It’s an exciting show this week..

Ray Barry,  VP of Sales and Marketing at Total Product Destruction talks to us about his new role as President of NAID in 2011.

Contest!!!!

I also launch the “Worst Printed Marketing Piece” contest on the show today.

Scan and send me a brochure, be it bi-fold, tri-fold – sell sheet, that you are not really proud of.

It might be 10 years old… or something you printed just starting out.  It might be a brochure you mistakenly printed with a terrible error on it.

Recognize this contest is not about how you look now – it is about how you looked then.

Just for fun…  and the glory!

We’ll collect these in the next couple of weeks from you, then we’ll let you decide the worst of the worst. You have to listen to the show to know the prize.

You can email me your submission at tom @ flourishpress dot com or use the form on the following page to do so. Contest Submissions

I can’t wait to get your submissions.

And even more cool news!!!!

We also announce our new show sponsorship.

We are thrilled and excited to say that the RIMproReport is now exclusively sponsored by O’Neil Software.

Enjoy the show!

On this week’s show we chat with Ian Thomas of O’Neil Software about trends he is seeing in the RIM service industry.  I encourage you to follow Ian’s Twitter feed as he has great info and updates there.

We also converse with Tom Dumez, VP of HR at Kent Records in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  Tom has led the charge at Kent to ensure all staff understand and comply with HIPAA related requirements in their record center.  Tom is also now helping other RIM service companies ensure staff are HIPAA savvy as well. If you are interested in chatting more with Tom you can reach him via email at “trainings” at “kentrecords” dot com.  Or call his toll free number at 800.536.6681.

Finally, we talk at length with Steve Richards of Richards and Richards about being ready for disaster in you RIM business. With a recent fire in our industry, there is no better person to talk to than Steve.  And as much as many believe they are prepared, this interview should not be missed.  Just listening and implementing one thing Steve talks about in this show could save you some major headaches if anything did ever happen to you.

As always, we include this week’s industry news and a few other things.

For your information, this is the show time blocks.

• Ian Thomas starts at the 5 minute mark,
