Halloween Teaches a Lesson in Client Relations

Halloween just passed and in true 8THIRTYFOUR style, the day was marked with lots of treats…and a few tricks – we like to keep things interesting.
We love holidays – they are a great opportunity to connect with clients, friends, and family in ways that are fun and unique.
For Halloween, we spent some time brainstorming a few different ideas like HalloWINE, Boooo(ze)!, and Halloweenie…and not only did we discover how expensive it is to overnight-ship organic hotdogs, we also spent time as a team thinking about how client engagement aligns with our brand. We landed on a simple gesture and message that while not over the top, taught us two things.

  1. A little goes a long way
  2. Our customers appreciate it

Our Halloween treats weren’t complicated, but they made an impact and made our clients smile.

And now, with Halloween barely behind us, it’s time to start thinking ahead.
End of the year holidays are right around the corner: how will you connect with your customers and clients in meaningful ways that support your brand? If you aren’t sure where to start, we would love to help! Maybe this year your organization could make a donation to a cause you care about instead of sending gifts. Perhaps a New Year’s card is more appropriate. Specific holiday celebrations might not align with your brand, so what is the right fit?
Whatever you decide, just make sure that you have our updated mailing address on your gift list! We kid, we kid. We know you already updated our address months ago.
But seriously, let’s chat about your end of year gifts or celebrations, and create a memorable strategy. Taking the time to brainstorm is not only a great team building exercise but also can have a positive impact on your clients.
 
So, don’t wait. Start planning now!

Something on Your Mind?

Running 8THIRTYFOUR on EOS has allowed our team to find consistency in what we do and given us a framework to hold each other accountable. 

It's why @bodespeaks highlighted it in her latest @fastcompany contribution.

We put everything business owners, employees, and educators told us on the wall, and guess what... yeah, some of it was mean. 

The point is, everyone is saying it about each other, not to each other, and nothing is getting fixed that way. 

Thanks to everyone who showed up to have the Uncomfortable Conversation on the skills crisis, and whether you were there or not, let us know what the next one should be.

Defense and manufacturing run on precision, protocols, and deadlines. When a team miscommunicates... things slip, and the cost adds up.

Kim will be at the Michigan Defense Expo in Detroit on May 13 to talk about the Hard Cost of Soft Skills (or as we call them, survival skills) and what we can all do about it.

If not for you, do it for her. 

@bodespeaks will be talking to @sheleadssocietymi on May 21 about Big Deal Energy™ and what it means to own what makes you - you. 

Don't let mediocre men tell you you're too much. That's on them. 

Come to the talk, it'll be fun. Link in bio.
We always say work smarter, which means bringing in expertise you don't have and hiring people who make your team more complete. 

That's what Kim Bode said in a recent @fastcompany article on building sustainability into your business.
