\"best<\/a>When I asked Gary Willert, president and CEO of LMI Solutions about the trend that\u2019s going to affect his business in the coming year and what LMI has in store to help its dealers be successful, he gets personal and cites sustainability as a key trend. \u201c10 years ago recycling was big, but now it\u2019s what\u2019s the cost?\u201d<\/p>\n

He sees that changing and the interest peaking, which will likely have an effect on vendors like LMI.<\/p>\n

\u201cRecycling piece is going to be, especially for Fortune 500 companies; they all have sustainability programs and EVP\u2019s of sustainability that are focusing on it. I see the trend as a big factor for guys like us; we don\u2019t only have to recycle, but [meet] responsible recycling to standards. That\u2019s going to be more important and mandatory down the road. Maybe not in 2014, but over the next few years it\u2019s going to become more important every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Looking beyond the sustainability trend, Willert discussed LMI’s plans to help their dealers be\u00a0successful in 2014, particularly with ramping up their MPS programs. \u201cWe\u2019re coming out with new marketing tools and videos,\u201d reports Willert. \u201cWe\u2019re trying to work closely with our dealers to help them launch their programs. That\u2019s the biggest obstacle, getting it launched.\u201d<\/p>\n

LMI is bringing best practices from what they\u2019ve seen with other successful dealers and bringing that to the masses. \u201cWhatever we can do to help them,\u201d says Willert. \u201cWe try to be a true partner for our dealers and that\u2019s one way we can do that and hopefully we can help them grow their business.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
