The Foundations of Long-Term Success9:23 – 11:17

J

9:23

So 30 years now under the same ownership, 65 years under the united entity that you still are today.

J

9:31

That is a long track record no matter what industry you're in, no matter what city you're in.

J

9:36

Sure.

J

9:36

Yeah.

J

9:36

So how has NAIFMA maybe evolved alongside the community? What's been the secret to this company's success in Lincoln for that kind of a track record?

A

Alexandra CassidyGuest

9:47

You want

M

9:47

to take it? I'll take this one.

M

9:50

So I think Alex and I were talking in your lobby about the notion of Midwestern nice.

M

9:55

We

A

Alexandra CassidyGuest

9:55

were.

M

9:56

And so I think there's Midwestern nice, but if you cross somebody...

M

10:01

That's it.

A

Alexandra CassidyGuest

10:02

Yeah.

A

Alexandra CassidyGuest

10:03

If you don't act with integrity and you're doing something shady.

M

10:07

If you're unethical, you're out the door.

M

10:09

Yep.

M

10:09

And I think it's just a key factor of it takes a long time to get a client or customer, but you can lose them in a second.

J

10:16

Yeah.

M

10:16

And so I think we do a really good job as a company in all fields.

M

10:20

You know, the maintenance crew are there.

M

10:22

That's kind of our most often seen face.

M

10:26

Boots on ground, figuratively and literally.

M

10:28

Yeah.

M

10:28

Yeah.
