Message From The Editor
Help Wanted
Despite the economic uncertainty, unemployment numbers remain stubbornly low, making it hard for the average distributor to remain fully staffed. On top of that, selling lighting requires a specific skillset. Lights Fantastic Pro takes on that challenge by producing a recruitment ad that is frankly the best I’ve seen in my nearly 30 years covering the industry. Have a look at the video in this newsletter and see for yourself. I love the excitement and passion for lighting design that this video creates and hope it inspires you when it’s time to hire the right fit for your business. |
