Richard Allen Inc – Winners of the Q3 Campaign Cup

Posted on by richardalleninc

Attention, blog readers! Our team here at Richard Allen Inc has some exciting news to share. We are the recipients of our client’s 3rd quarter Campaign Cup, and overjoyed is an understatement to describe how we’re feeling! Receiving our trophy and placing it in our office for all to see brought us so much pride and was just what we needed before tackling our fourth-quarter goals. We know that you must have a couple of questions for us. What is the Campaign Cup? Was it an easy achievement? Where do you go from here? All of these will be answered today. Why? Because we believe that success should be celebrated and that knowledge should be shared.

Each quarter, our client bestows one of their national marketing/sales offices with the elusive Campaign Cup. This recipient has to place number one in sales, work with integrity and professionalism, and be a consistent pacesetter. In other words, this was not a popularity contest but one of hard work, strong will, and dedication. Receiving the Campaign Cup is not only an honor we take seriously but a physical form of motivation. It is a beacon of pride and a consistent reminder of what hard work can achieve. This is not the first time that our office has won, and you better believe that it will not be our last. Looking at that shiny trophy is all the boost we need to smash our goals in the fourth quarter.

Winning is always fun, but it is hardly ever easy. To win this past quarter, we had to step up our game. We reevaluated our systems, fueled our brains with daily meetings, books, and podcasts, and consistently encouraged one another. This was not a one-person achievement. It was the outcome of having a team that had a goal they refused to let out of their sights. We all understood that to win, we had to push ourselves out of our comfort zones and take risks. This was far from easy, but looking back, it was well worth the work. These past few months have shaped us into influential business leaders and has prepared us to make 2020 our best year yet!

Unfortunately, in the real world, you don’t get a trophy for participating. You get a trophy for winning! Our team here at Richard Allen Inc understands this concept better than most. There have been quarters where our best just wasn’t enough. We took these failures in stride and used them as motivation to improve. Now, look where we have landed! We currently have a beautiful Campaign Cup trophy shining brightly in our office. Our team feels encouraged and is mentally ready to tackle our goals!

Who knew that winning could feel this good?! We always knew that hard work eventually equals success, but the work that it takes to get there can sometimes feel like you’re running in place. This achievement has given us a mental boost, and we are now ready to take on the world, or at least the fourth quarter (haha)! Hopefully, our win has energized you and reminded you of why you are showing up to work each day. Remember, life is all about the journey! When you focus on the ride and not just the destination, your abundances will be bountiful. 

Hayley Bracco Travels to the Sunshine State

Posted on by richardalleninc

No matter where she is located, the east coast or the west, our Client Account Manager, Hayley Bracco, is always at the top of her game. Recently, she was asked by our client to pilot a new campaign and train in San Francisco and to say that she knocked the ball out of the park would be an understatement. As one of our top performers here at Richard Allen Inc, we knew that she was the perfect candidate for this task. Hayley understands the needs of our clients, their customers, and our business! Today, we sat down with Hayley to learn a little more about her history with us and to get the inside scoop on how her trip went. Continue reading for all of the details!

Hey, Hayley! Can you describe your start with Richard Allen Inc, including your position and its responsibilities?

Hey! Absolutely. I was recruited by our amazing recruiting team, Natalie and Natasha. Richard Allen Inc was the first position that I interviewed for and I decided that the atmosphere was a great fit for me! I did not have any sales experience prior to working here and am thankful for the training that I was provided. Currently, I am a Client Account Manager. My main responsibilities include conducting second-round interviews, team building, retention, and development. I have also taken on various human resources responsibilities, as well as serving as a mentor and leader to others. 

Thanks! Talk with us a little about your professional development within our company.

Like I said earlier, I started here with no experience in sales. I was just willing to learn new skills and understood the growth opportunities that were being offered. My starting position was as an Account Representative. I was able to reach a leadership role within my first week by listening and applying all of the training I was given. After this first promotion, I was able to slowly take on more responsibilities within the office, increase my production, and showcase my leadership abilities. Next, I was taught how to conduct interviews and how to train entry-level employees. Throughout this experience, I have been able to grow due to having a strong work ethic and constantly thinking about my growth!

 Why were you chosen to work with our company’s newest client and flown out to San Francisco for training?

I was chosen because I demonstrated leadership skills, a strong work ethic, and was consistently exceeding production standards. From the start, I have been willing to learn from others and eager to take on more responsibilities. 

What was the most memorable experience while you were out there?

The most memorable experience I had was the learning experience. San Francisco is a completely different market with a completely different client. It was an exciting experience to be able to have creative input and really help to make this campaign and market succeed. It was challenging to alter my pitch in order to fit our new client’s product; there was a lot of trial and error, but, in the end, I learned valuable skills and lessons. I feel like a stronger leader and can now say that I have some amazing memories with my colleagues in California!

What does working with a new client mean to Richard Allen Inc?

Working with a new client means that Richard Allen Inc is continuing to grow and expand. This is a new opportunity and a privilege for the entire company! It gives us reassurance that we are respected for our high integrity and our commitment to producing. Also, working with a new client creates new opportunities within our company. New clients give us the chance to promote team members and expand into different markets!

How do you plan on helping our company and our client grow?

I plan on helping our company and our client grow by working with integrity. I am going to continue to learn, develop my strengths, and strengthen my weaknesses. I will take responsibility and understand the control that I have over my opportunity. By maintaining these values, I will earn the right to interview and train others so that I can duplicate myself and build a strong team. This will allow Richard Allen Inc to be successful and for us to have the resources available to help our client expand into more markets across the country.

Hayley, thank you so much for your time. We appreciate you and look forward to seeing all that you accomplish over the upcoming months!
