It makes the Long Haul smoother

As I mentioned two weeks ago, my focus is on the long haul; Best Practices.

It's been great to watch those who've risen to the occasion over the past month in Alethes Wholesale. We've had more new business in the past month than we've had in the past 6 months.

We've had more people engaged in the business of doing what it takes than ever before. Gail Petty and Kathy Nguyen have both received Real Sales awards. Angie has crossed departmental lines to insure our shipping turn-times have stayed true. Roy Whitlock has been giving me more numbers and data, and with a smile, than I could handle (almost). Christy Meaux has been data mining our CRM as if there was gold hidden deep inside! Thanks Christy for feeding the Dialing for Dollars Sales Team with fresh leads. Oh, and I love those reports!

Jason and Curtis have had one afternoon in the past 2 weeks where they had 29 locks - now that was exciting! And Scott - what a programming fool he's become! In addition to the new web site (thanks Scott, Ben, and Jeremy) we've have a new "intra-net" that gives us all sorts of data and numbers at a glance.

Erin has been working AUS files like she was a mad-woman. Erin's also been part of the Dialing for Dollars Sales Team that's included John Bentham, Christy Meaux, Mary Reynolds, Austen Smith, Paul Findley, Chris Margiotta, Joe McCubbin, and Brad Burnie.


Thanks for Best Practices everyone.
