Wow! Mentoring the leader

Some of you have heard a lot about our company officer ——— and are unsure what his role is. Hereโ€™s the deal: other than being extraordinary (which is a characteristic and not a role), he is a professional and personal mentor to me. He has vast experience in leading and mentoring. He offers a fabulous mix of bedside manner and discipline that has served me and our company well. He also โ€œgetsโ€ both of the businesses we run, Abrige and C-Secure Systems, and continuously networks to uncover market needs and generate leads.

Hereโ€™s our โ€œwowโ€ for this week: โ€œWOW!โ€, for not only introducing us into the marketโ€ฆ I give a resounding thank you for helping me to become a better leader and to keep our company aligned with its vision without falling out of line with our strong values.

Why is this โ€œwow!โ€? The company leadership sets the tone and direction for all. As we grow and become visible it can be so appealing to try and do everything and to say โ€œyesโ€ to other leaders and so-called experts that, if listening to intuition, this intuition (a gut feeling that โ€œknowsโ€ our values and purpose) is screaming โ€œno.โ€

Wow! Attracting a strong team

We are positioning ourselves to great improvement in visibility, our front line theme, thanks for ——–.

Hereโ€™s our โ€œwowโ€ for this week: โ€œWOW!โ€, for so quickly building a sales team for C-Secure Systems!!!

Why is this โ€œwow!โ€? Not only has he continued to seek connections with new prospective customers and improve our message as targeted to those customers, he also has attracted to C-Secure one other senior- and two junior- sales professionals.

Why is it important? We have an unmatched turn-key tailored solution for monitoring, managing, securing and gaining intelligence from and about machines (and vehicles, structures, etc.)โ€ฆyet we are almost invisible. Yes, we have a website. We waited too long to get it optimized so we are contacted infrequently (good news: when we do get calls they are highly qualified already). Although we are fixing this now, the clock is ticking! In fact we need to be well locked-in with customers f-a-s-tโ€ฆbefore we become well-known to competitors. I have confidence in him. He and his growing team will better find, engage and close deals.

Congrats!

P.S.S The mix of people provided in the first โ€œWowโ€ email has changed! Some gone, several added. The newest ones are not seeing this yet, and they will be introduced soon. In every case I see improvement. This is what having themes (ours are Stability! And Visibility!) can do for a company, especially when themes are also aligned with our purpose and mission/values. They are. And so are our people. For those of you seeing this email, I am thrilled to have you here. Please continue to find us great people as we grow!
