A company mission statements helps your employees understand what you’re trying to do as a business owner and what exactly the company should strive for. Your mission statement is the driving force behind your company philosophy. Mission statements should be succinct and easy to understand so that it paints a clear picture of what exactly you want your business to accomplish. When employees feel confident in their mission and rally around it, it makes it easy for others to feel confident in your services. Since we last visited Jeff Tempone from East Coast Refrigeration, we learned that Jeff not only created and applied a company mission statement to his business but asked all of his employees to create their own personal mission statements to help them reach their full potential. Take a look at your mission statement and ask yourself; is it driving clients to your business?

The act of refrigeration is simply the removal of heat from an enclosed place or a material. Simple, right? I bet Jeff Tempone from East Coast Refrigeration in Bohemia, NY begs to differ. Everyone in the Western civilized world takes the simple luxury of ice as a given, but not Jeff. He works long hard hours making sure his clients stay cool.
His technical skills are unsurpassed and he can fix nearly anything mechanical. That's how he got his start working in the refrigeration business. Like many small business owners, he learned a trade and opened his own shop. For the last five years he has worked hard making his small enterprise grow....and then he realized he was really stuck...
