This past weekend I visited my friends in Iowa City. On my way back to Des Moines, I stopped at the Tanger Outlet Mall in Williamsburg, Iowa. If you are fairly new to central Iowa, or you have been a long time resident and never been to the Tanger Outlet mall I strongly suggest you go, the mall features name brand clothing at discounted prices and can help any budget, especially for school shopping.
Typically when I go shopping, I rarely try any clothes on at the store, I know my pant size and shirt size to the t. But since I was in Williamsburg, (roughly 80-90 miles east of Des Moines), I decided it would be in my best interest to try on the pants I was going to purchase.
Unfortunately they didn't fit, and I didn't find the pants I was looking for (sorry Tanger Outlet Mall). On the way back home I did some calculations if I was to take my traditional shopping approach, $50 for the pants, $30 for gas to get there, $30 for gas to get back= $110, in addition to the time needed for travel; all to return a pair of pants that I should have tried on at the store. Truthfully, the shopping bag would have sat in my room, or in my car or even worse get lost, I would probably be out $50.
In today's world, businesses take similar approaches in filling vacant positions. Time and money is spent on the job advertisement, time and money is spent on scanning through resumes and applications, time and money is spent on skills testing and screening, all leading up to the critical "first day" for the new employee. After a few weeks one of two scenarios occur: A- the employee works well or B- the employee isn't "the right fit" and all that time and money spent on filling a vacant position is lost, and the position still remains vacant.

Imagine the nightmare women have shopping for clothes. At least with men's clothes there is a pretty consistent sizing system. Not so for women's clothes. A size 8 in one store can fit like a size 4 in another store.
Consistency is very important in business. That is one thing I like about Arbonne products. The company makes sure every time you purchase a product, it is the same high-quality.
Consistency and "right fit" are important business qualities.
