Today is the first day of a new weekly feature here on Fridays where I am going to turn things over to you. I am thinking that after working thanklessly all week you might like an opportunity to toot your own horn about something you accomplished during the week that you are proud of. Maybe you did not get the recognition you feel like you deserved. So post a comment here and let us all know so we can all be proud of you as well. I am not looking to give you space to run a free ad for your company, and I will probably remove your post if that is all it is, this should be more interactive. Your post can be about anything you did are proud of, and it can certainly highlight your company, you can even link to it and promote your capabilities.
After a long week, we can all pat each other on the back and do a little virtual networking at the same time.
I will start the post off each week with mine. Here goes:
My company and our parent company sell printer supplies, among other things. We were picked by our supplier to go direct with HP on a new print management program, where the customer installs some software on their network, and it then monitors their printers and automatically orders toner when they need it, as well as tells them when they need paper, schedules maintenance, alerts them to problems, etc…basically it manages their fleet of printers so they don’t have to, and it allows them to order toners as they need them rather than tie up their money in extra toners sitting on shelves.
It was kind of cool for our company to get picked as a provider to offer this maintenance program, but this happened a while ago, and honestly we are having a hard time signing up new customers for this program. Actually, none of our salespeople had managed to sign a contract yet.
Well anyway, it looks like yours truly has landed the first contract company-wide!
I am proud of that. Now, tell me what you did this week.
