Hello CBI/BSI family! We are thrilled to share another exciting employee newsletter!
Going Up in Flames (Almost)
Everyone loves a morning tradition, for some, that is a nice hot cup of coffee, others, a good morning workout, but for Mike and Don it was breakfast everyday around 10 a.m. So, as any other morning one work day, Mike and Don headed out to grab a bite to eat. Shortly after, Natalie went to find Doug as she could swear she smelled smoke. After tracking down Doug, more and more people started saying they smelled smoke, asking what room could possibly be the culprit. As panic ensued, Doug put two and two together, being as Mike smoked in his office, and ventured to open Mike’s office door. Smoke bellowed out and Doug was met with a thick cloud of smoke! Turns out, the trashcan under Mike’s desk was on fire, engulfed in flames. Doug manages to half drag the trash can into the parking lot to let it burn the rest of the way out. Turns out, when Mike was leaving to go to breakfast that morning, he threw a cigarette away and managed to catch paper on fire, all while almost burning the entire office down. Whew, that could have been bad!

Customer Service/Irrigation Season Update:
“I am incredibly proud of our customer service team for all of their hard work day in and day out. As someone who has been through 9 irrigation seasons with BSI, these few months are incredibly challenging & stressful. Not only did they survive but, they strived to make this one of the most successful and productive irrigation seasons I have seen to date. Way to go BSI CSR!!!”

Account Management and Sales Update: Colorado Recap
Michelle, Melissa, and Bevin recently went to Colorado to visit 8 current customers: Edgewater, Englewood, Westminster, Broomfield, Northglenn, Erie, Estes Park, and Fort Collins and meet with 1 potential customer: Boulder. All meetings were positive, and clients loved being back to in person meetings. Majority of time, the meetings went over an hour and consisted of chatting/connecting about non-work items, camping recommendations, family, and favorite sports teams…the Cubs/Sox rivalry is the most common question! It was great to build those relationships out of state with people we typically only “see” on the computer. Many complimented Bevin, the Account Manager for Colorado, on her great customer service and quick response times to inquiries/questions…way to go Bevin!
Jody was also in Colorado performing inspections for Englewood at the same time, so the group met up for a fun hike/sightseeing drive through the mountains!
Coming Soon!
CBI is 95% moved into their new shop in Schaumburg that will be the hub for supplying our inspectors with the backflow parts, and devices they need to service our great customers. The 3,000 sq. ft. warehouse will be stocked with backflow parts for inspectors and house all devices for installations, fabrications, and bench testing.
