Core Values of BLU

Make Meaningful Connections for Each Other
Listening is a key skill set and when one member needs a connection with a key individual or company that we have an established relationship with, we connect the two together. We feel that if a member can do this, then they are likely to have the same practice in the work place.

Teach Others Something Valuable
Iron sharpens iron and we truly believe that our customers expect and deserve the very best from us. This can be accomplished by not only learning from our customers, and industry, but those with years of proven experience in the business and service world. Learning from one another and sharing ideas to bring the very best to our industry and customers is key to success and a better business.

 

Do Business With One Another
Knowing firsthand how a company operates and treats customers makes recommending them that much easier. Our communities are healthier when quality businesses and solo professionals thrive and when this happens it generally doesn’t leave room for those who do not put the customer first and provide the right solutions. For these reasons, we do business with each other and hold each other accountable to providing great products, and services.

 

Refer One Another
We want our customers, friends, and family members to get the best products and services available at fair prices. We put in the time and effort to find the best people to work with. Once we do this we make that information available to our customers by referring business to each other.

At BLU, we hold each other accountable. We strive for both individual and team success. We feel that when this is the mentality and approach an individual or company takes the biggest winner is the customers we serve.

It’s important for potential customers to understand that Membership in BLU requires a demonstrated dedication of time, resources and effort. BLU members are held to high standards and members of our team will be removed from our membership if they fail to adhere to our requirements and standards.
