Whether we arrive early or with unwavering enthusiasm, we're all asked to, as the book "Raving Fans" says, "Deliver Your Vision Plus 1 Percent." It's the people who execute the culture at Datamax, and people who Create Raving Fans.
So, What's your 1 percent?
You don’t have to travel far at all into our Little Blue Book to understand that “the execution of a culture, of course, comes down to people.”
Those are the exact words from friend and longtime Datamax Consultant Mike Riordan on page 1 of the book. He goes on to write, “The team at Datamax executes their Culture brilliantly. These people are Real People. They care about their customers and equally as important, they care about each other."
