CHECK YOUR POCKETS.
In 1891, Swiss Master Cutler Karl Elsener fashioned a multifunctional pocket knife for his fellow countrymen in military service. The “Soldier’s Knife” contained tools, required by each and every soldier, in a casing compact enough to fit into one’s pocket.
BUSINESSES HAVE POCKETS TOO,
and like soldiers they’re lined with the tools required to accomplish their missions. Some of these tools are people, and some people are multifunctional. I am an individual Swiss Army Knife. And as such, I offer quick access to a wealth of experience and capabilities.
