Cedarworks Playsets of Rockport, Maine relies successfully on a web-based marketing program and their dynamic and interactive "Design-A-Set" feature that allows a prospective customer to design their own playset online, thereby saving paper usually used in the design phase. Their strategy is a good example of how a Maine business can balance sustainability and profitability in a competitive market.

IN THIS ISSUE:

Local Expert Selected as
One of "The World's Greatest Business Mentors"

Darwin Gillett, President of Gillett Associates of Bath has been selected as one of "The World's Greatest Business Mentors", an honor bestowed upon only 50 professionals internationally.  Awarded by Mission Publishing of Palo Alto, CA, the selection identifies Gillett as an innovative expert whose skills, experience, and record of success qualifies him as an unsurpassed resource and mentor for others.  The award also signifies Gillett's distinctive leadership in his specific profession as a consultant on business and leadership development.

Gillett's designation as one of The World's Greatest Business Mentors is highlighted by his inclusion in a book of the same name, planned for release in January of 2004.  All recipients of the award are invited to write a chapter for the book in which they share their insights and experiences to impart invaluable wisdom to others.  Over 2000 individuals were nominated for the program and, after thorough interviews and review, 50 were selected.

"It's a tremendous honor to be selected as one of the world's greatest business mentors," says Gillett.  "To be recognized not only for professional achievements, but as one who can mentor and help others to accomplish their goals is quite humbling."

John Eggen, head of the selection process for the program, believes the honor of being selected is well-earned, and in some cases, long overdue for the winners. "We all hear about the Fortune 500 CEOs and world business leaders, but too often we neglect to recognize wise experts whose insights and strategies have significantly transformed people's personal and professional lives, and made a positive impact in their communities," notes Eggen.  "The knowledge these individuals possess is extraordinary; people like Dar Gillett are genuine experts who are helping business owners, executives, and professionals achieve significant goals."
