The best part about spending 2 weeks a year in High Point, trudging around from showroom to showroom, sleeping in a strange bed, working 14 hours/day?
Seeing friends.
Yep.
That's it.
Sure, it's fun to see really cool furniture - especially when some of our friends have been particularly inspired - but the best part is the 'catching up.'
"How ARE you?"
"We're good... we're good."
"How is business?"
"Better... we think it's getting better. Yes. Definitely getting better."
"Ours too... what a year."
"No kidding!"
"And your kids?"
"Still growing!!!"
"See you tonight?!"
"Absolutely!!!"
Yep......... buying furniture (on EVERY level -supplier to manufacturer, manufacturer to retailer, retailer to consumer)... is ALL about the relationship.
... and we wouldn't have it any other way.
