It’s Only Common Sense: Your Biggest Competitor Is Complacency
10/27/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseIf I had a nickel for every time I heard, “That’s how we’ve always done it,” I’d own a PCB factory on every continent. That statement deserves to be carved on a tombstone, because it’s a eulogy for innovation, growth, and survival. Customers, markets, and technology don’t care how you’ve always done it. Change is happening every day, and if you’re standing still, you’re not holding your ground; you’re falling behind.

It’s Only Common Sense: Pricing PCBs? It’s All in Their Heads
09/29/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseLet’s talk about pricing—not the math, the spreadsheets, or the cost-plus formula your finance guy loves—but the actual game: perception. If you’re trying to win jobs by being the lowest bidder, you’re not competing; you’re commoditizing yourself. Once you do that, good luck climbing back up the value ladder. You’re no longer a partner; you’re a line item on a spreadsheet.
