Hello friends,

On this past Wednesday’s call we were talking about various things, as we often do. The conversation eventually came around to the topic of starting up a referral network within the group. This topic has come up in the past, but we’ve never put any plan into action up until this point. The Shower Door Professionals Group on Facebook has over 2700 members at this time, and if only 10 to 20 percent of those members companies joined on, it would be an amazing resource for everyone involved. In a perfect world we would end up with a co-op of sorts... It would allow us to provide resources to customers throughout the country who are looking for shower pros. 

We all seem to agree that this is the right time to take some steps toward getting this thing off the ground. It’s all going to begin with allowing group members to sign up for it, and we will go from there. If there’s not enough interest to move forward, we can just scrap the idea. I’ve had plans in the past that haven’t panned out... That doesn’t bother me at all. I’ve been willing to try a lot of new things over the years. Some of them have been extremely successful and some not. I’m inviting you to come along on the ride for this one.

I am providing a link below that you can click on to fill out a form, enter your information, and be on the front line of getting this thing started. We will keep you in the loop as this thing develops. At some point, we will formalize it, and it will probably be a small fee, in order to cover administrative costs, but I expect this to be minimal. Once again, thanks for being a part of our amazing group. I look forward to hearing from you.

SHOP THE GLASS GADGET STORE! The “Sticky Hand” is a brilliant utility that is 3D printed here in our facility in California. The item works for 3/8” glass and 1/2” glass so you only need one version of the device. The design allows it to be temporarily attached to a wall using tape and allows the glass to be balanced in place for a moment to free up the hands of the technician. This tool is based on the “Extra Hand” and offers some additional benefits. Primarily, the tool is specifically adapted to be used with enclosures that utilize a header.
