Good, Better or Best?

When given the option I am sure you would always choose to be the

best, but which one are you, in reali-ty? Are you the best in your trade? No matter what you do, are you the best at it? If not, why not? What are you doing that makes you the best? We all want success but very few people actually accomplish their dreams. In my years in business I have learned that striving to be the best at whatev-er you do will lead you to success.

Setting goals is very important, but just like the old saying goes; “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” If you are currently servicing 50 pools it is not realistic to set a goal of 200 pools within the next couple months. Set smaller, personal, and most im-portantly obtainable goals. I would suggest that you start by reflecting on your performance. If you're servicing 50 pools now, gaining 150 more isn’t going to make you better at what you do, however being the best will increase your job opportunities. In-stead of setting an unobtainable goal consider setting a goal that will im-prove your performance. For exam-ple, "I will attend all the upcoming training classes so that I fully under-stand all the new pool technology." This is an obtainable goal. By doing this you will strengthen your job knowledge which will lead to more opportunities and happy customers. When one goal is complete, move on to the next one until you truly are the best in your field.

In my experience and what I hear from successful business owners is that their main goal has always been to be the best. A good friend of mine is a successful landscaper. He loves what he does and aims at being the best landscaper in his area. His goals didn't include numbers or profit, his main goal is simple "be the best" and because of this not only is his busi-ness booming, most of that business comes from referrals.

So I want to challenge you. Visualize yourself as the best in your profession and set goals to help you get there, like the example above. Now this may sound easy to do but in fact it may be the hardest thing you do...start to love what you do. Truly enjoy servicing, plumbing or design-ing pools. Having the right attitude is key. Start every day reminding yourself that you're in this business because you enjoy what you do.

"Our Mission is Your Success" is PEP's mission statement. We have always believed that the most important aspect of our business is Customer Service. Daily we aim at giving the best service to our custom-ers by providing knowledge, stocking the products you need, and rushing those last minute orders when they come in. We all wish there was a simple formula for being successful but truthfully there isn't, otherwise we would all be successful. The advice I'm providing is not proven, this is just what has worked for PEP. We aim at being the best distributor for our customers!

Mensaje del Presidente

Regards,Andres Becerra

PresidentPool & Electrical Products, Inc.

Si usted tiene la op-ción, me imagino que lo que escoge es ser

excelente, pero ¿cuál es usted en realidad? ¿Es excelente en su profesión? No importa a lo que se dedique, ¿es excelente en lo que hace? Si no, ¿por qué no? ¿Qué puede hacer para ser excelente en su industria? To-dos queremos ser exitosos pero pocas personas pueden lograr sus sueños. En todos los años que llevo en el negocio, he aprendido que esforzarse para ser excelente en su profesión, lo llevará al éxito.

Establecer metas es muy importante, pero así como el viejo dicho dice "Roma no se construyó en un día." Si usted está dando mantenimiento a 50 piscinas, no es realístico proponerse una meta de incrementar su mantenimiento a 200 piscinas en los próximos meses. Haga metas pequeñas, personales y lo más importante: obtenibles. Le sugiero que empiece por reflexionar sobre su desempeño. Si usted está haciendo mantenimiento a 50 piscinas hoy y agre-ga otras 150, esto no lo hará mejorar en la industria, sin embargo si se enfoca en convertirse en un experto esto le dará más oportunidades. En lugar de proponerse una meta inalcanzable, considere proponer una meta que le ayudará a mejorar su rendimiento. Por ejemplo "voy a asistir a las clases de entrenamiento próximamente para obtener un conocimiento completo de las nuevas tec-nologías para piscinas." Esta meta es obtenible. Al hacer esto aumentará su conocimiento del trabajo y atraerá más oportunidades y clientes felices. Cuando alcance una meta, continúe con la siguiente hasta que usted sea en realidad excelente en su profesión.

En mi experiencia y lo que escucho de otros dueños de negocios exitosos es que la meta principal siempre es llegar a ser excelente. Un buen amigo mío es diseñador de jardines. El disfruta su trabajo y se enfoca en ser excelente

en su área. Su meta no incluye números o ganancias, su meta prin-cipal es simplemente "ser excelente" y por este motivo él prospera en su negocio y la mayoría de sus clientes son referidos.

Entonces quiero proponerle un reto. Visualice su negocio siendo excelente en su profesión y proponga metas que le ayudaran alcanzar sus sueños, como el ejemplo de arriba. La siguiente sugerencia se escucha-rá como algo fácil de hacer pero

el realidad puede que sea difícil: empiece a disfrutar su trabajo. Verdaderamente goce de hacer mantenimiento, plomería o diseñar piscinas. Tener una actitud positiva es la clave. Empiece cada día recordándose a sí mismo que disfruta de su trabajo.

En PEP "Nuestra Misión Es Su Éxito". Siempre hemos creído que el aspecto más importante en nuestro negocio es el servicio al cliente. A diario tratamos de ser excelentes en nuestro servicio: ofreciendo información del producto, almacenando los productos que necesitan y completando las ordenes de último minuto. Todos de-searíamos que existiera una fórmula simple para alcanzar el éxito, pero en realidad no hay una, si no, todos fuéramos exitosos. Los consejos que ofrezco no son comprobados, pero sin duda han funcionado para pep. Nuestro objetivo es ¡ser líderes en distribución para nuestros clientes!

¿Bueno, Mejor o Excelente?

PEP TipsDon’t forget to make Modern Pools, Fun Pools

No olvide transformar sus piscinas modernas en piscinas divertidas

Modern Pool Design is gaining popularity across the country. With sleek, clean lines, it’s not always obvious how to create fun

entertainment areas for swimmers without disrupting the modern aesthetic. However, by adding anchors strategically throughout the pool, builders can offer their customers multiple options for fun and interac-tion with friends, while maintaining a clean, modern look.

In-Pool Benches - Benches built into the shallow end can be fitted with three 6” in-floor bronze anchors in a triangular pattern for two removable swim up bar seats and table to be added during a party. This area provides a shaded “conversation station” for the adults while the kids are splashing around. When the party is over just take them out!

Sun-Shelf - The sun shelf provides a shallow play space for small children and a relaxation area for adults. Add an anchor for a table/umbrella combina-tion or try putting anchors at the sun-shelf edge to install a removable basketball game set.

Modern Paver Decks- The geometric lines of travertine paver decks are often used in modern pool design but those pavers can still be fitted with a bas-ketball anchor set or a single volleyball anchor on the opposite side to create a “sports” pool. When the party is over, remove the game sets and replace the caps on the anchors to maintain the clean look of the deck.

Whether it is by adding conversation stations or sports games to your modern pool designs, don’t ne-glect to integrate “FUN” elements that offer additional profit potential.

Los diseños de piscinas modernas están ganando popularidad en toda la nación. Con líneas lisas y pulidas no siempre es obvio como crear áreas de

entretenimiento divertidas para nadadores sin interrumpir la estética moderna. Sin embargo al adherir anclas estratégi-camente alrededor de la piscina, los constructores pueden ofrecer a sus clientes opciones múltiple para divertirse e interactuar con amigos, al mismo tiempo que mantienen un look limpio y moderno.

Bancos en la Piscina - Las bancas construidas en la parte menos profunda de la piscina se pueden adaptar con tres anclas de bronce de 6 pulgadas instaladas en un forma triangular para dos sillas de bar removibles y una mesa que se puede adherir durante una fiesta. Esta área provee un lu-gar con sombra para que los adultos se relajen mientras los niños se están divirtiendo. Cuando la fiesta se acaba, solo se tienen que quitar.

Asoleadero - en la parte menos profunda de la piscina provee un espacio para que los niños pequeños jueguen y para que los adultos se relajen. Agregue un ancla para una combinación de mesa/sombrilla o trate de poner anclas en el borde del asoleadero para ubicar un juego de baloncesto desmontable.

Superficies con acabados modernos - Las líneas geométricas de los pisos de travertinos son usados constan-temente en los diseños de piscinas modernas, aun en este piso de travertinos puede adaptar una ancla de baloncesto o una ancla de voleibol en la parte opuesta para crear la apariencia de piscina deportiva. Cuando la fiesta acaba se remueven los juegos y se reemplazan con tapas en las anclas para mantener la apariencia nítida de la superficie.

Ya sea que agregue una estación para relajarse, o de juegos deportivos a los diseños de sus piscinas modernas, no olvide integrar elementos de "DIVERSION" que le ofre-cerán una ganancia adicional.

13Our Mission is Your Success

PEP Tech

As technology continues to evolve at an ever-in-creasing pace, more and more people are expecting and preferring to operate home

appliances and devices – from heating and audio-visual equipment to security and light bulbs - from the conve-nience of their smartphone or voice control technolo-gies such as Amazon Alexa.

Pool and spa equipment is a natural next step for the growing demand for smart home automation. Many homeowners are passionate about cooking, relaxing and enjoying time in their own backyards. Most new pools today are constructed with some kind of automation system - but what about the other four million pools that still only have very basic controls, such as timeclocks?

Until now, homeowners wanting to add smart control to an existing pool have been frustrated by the lack of a practical and affordable solution - one that wouldn’t require replacing most of their equipment and creating consider-able electrical work. While there have been smart pool automation products available for a number of years, they cannot easily be installed by a pool professional alone and usually require extensive and costly work by a qualified electrician. Also, most pool owners won’t upgrade until a replacement for pool equipment is needed.

The largest category for replacement pool equip-ment is pumps. Throughout the nation energy provid-ers have been incentivizing pool owners to convert their single-speed pumps to variable-speed models with attractive rebates, often amounting to hundreds of dollars. On top of these up-front savings, vari-able-speed pumps can deliver incredible energy savings, which reduces electrical bills by as much as 90%.

The introduction of the latest generation of vari-able-speed pumps represents an unprecedented oppor-tunity for pool pro’s to offer legacy pool owners an affordable smart control solution, while at the same time replacing their pool pump with a more energy- efficient alternative. There’s a range of models available, allowing a simple drop-in replacement for virtually any existing pump.

A variable-speed pump with smart control offers full app management for most people’s entire pool pad, including the pump itself, a heater and pool light. A fourth feature – such as backyard lighting or a booster pump – can also be controlled by adding a second smart relay. And perhaps the greatest conve-nience for owners of pools with attached spas is the capability to also control two valve actuators, providing fully automatic spa control too.

The bottom line is that a new variable- speed pump with smart pool control can pay for itself in a season or two. And home-owners replacing a single-speed pump can

easily and affordably make a whole-pool upgrade which will totally transform their pool experience.

Smartphone control makes it easy for pool-owners and their families to create schedules, adjust settings or turn on favorite themes with a simple touch on their iOS or Android mobile app. By upgrading to the latest generation variable-speed pumps, smart pool control offers a tempting proposition for every pool owner.

The Pump They Need Plus the Control They Want

A medida que la tecnología sigue avanzado a una velocidad acelerada, más y más personas esperan y prefieren manejar electrodomésticos y dispositivos

electrónicos (desde calefacciones y equipos audiovisuales hasta focos intelligentess y sistemas de seguridad) desde la conveniencia de su celular o de tecnologías de control de voz como "Alexa" de Amazon.

Los equipos para la piscina y spa son el siguiente paso en la demanda de automatización inteligente del hogar. A muchos dueños de vivienda les apasiona cocinar, relajarse y disfrutar de su tiempo en sus patios. Casi todas las pisci-nas nuevas están construidas con algún tipo de sistema de automatización; pero ¿qué de las cuatro millones de piscinas que todavía tienen los controles básicos para encender y apagar la bomba?

Hasta ahora, los propietarios de vivienda que desean agregar un control inteligente a sus piscinas han estado frustrados por la falta de una solución práctica y económica - una que no re-quiera reemplazar casi todo su equipo y la necesidad de mucho trabajo eléctrico. Aunque han existido por muchos años productos inteligentes de automatización para piscina en el mercado, estos no son fáciles de instalar por un profesional de piscina solamente, y usualmente requi-eren de un trabajo extensivo y costoso de un electricista calificado. También la mayoría de dueños de piscina no modernizan sus equipos hasta que un reemplazo es necesario.

La categoría más amplia para reemplazar en equipos de piscina son las bombas. En todo el país los provee-dores de energía han estado incentivando a los dueños de piscina para que cambien su bomba de una velocidad por un modelo de velocidad variable con reembolsos atrac-tivos, en muchos casos llegando a los cientos de dólares. Además de estos ahorros por adelantado, las bombas de

velocidad variable ahorran energía considerablemente, dando como resultado la reducción de las facturas de energía hasta en un 90%.

El lanzamiento de la última generación de bombas de velocidad variable representa una oportunidad sin prece-dentes para que los profesionales de piscina ofrezcan a los dueños de piscinas convencionales una solución de control inteligente económico y al mismo tiempo remplacen su bomba de piscina con una alternativa de energía eficiente. Hay una serie de modelos disponibles que permiten virtual-mente un reemplazo rápido para cualquier bomba.

Una bomba de velocidad variable con control inteli-gente ofrece el control total de la piscina desde la apli-cación de su tableta, incluyendo la bomba, la calefacción

y la iluminación. Una característica extra – como iluminación de patio o una bomba de presión– también puede ser controlada agregando un segundo relé inteligente. Y quizá la conveniencia más grande para los propietarios de piscina con spas adheridos es la capacidad de controlar dos válvulas actu-adoras, facilitando un control automático y total del spa.

En conclusión la nueva bomba de velocidad variable con control inteligen-te puede pagarse a sí misma en una o dos temporadas. Con solo reemplazar su bomba de una velocidad, los dueños de vivienda

pueden fácil y económicamente modernizar y transfor-mar su experiencia en la piscina.

El control desde un teléfono inteligente facilita a los dueños de piscina y sus familias crear horarios y ajustar o encender las funciones favoritas con un toque simple en su aplicación de celular. Al actualizar a una bomba de última generación de velocidad variable, los controles inteligen-tes de piscina brindan una promesa tentadora para cada dueño de piscina.

La bomba que necesitan,con el control que desean

Brian has also designed a way to hide the pool cover vault-end below grade for a more pleasing pool shape. Brian continues, "I’m not focused on industry awards or high volume, because small niche builders have an important place in this market too." Brian can be contacted at [email protected]
