After attending the 2017 DCS Central Region Kickoff in
Columbus, Ohio I feel compelled to give some feedback about the event. As
the former VP of Operations of the Central Region from 2007-2013, I knew
I was going to experience a wave of emotions. During my time in the
region I was fortunate to be involved in 7 kickoff meetings. Each one of
them was different, but it felt like we got better each year. My farewell
to the region was in Louisville, Kentucky in January of 2014. During
my speech on Friday evening I was overcome with many emotions.
Ultimately I knew the region was going to be in great hands under the
leadership of Andrew Deblock and Adam Kleeh. My emotions were centered
around the drivers and leaders that I had grown close to, as well as the
clients we served.
So, it was a real blessing to see the first-class production
that we all witnessed this past weekend. The teamwork that went into
putting on an event of that size was obvious to anyone who watched the behind-the-scenes
preparation on Thursday evening. The interaction between the 23 professional
drivers and your region leaders during the Friday awards presentation was
natural and heartfelt. Each award that was shared with the drivers and
managers was valued. The pinnacle of the night was the Driver of the Year
presentation.
The entire weekend was time well spent. I am so
fortunate to have been able to come back in my current sales role and see how
people have grown and matured in their professional lives. As we continue
to grow in Dedicated Contract Services we will need great people. That is
the key differentiator that sets us apart from the competition.
Thanks for allowing me to share our sales goals with your people. We have
already seen leads being shared with our new business development
executives. Leads, references and retention of current accounts are all
keys to us exceeding our growth goals. With partners like the Central
Region operations team, I know we are in good hands for the future.
