Flom. The New Hybrid Dessert – Episode 12

Sorry for the silence last week - we had Snowpocalypse 2012 over here!  

Anyway, a few weeks ago, I wrote about the industry award competitions that we enter…well sometimes; we attend the banquets when they announce the winners.  We went to one at a very famous location once and I don’t know what happened with the catering at this place (the previous year was delicious), but we had a heck of a time with the meal.  

Beware the Energy Czar! – Episode 11

As you may now be aware, AllpakTrojan is a very sustainable company.  In fact, many of our initiatives are employee driven, such as our recycling program and transportation program.  One of our employees, a creative chap named Jason, started another interesting program…issuing citations for energy infractions.

Giddy Up Cowboy! – Episode 8

The other day, the marketing team went to IKEA to get some supplies to refresh our tour lounges.  We really did need the supplies, but I secretly think we were going just for the cup o’ meatballs for $1.  You can’t beat their little café at the checkout area.  

Irate Customers, We’ve Got You Covered – Episode 7

Luckily we don’t get a lot of customer complaints, but in business they are sometimes a fact of life.  Because we take them very seriously and to ensure they are handled appropriately, we decided to institute a more formal Customer Feedback & Satisfaction Process incorporated into our Vision ERP system.  Before rolling the whole process out and training everyone, I decided to "test" it out first on a few of our Customer Service Representatives.  

Pick Me! Pick Me! – Episode 6

Although AllpakTrojan has an in-house structural and graphic design center comprised of very talented people (you should take advantage of these services if you haven’t already), we have a ton of creative people working in various other departments too.  To tap into this font of imagination, we held our 1st Annual Employee Photo Contest recently.  We had a whopping 112 entries and all the employees got to vote on their 1st, 2nd, 3rd and Honorable Mention choices.
