We have received a great deal of positive feedback since the magazine’s inception one year ago and hope to continue to provide the type of useful information that will help you make the best decisions possible for your business. The foundation of Marcotte’s success is our system of core values, which guides us in everything we do: • Get it done • Do it right • Put the client’s best interests first • Focus on fun and family As we have continued to grow and evolve as a company, these values have been first and foremost in every hiring decision we make. By underscoring these values, we ensure that our team is always rowing in the same direction, working together to please and delight our clients. Part of our mission involves community service, and I am happy to report that during the first year of our “Marcotte Miracles” program of giving back—not just monetarily but through time donated by every employee each quarter—we exceeded our goal by almost twofold. That commitment to helping others drives us at Marcotte every day and strengthens our resolve to work toward our goal of giving away over $1 million over the next 10 years. I like to tell my team here that when they’re in the midst of a tough decision, they should focus solely on the best interests of our clients and act accordingly. When seen through this lens, every decision is transformed from murky gray to black and white with clarity, and the path ahead becomes crystal clear. Best wishes for a successful year-end and enjoy the magazine!
