fashion. It should fit comfortably, encouraging worker use. If the personal protective equipment does not fit properly, it can make the difference between being safely covered or dangerously exposed. When engineering, work practice, and administrative controls are not feasible or do not provide sufficient protection, employers must provide personal protective equipment to their workers and ensure its proper use. Employers are also required to train each worker required to use personal protective equipment to know: When it is necessary What kind is necessary How to properly put it on, adjust, wear and take it off The limitations of the equipment Proper care, maintenance, useful life, and disposal of the equipment If PPE is to be used, a PPE program should be implemented. This program should address the hazards present; the selection, maintenance, and use of PPE; the training of employees; and monitoring of the program to ensure its ongoing effectiveness.

7 February 218 The Essence of Good Customer Service By Sherri Davis-Garner President Styling Your Life Solutions Customer service, also known as relationship management has a positive impact on your business. Good customer service never goes out of style. At the end of the day, you have to treat people well, or they will divorce you. Treating people like they re special is not only important, but it is paramount! Good customer service never goes out of style. According to Forbes survey, 86% of buyers are willing to pay more for a better customer experience. In addition, a report by Right Now revealed that 89% of on-line customers abandon online stores because they experience poor customer service. Here are some smart solutions in delivering stellar customer service: Value Your Customer s Time! In an age of instant gratification, customers want what they want instantly. They want an instant response, as well as a quick delivery of what they want. Customers who receive a quick response are more likely to provide excellent feedback and positive reviews. Customers Being Able to Reach You! Customers want to be able to reach you. There was a person who continued to say she wanted to do business with me. However, she had huge lapses of time in getting back with me and at times, she wasn t able to even do that. You owe it to your customers to be connected, whether it be via phone, or text. The more connected you are, the easier it will be for your customer to connect with you! Customers are Right! You know that in many cases, customers are not right. However, a rule of thumb is to not spend time explaining to a customer that they are wrong. Don t be tempted to even try and explain you re right and they are wrong. The rule of thumb is to acknowledge their complaint, and then turn their bad experience into a good experience. It s simple. If you don t want a bad review, value your customer s word of mouth experience by making the experience a good one.
