"In matters of style, swim with the current. In matters of principle, stand like a rock” (Little Blue Book). Both scenarios remain in fashion at Datamax, where we stay relevant, but also rock solid in our beliefs.
Have you given any thought to this question: “What’s your professional style? Your brand?”
As the President, one of my “style points” is to remain both approachable and personable. That’s the reason I make my stroll through the office every morning to greet employees, to get a sense of what they’re thinking, how they’re feeling.
President, Datamax Inc.
Style Point #1: Swimming with the current. That means being aware of, and moving with, a fast-changing technology environment. DFW Solutions Specialist Rachel Rhodes (pictured) on keeping pace, and Little Rock Account Representative Kristina Prichard on developing her own signature style.
Security is a haute topic, whether customers are actively considering current vulnerabilities, or unaware of the risks associated with their print devices. We share 5 topics to get the conversation started.
Through some big-time collaboration, teammates in East Texas came up with a plan — the Multiply Meals Plan, an ongoing donation program with the East Texas Food Bank.
The duck dive is an essential part of being a competent surfer - and you'd better know your style. Its technique can also help organizations dive through and conquer their mounting waves of paper documents.
Style Point #4: Seasons (and styles) change, but standing like a rock means not wavering in our core beliefs. With the Little Blue Book as a reference point, VP of Service Steve Kennemer shares three of his own.
Charles Williams
Hot Springs
Charles Williams has been in and out of customers’ offices for much of his career. He understands the types of positive interactions he creates, and a fast arrival, make a big difference. But for this technician, there's more to it than that.
Brad Grohmann
Saint Louis
Brad says he appreciates a culture that understands and supports your responsibilities to your family outside of the workplace in addition to your responsibilities to Datamax. It's helped mold his professional life - and that outside of it.
Becki Whitman
Dallas/Fort Worth
Becki Whitman isn't afraid to tell a CFO his or her numbers are wrong (but only because she's done her homework). She also doesn't hesitate to give out her cell phone, because she wants them to know: She's always available.
