Concept One Accessories
Let’s see .. never heard of Concept One Accessories? Consider this: did you ever buy major League Baseball accessories? How about Looney Tunes stuff? If these two do not ring a bell (although … what is that hat you’re wearing?)), maybe NBA stuff sounds somewhat familiar.
If you ever bougth any of these brands along with tens of other major brands, chances are you have brought Concept One Accessories home with you. And if that is correct, then you are part of Sam’s story (no, not Uncle Sam) with Concept One Accessories.
Sam Hafif started his company back in 1999. He was 32 when that happened. Back in 1999, Sam knew what ticket to bet his money on: best of the best talent, to help him build his dream. Sam’s company was featured in 2008 in Entrepreneur’s HOT 100 The Fastest-Growing businesses in America. This is an honorable nomination and a well deserved one.
If you don’t know what that means, let me contextualize this for you: out of the nearly 21 million US businesses, only 0.3% (64,000 businesses) meet the set criteria for being considered for HOT 100. Out of 64,000, only 0.00156% makes it to the HOT 100 list. If you think percentages, one’s chance to get on that list is … well: extremely thin.
In spite of all this, Concept One Accessories is growing healthy and fast and according to Sam Hafif, the key to success is hiring the best of the best.
Is recruting the best of the best talent on top of your list of priorities?
