SELLING DAC WITH LYDIA |
|
 Hello
everyone,I do hope we find you and yours in the very best of health. I don't know about you, but this year seems to have gone quicker than ever before. I was recently trying to establish whether I had achieved the goals that I set way back in January and realised that I have crossed some off my list, but alas some I have not. However, this is not helped by the fact that I blinked and found myself writing my Christmas Call Sign article - how did that happen! I started with DaC just after Sept 11 2002, so had never seen such volumes as last year delivered. It was always said that it would take five years to recover from that atrocity and during 2006 we have since seen unprecedented volumes throughout the industry. Clearly since last year’s Olympics announcement, there has been a great deal of investment in London. The knock-on effects of mergers and acquisitions in the banks are clear when you see how busy the legal companies are - they all go hand in hand. This coupled with all the efforts from the Sales Team has meant we have gained some great new accounts this year, so once again I implore you to do everything you can to support all of our efforts by covering our account work. When I returned from Crete in early October, we decided that as it had been such an amazing year for the company, we should not spoil it and temporarily stopped opening new accounts in order to protect service levels. This decision seems to have paid dividends and has not only gained us respect from existing customers, but also with those new ones we have lined up to do business with in 2007. I am sure you can imagine that since that decision was taken, how hard it has been sitting in at some very high profile meetings and then having to turn down significant volumes of work! Whilst it seemed early, this was the right thing to do. Christmas has certainly come early this year - the figures prove that. In truth, we simply could not deliver our product without all the different elements that make up DaC, so it’s important to recognise everyone's efforts throughout the year and I want to take the time to |
thank our
drivers and all the team here at HQ, there has been a tremendous amount of work and great achievements for which we should all be very proud. With the New Year ahead and the move to the new building, organic growth is very much on our agenda. I would also like to wish you the best of luck with the incentive, how fantastic to have three Peugeots up for grabs - I don't see our competitors being able to boast such stories! We are also celebrating 10 years of Brian's Chairmanship this month, so I would like to extend a big well-done from the Sales team for all his outstanding efforts and length of service. Yoga!! Wishing you a wonderful Christmas time from both Natalie and
myself… Until next time... Lydia Foulkes |
