Month 7- December 2013

This is my last post of the year and there’s so much to reflect on from the past 7 months that I’ve been in the MDP program. Not long ago I started out pulling orders in the warehouse for customers, and now I’ve been at the counter for the past few months selling our products. Boy how the time flies! Even though there’s always more to learn, I truly feel confident and proficient in my ability to service our customers, which is the key to our business model.

 

Earlier this month I spent a few days at our FL regional forecast reviews. Forecast reviews are held once a year for every single profit center manager in our company. This is a time for PCMs (profit center managers) to look back on the previous year’s successes and identify opportunities for growth. PCMs have such a unique opportunity to sit down with the President and Vice President of our company and discuss what their plan for the next year will be. My mentor and I had a great review and there’s a lot for my profit center to look forward to in the upcoming year!

During the forecast reviews, I was able to hear presentations from key people involved with different aspects of our company. From our new website user tools to how to execute a solid action plan, I learned a ton. One of Hajoca’s key values has always been to consistently develop its people; I definitely left the forecast review meetings feeling re-energized and re-focused on what my purpose is as an MDP. I’m so excited to see what’s in store for me.
