When Cutting Just Doesn’t Cut It: CPS is in your corner (Part 7 of 7)
when-cutting-just-doesnt-cut-it-cps-is-in-your-corner-part-7-of-7<p>A cut up is someone who is funny. But that does not mean that it is funny to cut. For instance, some cuts are the opposite of up and therefore they are downright sad. Want proof? Have you ever been undercut? It stinks. It's no fun. And it is definitely not a laughing matter. Do you see why cutting out the middle man is such a depressing thought?</p> <p>This is part 7 of 7 on a series of why you don't want to cut out the middle man; and the number six reason is … well, uh … us.</p> <p>Not everybody is a Rocky fan, but that's just because nobody's perfect. Rocky is a metaphor for the entrepreneurial spirit. You start from scratch, you have doubters everywhere you turn, and then, after immense struggle, you eventually rise to victory. But if you'll recall, Rocky didn't rise to victory without someone in his corner, as Mick used to say it, like an angel on your shoulder, see?</p> <p>Well that is what CPS is to your business. We are like that angel on your shoulder. And when things get tough and you feel like you're going down this little angel is gonna whisper in your ear. It's gonna say, ˜Get up [and fight] ˜cause CPS loves you'. Okay?</p> <p>Now that may be a bit corny, and the more I think about it, there is no maybe about it. It is definitely corny. However, it is also quite true. We work and we ache and we worry for your success. We fight for faster lead times, we beg for better pricing, we grind out the research, and we labor through your supply chain. And here is the part that is interesting and the most important … we love it. Really we do. It's in our blood. We bring that passion everyday to your fight for your business.</p> <p>Now … not only do we work hard, but we are so stinking nice while we do it. We really try hard to make your experience a pleasant one and we hope that we can help you find a sense of packaging nirvana. We know how to turn a bottle into bliss, a jar into jubilance, a tin into triumph, a pump into pleasure, and a container into contentment. If this sounds ridiculous and slightly exaggerated – it's because it is both of those things. I am merely using the literary tool of hyperbole to evoke strong feelings while not intending to be taken literally. However, here at CPS, we can get about as close as anyone could to achieving the above results.</p> <p>Admittedly, there will be times when situations crop up that are not ideal, but we always try and provide multiple options and ideas to help you get through the rough patches. The business world is tough, there will be times when you feel like giving up, but just remember, we are that angel on your shoulder. We'll get you through, because we're in your corner. Rocky, without Mick, isn't Rocky!</p> <p>Read the entire series:<br /> <a title=When Cutting Doesn't Cut It: Good cuts and bad (Part 1 of 7) href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/blog/2013/03/when-cutting-doesnt-cut-it-good-cuts-and-bad-part-1-of-7/>Part 1: Good cuts and bad</a><br /> <a title=When Cutting Doesn't Cut It: It's all about price (Part 2 of 7) href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/blog/2013/03/when-cutting-doesnt-cut-it-its-all-about-price-part-2-of-7/>Part 2: It’s all about price</a><br /> <a title=When Cutting Just Doesn't Cut It: Amalgamation is Good (Part 3 of 7) href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/blog/2013/04/when-cutting-just-doesnt-cut-it-amalgamation-is-good-part-3-of-7/>Part 3: Amalgamation is good</a><br /> <a title=When Cutting Just Doesn't Cut It: The Freight Factor (Part 4 of 7) href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/blog/2013/04/when-cutting-just-doesnt-cut-it-the-freight-factor-part-4-of-7/>Part 4: The freight factor</a><br /> <a title=When Cutting Just Doesn't Cut It: Middlemen stock stuff (Part 5 of 7) href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/blog/2013/04/when-cutting-just-doesnt-cut-it-middlemen-stock-stuff-part-5-of-7/>Part 5: Middlemen stock stuff</a><br /> <strong><a title=When Cutting Just Doesn't Cut It: You Need Expertise (Part 6 of 7) href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/blog/2013/05/when-cutting-just-doesnt-cut-it-you-need-expertise-part-6-of-7/>Part 6: You need expertise </a></strong><br /> <a title=When Cutting Just Doesn't Cut It: CPS is in your corner (Part 7 of 7) href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/blog/2013/05/when-cutting-just-doesnt-cut-it-cps-is-in-your-corner-part-7-of-7/>Part 7: CPS is in your corner</a></p> <hr /> <p><a href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/guides/PDF/When_Cutting_Doesn't_Cut_It.pdf><img src=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/guides/images/whencuttingdoesntcutit.jpg alt=When Cutting Doesn't Cut It border=0 /></a></p> <h3>When Cutting Doesn’t Cut It:<br /> 6 Reasons Why Cutting Out the Middle Man Is An Epically Stupid Idea</h3> <p>Download a slightly compressed <a href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/guides/PDF/When_Cutting_Doesn't_Cut_It.pdf>PDF version of this 7 part series</a> from our <a href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/guides/>CPS How-To Guides library</a>, or <a href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/guides/whencuttingdoesntcutit.asp>read it all online</a></p> <hr /> <p> </p>
