OUR CLIENTS
Fun fact: When I was younger before phones had cameras to easily take before and after pictures, I did landscaping in England for people. As exciting as it was, one of the most satisfying things about the work wasn't being given a blank canvas to design and transform their garden or driveway. It wasn't even the delight in finishing the job, but the results that completing the work brought. The joy of the customer's faces when they saw what used to be a burden and a place they avoided to a new completed space they were now drawn to and could rest in.
Currently, Creative Thinking Services is only just beginning it's journey, and like with all new adventures, it takes some time to build up a client base. However, the ultimate goal for Creative Thinking Services, is to be able to provide it's clients with the same type of transformation feeling, from being overwhelmed and burdened by something, to having a refreshing new lease on the subject at hand.
I would love for you to be one of our first clients to find some positive results you are searching for so that we can share some stories about transformations from difficult situations to encouraging improvements.
Small random story example:
Sometimes it doesn't take much to change something not working...
When I used to haul liquid with highway trucks, it would often be that the weights that were loaded onto the highway trucks were difficult to keep consistent leading to quite a few other costly problems. Not being content to leave the unnecessary irregularity alone I proceeded to develop formulas that would enable my load to always have a gross weight I was looking for when exiting the facility to haul down the road.
At the time, many of the workers laughed at my efforts to be bothered by such a thing, especially since it wasn't officially my problem to solve. However the plant manager caught on to what I was doing and immediately asked me if I wanted a job working for them because of it. (As flattered as I was, at the time I felt I needed to be loyal to my employer and respectfully declined his generous offer).
Not long after this incident, the company loading the trucks, developed formulars for an automated system that did the same thing I had originally set out to do, (to ensure consistent accurate gross weights exiting the facility). This has saved lots of head aches, frustrations and thousands of dollars over the years since.
I don't consider myself to be strong academically, and what I had originally practically done was nothing special and quite honestly something many people could do, (and often likely better than I could). Moreover, the trouble can sometimes just simply be that not everyone has a mind wired to come up with some creative effective solutions amongst the mess, and / or has the care to do something about it. That's what I'm passionate about. It is a natural reflex for me to want and try and find a better way.
Rather than limiting creative ideas to only helping a few companies, I thought it could be beneficial to all parties to try and help many businesses as possible.
Our service is designed to do the thinking outside of the box so you can limit any further concerns on whatever the situation is.
Important note:
There are no hidden fees or specific commitments for the service...
When I started my landscaping business people would ask me how much the job would be or how much they owed me for different things.
Other than the necessary costs of them covering any purchased new materials, I didn't originally have a specific amount I expected from them for the work and told them to pay me what the job was worth to them. I knew as long as I did a good job, the payment for my labor would likely reflect the quality of the work completed. (This strategy I used initially in the start up of the business because my primary aim was to build people's trust for the skills and the work I was providing so that then the workflow would be natural and minimize advertising costs. I'm grateful to say this initial strategy was successful, most likely because it was built on mutual respect and trust. Once I had a a consistent reliable customer base, I could then incorporate competitive pricing for new estimates for new and existing customers. For the new customers knew what to expect from their property investment from looking over their neighbor's fence (figuratively and sometimes literally). Furthermore, the existing customers respected the work I could regularly provide and were now ready to match the same labor costs as new customers paid me.
One thing Creative Thinking Services aims to pride itself in is the transparency with its clients. Therefore the strategy to build the trust in the landscaping business will be no different than with Creative Thinking Services.
That is why all our first customers will be given the freedom to pay as little or as much as they choose. In fact no payment will be expected if our client doesn't find any helpful solutions they are searching for from us. However, whether it is only a few dollars or thousands of dollars in payment for how our services help increase efficiency and profit lines, we trust our customers will be fair in paying what is reflective in their business or company from what our services provide.
