When the pandemic hit, the world went into disarray. Phil Rankin, President of Even Mix™ & Special Metal Stamping, shares his story of how he seized an opportunity that changed his company.

Takeaways 

Be attentive to current events. Capitalize on challenges that are in high demand by pivoting your marketing strategy to target that market.

When shifting into a new market, be mindful of scalability. How can the company grow sustainably? What structures need to be in place to ensure growth?

Listen to the customer. Better pricing and new technologies can only go so far if the product is not applicable to the customer’s needs.

Trust your gut as a business owner. We are approached daily with new opportunities. Do not be afraid to take calculated risks.

Getting the right mix of resources committed to the return on investment expected is key to a great cost analysis.
