Why We're Thankful!

With Thanksgiving happening this week we asked many of the people of CPrint® to tell us why they are thankful they're part of the organization. Here is what they told us:

“I’m thankful that because of CPrint® I still have a business. And I’m thankful for all the people of CPrint®. “ – Jackie Wurm, IntergriPrint, Buffalo, Minnesota

“I'm thankful I joined CPrint® because of all the amazing people I now know and can call upon if I need help. I'm also thankful that Tom taught me how to read a statement of cash flows . . .” –Peter Palermo, Elm Street Printing, Camden, Maine.

“With thoughts of sharing a Thanksgiving meal with our families, we are especially thankful this year because of our association and support with CPrint®, which has brought us great peace of mind that we are now back on the road to success. During this past year and a half, CPrint® has empowered us with the knowledge and inspiration to become better owners and therefore better heads of our families. Art and I want to extend our best wishes and prayers to our CPrint® family.” -- Maco Amoyo, Bullet Graphics Center, Plano, Texas.

“CPrint® has provided us clarity within our business that you simply don’t receive with one’s accountant or by reading the trade rags. Thankful? Absolutely! May not be in business without CPrint®.” --George Haggarty, Main Graphics, Irvine, California.

“I used to be a cowboy…out there riding the dusty ranges of the printing industry all by my lonesome. Thought I could out think or out tough any problem that came my way. Well, after about 7 or 8 years of riding the exact same trail, I finally figur’d out that I needed some help. CPrint® rode to our rescue, and we have been singing Happy Trails ever since. Thanks to CPrint®…I know where we are on the big map…and where we need to go.” –Kevin Wax, Wax Family Printing, Murfreesboro, Tennessee

“CPrint® has allowed us to spend more quality time together as a family. Before CPrint® our family time was spent, doing bindery together. –Kevin Hebert, St. Charles Printing, Boutte, Louisiana

I am thankful for the people God has put into my life both personal and business. CPrint® was an answered prayer seven years ago when our business was sinking. I am thankful for the structure, training, staff, mentors and fellow printers who are such a vital part of our success! --Carrie Smith, Peacock Printing, Mt. Vernon, Illinois

I am just a few months away from making a transition of our company to my son, Russ. Without CPrint's help in financials & organization, I doubt that this would be possible. Also, CPrint® support has given Russ the guidance and confidence he needed at this time. --Jerry Noell, Computer Graphics, Leeds, Alabama

“With CPrint® we have been provided with the tools that have served our company well during fair weather and foul.” –Sam Wright, Tri-State Printing, Hagerstown, Maryland

Since joining CPrint® the phrase “it’s lonely at the top” has vanished from my business life. The support, knowledge base, education, training, and friendships formed are what being a CPrinter is all about. --Tom Brassard, Paw Print & Mail, South Burlington, Vermont

Apart from good advice, we participated in the CPrint®/Xpedx special and got a rebate check within two weeks! --Russ Noell, Computer Graphics, Leeds Alabama

“CPrint® promised me in 2002 that if we followed the plan we would have more time, more money and peace of mind. My family and I are thankful that we sucked it up and followed the plan, mindful sometimes screaming and kicking. Today many years later we still continue to work the plan and we do have more money, and more time but most important of all, through these uncertain times we are most thankful for the peace of mind.” --Mike Mason, Leesburg Printing, Leesburg, Florida

“I am thankful I joined CPrint® because I like that we can share and receive ideas and advice from others in the same industry. –Shane Hendricks, Hospers& Brother Printers, Iowa City, Iowa

“We were terrified when we joined CPrint® because at our first onsite in 2003, Brent and Tom told us we were $100,000 in the red. With ongoing support and training from CPrint®, we were well in about 1 ˝ years and went on to win 3 consecutive 2-20&15 Eagle Awards. I attribute the success to being totally immersed in CPrint® and consistently working the plan. It was a hard road with a lot of bumps along the way, but we would have never made it this far without our CPrint® team and our fellow CPrinters. I am eternally grateful.” --Brigid Kaye, Creative Characters, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

“I am thankful that I joined CPrint® because now I have an extended family that helps me to get through times like these!” –Barbara Ingram, Paramount Printing, Brunswick, Georgia

“Through CPrint® I have gained some of my best friends that I will ever have. I cannot think of a better group of people to be associated with.” --Mark Peebles, Innovative Printing, Murray, Kentucky

“CPrint® has helped us transition from being employees to business owners. I don't believe we'd still be in business today if we had not joined CPrint®.” --Marya Kaye, Creative Characters, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

““We are so thankful we joined CPrint® after Tom and Pamela Crouser visited us in late 2001. CPrint® motivated us to turn our business into one which is now prospering even during these difficult economic times. We are going in the right direction now and CPrint® is helping us stay on course.” --Joe Davis and Kevin Gettings, Gerald Printing, Bowling Green, Kentucky

“When we joined CPrint® our current ratio was .4:1 Today it's 1.7:1 and climbing. Yes, I'm glad we joined CPrint®.” –Jon Bond, Bond Printing, Hanover, Massachusetts

“CPrint® has made a tremendous difference in the way things are done at Model Printing. We are more organized and efficient than we have ever been. I look forward to the fellowship at the Chicago meetings and appreciate the continuous flow of new information. A big THANK YOU for all you do goes out to everyone at CPrint®!” –Ed Klimczak, Model Printing, Alpena, Michigan

“How has CPrint® helped me? This kinda reminds me of the saying in real estate, you know . . .’ location, location, location.’ When it comes to CPrint® and how it's helped me . . . ‘foundation, foundation, foundation!’ Before I joined CPrint® . . . Sales flat, production was reactionary with no concrete structure, employee morale was what Captain Bligh had on that wonderful ship the "Bounty". CPrint® has set a business model "foundation" to follow that creates time to sell which generates more sales, a production model to give me that time to sell and happier employees, through training and a bonus program. They all now focus on going in the same (right) direction. CPrint® has saved me from walking the plank. –Pat Hunt, Hunt Printing, Countryside, Illinois
