2007 Entrepreneurship of the Year Co-Recipient

(Elkhart, Indiana) - 3/29/2007

Insight Strategic Concepts is proud to celebrate EntrepreneurshipWeek USA (February 24-March 3) by honoring Faithful Friends and Billings Funeral Home, located in Elkhart, Indiana as the 2007 co-recipients of the Insight Entrepreneurship of the Year award.

Faithful Friends Pet Aftercare Services (www.faithfulpetfriends.com) owned and operated by sister and brother team, Beryl Billings and Brad Billings, opened in 2004. Their services aid pet owners during the final stages of their pets’ lives. Due to accidents and terminal illnesses, families frequently face difficult, emotional decisions about the aftercare of their pets. These services include at-home euthanasia coordinated with the pet's vet, cremation or burial arrangements and services, coordination of memorials and memorial services, grief support, and selection of urns, caskets, markers and other keepsake items. These services have been widely embraced by the Elkhart community and beyond. Faithful Friends has led the way in providing a caring and dignified way to say good-bye to pets of all types who play an important role as special family members.

“It has been my pleasure to work with Beryl over the past three years,” states Shelley Moore, founder and strategist of Insight Strategic Concepts® Inc. “Faithful Friends has gracefully and sensitively been there for pet owners during the final stages of their beloved pet’s lives. Time and again customers have commented on the caring and dignified way in which Beryl has helped them say good-bye to their special ‘family members’ at a very difficult time.”

Insight’s criteria for Entrepreneurship of the Year are based on the following:

Streamlined work systems that are proven via customer satisfaction and commitment.

“Our business is all about supporting the growth of entrepreneurs,” states Shelley. “This is a wonderful opportunity for us to celebrate the successes of entrepreneurships such as Billings Funeral Home and Faithful Friends, who work very hard to be leaders in their respective industries. Having this week to celebrate each year will give us a chance to show appreciation and recognize one of many entrepreneurships that are progressive, innovative and have believed in the services that Insight has to offer in helping them be successful. We look forward to making each year an even more expansive celebration for entrepreneurs.”

Congratulations to Faithful Friends!
