We may not be able to control rising product prices, but we can control what our customers experience when working with us.

If you’re on the lookout for some innovative new products to bring to your market, I encourage you to check out our Hot Products from IBS recap.

There are no shortage of big questions facing our industry. And there is no doubt in my mind that the LBM Community has the answers to match.

Every month, as part of our Real Issues survey, we ask members of the LBM community to share a business challenge that they’re wrestling with.

We are all fortunate to belong to an industry that’s rich with good, smart, successful people who want to share what they know and to learn.

Here’s to working together to redefine what’s possible, and reap the rewards for your employees, your customers, and your company.

If you like the idea of getting away from the yard for a few days and connecting with sharp LBM pros from across the U.S., I’d love to see you in Boston.

We may not be able to control what’s going to happen, but we can control how we prepare, and how we respond.

Our list is constructed to provide you with exactly what we hope everything we produce provides: a comprehensive look at what other LBM pros are doing and how their experience may give you insights to help you build your sales, your business, and your brand.

Mark your calendar to reconnect with your fellow LBM pros in Boston, October 13-15. Hope to see you there!
