Good business news with optimistic outlooks are<br \/>\nfew and far between.<\/p>\n<p>Last night, finally, some positivity. Once again, I was invited to the<br \/>\nannual SEIKO dealers dinner, a rather low key, almost private event.<br \/>\nSeiko&#8217;s way of saying &#8216;we appreciate your business&#8217;. A handful of top<br \/>\nperforming independent Seiko retailers, from all states, familiar faces,<br \/>\n a friendly atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>The core message was delivered in a typical Japanese way: modestly, but<br \/>\nto the point. The last financial year was Seiko Australia&#8217;s best on<br \/>\nbooks. Seiko is not just doing great, but setting new sales records. It<br \/>\nfeels fantastic being a part of the winning team.<\/p>\n<p>More good news; thanks to a decision made by Japanese headquarters, all<br \/>\nthe profit generated in Australia, stays in Australia. Seiko&#8217;s plan is<br \/>\nto invest in advertising and training. Smart.<\/p>\n<p>Yet the detail that impressed me the most: if you are a Seiko employee<br \/>\nwith 10 years of service, you are still a youngster. Most of their sales<br \/>\n executives, sales reps, state managers and technicians have been with<br \/>\nSeiko for fifteen, twenty and some even thirty years.<br \/>In a world where corporate loyalty is measured in months, where climbing<br \/>\n the ladder means relentless skips from job to job, Seiko employees are<br \/>\nhappy to stay, learn, be trained, remain loyal. To us, they come across<br \/>\nas being genuinely fulfilled, rewarded and excited. Their contribution<br \/>\nis appreciated and valued. What more can someone ask from their<br \/>\nemployer?<\/p>\n<p>The unspoken words of the event were even more powerful. Not once was<br \/>\nthere a mention of competition, Switzerland, or other brands. True to<br \/>\nits core founding value, from the days of Kintaro Hattori &#8211; &#8220;Always one<br \/>\nstep ahead of the rest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Powerful industry leaders lead, fearlessly. The Seiko way, for many decades to come.<\/p>\n<p><em>Nicholas Hacko<br \/>Watchmaker and Premium Seiko Dealer<\/em><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/clockmaker.us7.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=27872ef1eb15e92361d40e896&amp;id=488ea2c594&amp;e=2d4f3023d8\" style=\"color: #007c89; text-size-adjust: 100%;\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/seiko.clockmaker.com.au\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to trade and commerce, we live in strange times.
