How many of you have been on a business trip that ended up being a waste of time, despite promises to the contrary?\u00a0 Well, our trip to Stuller, Inc. in Lafayette, LA was NOT THAT TRIP!!!!\u00a0 We were greeted with Southern hospitality at its finest, combined with presentations and instruction on ways to bring technology into our business.\u00a0 Stuller has developed a CAD program that will enable us to design custom work with our customers, right at the counter!\u00a0 The hardware and software will be arriving shortly, so be on the lookout for its debut!\u00a0 They also showed us some tools on their website that will allow us to quote accurate pricing in real time, even with the volatile metals market.\u00a0 In addition to the computer work we were introduced to, we also did a little studying on the topic of change in general.\u00a0 The jewelry industry has long been viewed as an industry steeped in tradition and slow to change.\u00a0 We’ll keep the tradition, but after that few days in Louisiana we are ready to change and improve our service and offerings to best serve our clients.\u00a0 We returned home and to our store energized and ready to tackle change , though we gained a few pounds due to the shrimp, crab and crawfish, all the knowledge we gained was well worth it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
