How Consistent Are You in Buying American-Made Products?
Austin, Texas: I had dinner the other night with an executive of a large American factory — and he picked me up in his black 2012Mercedes-Benz Cabriolet E350 RWD.
Beautiful car. Wrong message.
How can this person expect his customers to support American jobs when he is buying a car that is not Made in America!??!
Are you being consistent in your purchases – and continuously seeking for an American-made alternative?
If not, why not?
If you are promoting an “American-Made culture” then you need to live it.
Breathe it.
Immerse yourself in it.
You car should be American-Made.
Your watch, your clothing, etc. should be American-made.
Re-train yourself (and your employees and family) to look for American-made products first and foremost.
Change your buying patterns and behaviors.
If you sell American-made products–you need to be buying American-made products.
Not from time to time.
But all the time.
Remember, the American job you save may be your own.
