Clean Juice will open 60 stores in 2018

Political leaders are studying what’s happening with social media and local Page 2 elections

BY ERICA BATTEN Given its devotion to boosting health, it may seem ironic that organic juice bar Clean Juice is going viral. Since opening its flagship location in Birkdale Village in 2015, stores have appeared in Concord, Mooresville and Davidson, to name a few, and husband-and-wife team Landon and Kat Eckles have awarded franchises in more than a dozen states.

“2018 is going to be a crazy year for us,” said Kat. “We have at least 60 stores opening, which is super exciting.” The franchise fee to own a Clean Juice is $40,000 with 6 percent royalties and 1 percent to a brand marketing fund. It takes between​$250,000 and $500,000 to open a store.

The blog is a good way to explain one’s position on issues that needed more in-depth analysis than a “twosentence Facebook post,” Naas said.

Bilodeau, who is serving is first term on the Cornelius Board of Commissioners, said he also utilized a campaign web site and Facebook page because “having a presence on Facebook in today’s political marketplace or world is important.”

B​ ut, like Naas, Bilodeau preferred pounding the pavement to garner votes over spending time on social media web sites.

bent Mike Militich in the Nov. 7th election. “I think it was a secondary effect,” said Naas, of social media. “I think the voters really looked at the candidates and the campaign as a whole.”

There were negative comments made against Naas, including on the “Exit 28 Ridiculousness” Facebook page, but also plenty of people who supported him online, he said.

“I don’t know if it had any effect,” said Naas. “I just don’t know if you sway people to vote on a community Facebook page.”

Yates called the “Exit 28 Ridiculousness” Facebook page more of a “discussion forum” as opposed to a “united group,” since the page discussed not just things going on around Exit 28 on Interstate 77 but also politics and going-ons in Mooresville and neighboring towns.

BY DAVE VIESER With a new mayor in town, Davidson plans to look for a quick exit strategy from the Continuum/Mi Connection purchase agreement. The $80 million purchase, spread between Davidson and Mooresville, was inked in 2007 to take over a piece of the bankrupt Adelphia system. Thus far, it has cost Davidson almost $10 million.

“The debt service that we pay is a huge financial burden for our town,” said Davidson Mayor Rusty Knox. “It represents about 9.5 percent of our total annual budget. If we didn’t have that yearly expense, projects such as expanding Town Hall, which is badly needed, would be a no brainer.”

Under the terms of the agreement, the cable company serves approximately 17,000 cusvtomers in three towns: Mooresville, Davidson and Cornelius. Mooresville and Davidson make annual debt service payments while Cornelius chose not to participate in the purchase a decade ago.

Mooresville, which has thus far paid $28.3 million in debt service, actually signed the borrowing note in 2007 so “they would have to come to the table with us to work out a possible plan,” Knox said. He plans to reach out to Mooresville officials in the New Year to review possible options. Mooresville Mayor Miles Atkins said he would “welcome the opportunity” to talk to Davidson officials.”

It is difficult for me to predict the outcome...but the towns have always worked well together pursuant to our interlocal agreement.”Some of the incumbent commissioners who lost the election in November had urged the town and its residents to continue to support the cable company until it makes money over and above debt

service, perhaps in three to five years.

Knox didn’t buy that approach and apparently neither did the voters​: Four out of five incumbents lost. (Knox won the Mayor’s post with nearly 57 percent of the votes, compared to 26 percent for incumbent John Woods.

Woods was mayor from December of 2007 to December of 2017.

“Many people are now dropping cable TV in favor of streaming,” Knox said. “A significant number are also doing away with home phones. If we maintain the status quo, the town will actually be put in a losing position down the road, holding the bag on a company which could be falling behind in a rapidly changing industry.”

For their part, Continuum officials say they are continuously working hard to improve the product currently used by their subscribers in the three-​ town service area.

Continuum’s Marketing Director Ellen Baker says the company emphasizes three basic service elements: “We are local, reliable and our focus is on customer care.”

“The new name we recently adopted also represents the many advances we’ve made since our origination in 2007 such as faster internet speeds, new technologies like TV Anywhere and our Continuum Whole Home DVR,” she says.

However, Knox seems intent on getting the town out of the agreement.

“During the campaign I spoke with a number of residents who expressed interest in serving on a steering committee, something which we will certainly consider. Also, one of our new Commissioners, Matthew Fort, has an extensive background in finance and has offered his assistance as well.”

Is a healthy lifestyle contagious?

Q

: I have bought property in other states, and my closing was not conducted by a real estate attorney. Why does North Carolina require that an attorney conduct a real estate closing?

A

: Many aspects of real estate law are State specific. North Carolina has a somewhat unique system that involves a real estate attorney searching and opining on the state of the property’s title to an independent title insurance company or agency. The title insurance company then issues the title insurance commitment or policy, while the real estate attorney conducts the closing, handling of funds, and recording of the documents. A few advantages of the North Carolina JACKSON approved attorney system are: 1. Cost – Involvement of an attorney in the process keeps the overall cost of the transaction down 2. Legal Representation – Attorneys are able to provide legal advice during the closing process 3. Oversight of Attorneys - Attorneys are closely regulated by the State Bar and General Statutes, and most carry malpractice insurance.

4. Oversight of Attorney Trust Accounts - Attorneys’ trust accounts are regulated by both the State Bar and the North Carolina Good Funds Settlement Act These are just a sample of the many benefits to closing your real estate transaction with an approved real estate attorney.

Growth Strategies

It’s a New Year, set some new G.O.A.L.S. cess moving in the desired direction.

And like lassoing a horse, professional selling requires a clear, calm sense of one’s ability and capacity before you approach your subject.

A fresh new year can hold a clear and vibrant set of opportunities, if we prepare well ensuring each challenge can be met with robust efforts fortified with deliberate intent. It’s time to plan. Glean opportunities to lasso sales.

Glean

Set productive goals by gathering relevant information about historical efforts, successes, and failures in one place. Comparing previous plans with final outcomes-both quantitatively and qualitatively—can offer insight that, when considered periodically and linearly during the year, is just not obvious. Be brave: gather it up, be openminded, be frank, and invite everyone in the process to participate equitably.

The ultimate positive results may astonish you.

Opportunities

1. Take time to thoughtfully reflect on successes. What allowed them to occur?

Will you have the same resources, best practices, and opportunities next year? Can you replicate the strongest formulas for success again, or do you need to replace or refine them given changes in the environment?

2. Clarify your action plan.

Carefully dissect failed opportunities—specifically, what were the reasons? Be honest.

Have you eradicated poor habits or culled staff that created prior problems? Failing to change known obstacles or remove obvious barriers leaves the door to failure unsecured.

3. Tally and prioritize your work in process. Newly established customer relationships need to be nurtured in a timely basis. Sales that were cancelled may now be available if the customer’s circumstances have improved.

Incomplete sales talks, halted due to the customers’ end-of-year frantic operations may be easily closed-don’t let them grow stagnant. Repeat annual sales from long-established customers should never be taken for granted; call on them before they call you.

4. What will you do to stretch and innovate this year?

Without calculated risks you may miss valuable options. Brainstorming sessions work well for kicking

off these discussions. Several meetings over a stretch of time can encourage everyone to methodically work out possibilities. And document all your ideas; those not used now may be highly relevant in the future.

Adeptly

Proficiency is derived from combining accurate knowledge, balanced judgment, and purposeful action. Once a sales plan for the year is documented and communicated to all stakeholders, everyone should be held accountable for working the plan. Measuring performance and confirming all areas of the operation are supporting sales through excellence is crucial.

“Can you replicate the strongest formulas for success again, or do you need to replace or refine them given changes in the environment? Clarify your action plan!”

— Cheryl Kane Lasso

Closing a sale is a lot like using a lariat to catch a horse. The required agility of simultaneously cultivating the customer relationship, keeping an eye on the changing competitive environment, and managing operational support efforts behind the scenes can sometimes be done by one—sometimes others are needed to assist.

Sometimes it requires offering customers more time to make a decision to come your way. Sometimes it requires special skill to keep the whole pro-

Sales

The closing of the transaction CHERYL KANE is the objective.

But never forget the long term customer value. You can’t close a deal today that in some way hurts or shortchanges the customer or you won’t get the opportunity to sell to them again. Integrity in every sale process will offer you dividends in the form of future open doors and returned sales calls.

Also, make time to sincerely demonstrate appreciation for your supporters. We easily remember to thank

customers. But don’t forget those who behind-the-scenes pick up the slack when others aren’t looking, do the underappreciated work, or are not in when the bulk of your organization’s staff is present; they make the organization run smoothly, look great, and help create much of the pleasant and safe environment many of us take for granted. Because they so often go unnoticed your appreciation carries an important message of both thanks and inclusion in the organization’s purpose.

Together the entire organization can lasso next year’s sales goals.

Tax reform means bonuses for Aquesta staff

Dec. 22. Tax reform will enable Cornelius-based Aquesta Financial Holdings to give a $1,000 bonus to all employees in January, according to CEO Jim Engel. Aquesta Financial is the parent of Aquesta Bank and Aquesta Insurance.

“Decreased tax rates will allow Aquesta Bank to continue to grow by accelerating lending to small businesses and hiring additional team members to help with that growth,” Engel said.

The bank CEO said most employees will also pay lower taxes in 2018 due to the new law. “We felt that immediate recognition of their importance to Aquesta would send the right message:

Our people are what make Aquesta different,” he said. Aquesta also raised the minimum wage for staff to $15 an hour.

The publicly held company has 95 employees; they did not disclose how many are affected by the minimum wage.

Aquesta’s subsidiary, Aquesta Bank, is the largest community bank headquartered in Mecklenburg County.

Aquesta has offices in Charlotte, Cornelius, Davidson, Huntersville, Mooresville and Wilmington, as well as loan production offices in Greenville and Charleston, SC. Aquesta Insurance Services has offices in Cornelius, Mooresville, Hampstead and Wilmington, as well as Murrells Inlet, SC.

Manufacturers bubbling with optimism as tax reform looks more like a ‘go’ Dec. 18. Things are looking up for 7,800 manufacturers in North Carolina.

The National Association of Manufacturers says manufacturers’ optimism has risen to “unprecedented heights” amid the legislative progress made on tax reform.

Nearly 95 percent of respondents said they are positive about their own company’s outlook. In fact, the optimism quotient is the highest in the 20year history of surveying manufacturers’ outlook. Manufacturing is a key part of the North Carolina economy, accounting for one-fifth of the total output in the state, and employing one in 10 workers.

Total output from manufacturing was $100.07 billion in 2015 in North Carolina, and growing. Average annual compensation was $69,417 in 2015, according to the manufacturers’ association, which is based in Washington, DC. NC Sen. Jeff Tarte said North Carolina has pulled off a massive turnaround in terms of a business-friendly environment. Crediting work started by former NC Rep. Thom Tillis, The Mecklenburg County Republican said North Carolina is among the very best states for business in the US. Forbes says North Carolina has one of the country’s strongest business climates, thanks to low taxes, incentives and a young, educated workforce as well as the smallest union workforce.

In-migration continues unabated, providing a steady stream of workers for growing companies.

On the national front, Republicans released their final tax bill late Friday, which includes some significant changes from earlier discussions. The GOP goal is to pass the tax overhaul package this week in Congress. President Trump wants to sign a bill before year end.

Optimism is at historically high levels this year, averaging 91.8 percent in the four quarters of 2017, up strongly from a 64.3 percent average in 2016.

Still, not everyone is happy. Job losses were severe during the recession and they piled up over the course of a slow recovery. It took almost seven years for North Carolina to reach its way back to the number of jobs that existed before

the recession. By comparison, the state regained pre-recession job numbers within 54 months of the 2001 recession, and only 22 months in the wake of the 1990 and 1981 recessions, according to the NC Justice Center, which suggests the recovery is uneven.

Employment among the disadvantaged has not kept up with growth in other sectors of the population across the country. According to the Justice Center, total employment in North Carolina is 6.5 percent higher than it was on the eve of the Great Reces-

11

sion, but the state’s population has expanded at more than twice that rate (15.6 percent) over the same period.

“This combination of rapid population growth and slow improvements in the job market mean that North Carolina is still well below the level of employment that existed before the Great Recession. Had job offerings in North Carolina kept pace with the pace of population growth over the past 10 years, we would have roughly 375,000 more jobs today than currently exist,” said Patrick McHugh, an economic analyst at Justice Center.

“We are putting more resources into real estate selection and non-traditional sites, marketing efforts, and product development,” Kat said. “There are always opportunities to be better.”

One of the keys to Clean Juice’s early success was the combined strengths of the young entrepreneurs. Landon had worked in management and real estate, where he gained valuable experience but was frequently away from his growing family. The Eckles have five children.

“I had spent the better part of the decade diving into the world of health and wellness, learning all I could, while also developing a love of branding,” Kat said. Once they

Also on the list of non-negotiables was using exclusively organic produce.

Otherwise, Kat said, she wouldn’t be drinking any of the juices or smoothies from their store.

As it turns out, using organic produce is what sets Clean Juice apart from other juice bar franchises, some of which have been around since before Kat and Landon were born. Clean Juice is the nation’s only USDA certified organic juice bar.

The juice bar industry has been bolstered in recent years by the slow food movement and increased media attention on the connection between diet and health.

Customers are also likely to encounter Bible verses on their cups or in other graphics. The Eckles’ faith informs all their decisions, and the family attributes their success to God. The stores are typically around 1,200 square feet and can seat 20 people. Most locations have outdoor seating as well. Metal chairs and reclaimed wood give the space a modern feel.

“We go for a clean, simple design that doesn’t feel overwhelming or muddled,” Kat said. “We want our guests to leave feeling refreshed, not just because they had a healthy, organic smoothie, but because they had a simple, refreshing experience in our store.”

Pat Riley, president and CEO of Allen Tate, shares forecast

BY DAVE YOCHUM Pat Riley, president and CEO of Allen Tate Cos., says ongoing in-migration will continue to support home price appreciation in and around Lake Norman and Cabarrus in 2018.

“In-migration, on top of a limited supply of homes under $400,000, puts additional pressure on appreciation,” RILEY he said.

The dean of residential real estate in North Carolina said the diversity of our “economic profile” helps put the Charlotte real estate market on steady footing.

“When you put transportation, financial services, distribution, energy, defense, university system, airport,

etc. on top of lack of organized labor, cost of living, neighboring mountains and beaches, we are a magnet and will continue to be,” Riley said.

There’s no bubble on the horizon, Riley said: “Maybe in the stock market but not here.”

Selling homes is a growth industry. Allen Tate reported $5.163 billion closed sales volume on 21,595 closings in 2015. In 2016: $5.45 billion closed sales volume on 22,194 closings.

“In 2017, we should be up 2 percent in closed units and up 4-5 percent in closed sales volume,” he said.

A lack of inventory is affecting home prices across the country. According to Zillow, housing inventory declined 10.5 percent in the 12 months ended in November.

According to the Federal Housing Finance Agency, North Carolina’s home appreciation rate was 6 percent; South Carolina’s, 7.2 percent. Riley forecasts an average increase of 5 percent in 2018, with greater gains at the

lower and middle ranges, and smaller gains at the higher elevations.

Prices in Charleston, S.C., are “on fire,” driving up statewide results, he said.

Lake Norman area prices could pack on an additional 1 percent simply because of the lake.

“Remember, all price points are not going up equally due to supply and demand. Under $400,000, properties are appreciating much faster than the upper end,” he said.

Of course, as development burgeons post-recession, there’s less and less property left for new homes.

“That’s exactly why new construction is selling at a 19-30 percent premium,” Riley said.

Meanwhile, Baby Boomers are downsizing at an average age of 74, Riley said, “and not wanting to update the last 10 years of their homeownership life contributes to this lack of supply of homes.”

Slower new construction right

now—about 60 percent of the peak a decade ago—coupled with boomers sitting tight, high in-migration and Millennials just settling into their first homes, mean inventory will continue to be tight in 2018.

“Tear downs will be a huge part of our future, no matter what price point,” Riley said. “Forty-two percent of properties out there are outdated and not feeling the love.”

Rising mortgage rates, he said, will actually help fuel the marketplace in the short term.

“High rents plus above-average appreciation plus interest rate movement equal ‘Get out of lease as soon as you can and jump on the homeownership wagon,’” he said.

The power of social media in local elections

BY BUDD BERRO The North Mecklenburg municipal elections this past November provided the latest and most visible examples of the expanding role of social media in local politics. With platforms such as Facebook and Twitter only becoming accessible to the general public around 2006, the next six years provided an opportunity for those and other mechanisms (including elaborate websites and E-Mail) to fulfill an important role in civic engagement.

As has been observed in many corners of the world, social media is a vital tool that can be used to inform, mobilize, and advocate for various audiences and constituencies, especially those groups of individuals who feel insufficiently represented or informed.

This has also been the case in recent years in North Mecklenburg: While print, broadcast and web-based media (some locally oriented) have tried to provide sufficient local news/analysis coverage within the context of their respective (profit-oriented) business models, a need has continued to exist for additional information, assessment and a challenging of the status quo.

The development within at least the last five years in North Mecklenburg of social media platforms that focus on (for example) major transportation concerns, growth and development, governmental transparency, public health and political representation is a

The Bully-Proof Workplace

Bullies blight the workplace. They harm morale and productivity. But if you understand bullies, you can learn to deal with them. Bullies fall into four categories: “Belier, Blocker, Braggart” and “Brute.” Confronting a bully is difficult, but if you succeed, you may benefit almost immediately. You could feel a weight lift from your shoulders and take pride in your ability as an executive. But, authors Peter. J. Dean and Molly D. Shepard caution in this exhaustive – and sometimes exhausting – manual, if things don’t go well, you could face an even more difficult situation. They offer varied techniques for putting bullies in their place.

getAbstract recommends their guidance to human resource officials, managers and victims of bullies.
