00:00:00.440 –> 00:00:06.760
So I’ve been working here at ABC four years
this February. What I love about working at ABC is, you

2
00:00:06.960 –> 00:00:10.320
know, it’s family oriented and
I come from a big family.

3
00:00:10.520 –> 00:00:15.080
My grandmama had ten kids–six boys,
four girls, my mom being the oldest.

4
00:00:15.280 –> 00:00:19.360
So coming into
the interview and everything, I’m like, I

5
00:00:19.420 –> 00:00:21.920
felt the love when I first
came into the interview.

6
00:00:22.120 –> 00:00:25.560
So and just I just love coming into

7
00:00:25.760 –> 00:00:29.640
the office every morning. It just gives
me joy because I love being here.

8
00:00:29.840 –> 00:00:32.200
The reason why I chose to come of ABC is

9
00:00:32.200 –> 00:00:35.640
because I wanted to get out of corporate
America, and I wanted a career change.

10
00:00:35.840 –> 00:00:41.760
And being here has
enabled me to grow within the company.

11
00:00:41.960 –> 00:00:48.800
ABC has impacted my life a lot because
my son at the time I started was a

12
00:00:49.000 –> 00:00:53.280
junior in high school and the job
before required me to work weekends.

13
00:00:53.480 –> 00:00:57.880
He played football for Cedar Hill High
School, and I wanted to go to games and,

14
00:00:58.080 –> 00:01:02.320
you know, be that football mom. And
here I was Monday through Friday.

15
00:01:02.520 –> 00:01:06.560
They let me off early on Fridays to
go to the games and see him play.

16
00:01:06.760 –> 00:01:08.520
So I enjoyed that.

17
00:01:08.720 –> 00:01:11.160
We get gold stars. We have some someone

18
00:01:11.360 –> 00:01:14.160
that listens to our calls,
and if it is a good call,

19
00:01:14.200 –> 00:01:16.960
they’ll come out and ring the
bell, and I’ll get a gold star.

20
00:01:17.160 –> 00:01:19.520
And we have on our desks,
they’ll put a gold star.

21
00:01:19.720 –> 00:01:24.200
And if you get so many gold stars, you
get you can get your lunch bought

22
00:01:24.400 –> 00:01:29.560
and the end of the week of your choice. You can get
to wear jeans in a day during the week

23
00:01:29.760 –> 00:01:32.000
besides on Fridays. The gold stars,

24
00:01:32.000 –> 00:01:33.080
everybody loves the gold stars.

25
00:01:33.080 –> 00:01:34.480
Everybody have these cowbells on their desk

26
00:01:34.680 –> 00:01:37.400
so when the person that listens to

27
00:01:37.600 –> 00:01:42.280
the calls come out, she’ll ring the bell, and we
clapping and, you know, we trying

28
00:01:42.280 –> 00:01:44.000
to see what names
are you going to say?

29
00:01:44.190 –> 00:01:45.840
Who gets the Gold Star for today?

30
00:01:46.040 –> 00:01:47.600
I always have great experience with my

31
00:01:47.800 –> 00:01:52.080
customers because when I answer the
phone, I’m the only one to says, Thanks

32
00:01:52.260 –> 00:01:53.920
for calling ABC.
This is Nikki.

33
00:01:53.920 –> 00:01:55.320
How can I make you smile today?

34
00:01:55.520 –> 00:01:57.600
And they immediately like,
“Oh my God, I love it.”

35
00:01:57.600 –> 00:01:59.840
And I’m like, “Oh, I guess
I made you smile today.”

36
00:02:00.040 –> 00:02:04.200
And when I set the tone and I
I know I’m going to have a good call.

37
00:02:04.400 –> 00:02:07.080
One call that I got

38
00:02:07.280 –> 00:02:09.200
the mister was really angry.

39
00:02:09.390 –> 00:02:13.040
He wanted to cancel services and he
had like multiple accounts with us.

40
00:02:13.240 –> 00:02:17.040
So this particular call I got and
I answered the phone with my greeting.

41
00:02:17.050 –> 00:02:19.200
“Hey, this is Nikki.
How can I make you smile today?”

42
00:02:19.400 –> 00:02:22.040
He immediately said, “I don’t think you
will make me smile today.”

43
00:02:22.160 –> 00:02:23.880
And I was like, “Well, we’ll see by the

44
00:02:24.080 –> 00:02:27.920
end of the call. I ended up selling
him another service.

45
00:02:28.120 –> 00:02:30.240
And he end up calling back and, you know,

46
00:02:30.440 –> 00:02:33.760
telling my manager how,
you know, I made him feel.

47
00:02:33.960 –> 00:02:37.560
So two weeks after, I did call him
back, and he really did appreciate me

48
00:02:37.760 –> 00:02:39.760
remembering to call and check up on him.

49
00:02:39.960 –> 00:02:41.160
So he enjoyed it.

50
00:02:41.360 –> 00:02:43.920
So what I love about ABC, of course, I

51
00:02:44.120 –> 00:02:48.320
didn’t mention CCA,
the community service that we do once a

52
00:02:48.520 –> 00:02:53.040
month. The last Wednesday of every month
we go out and do that as a company.

53
00:02:53.240 –> 00:02:54.280
So I enjoy that.

54
00:02:54.480 –> 00:02:58.520
I also like the recognition, the gold
stars that we get, also the recognition

55
00:02:58.720 –> 00:03:03.560
when we do the company meeting that they
send to Denny’s and he reads out the

56
00:03:03.560 –> 00:03:06.000
different recognition for
the techs and everything.

57
00:03:06.200 –> 00:03:07.520
So I enjoy that as well.

58
00:03:07.720 –> 00:03:09.640
Also, I love the health,

59
00:03:09.840 –> 00:03:12.400
the dental, the vision, the paid vacation,

60
00:03:12.600 –> 00:03:15.400
the matching 401K, also
and the profit sharing.

61
00:03:15.440 –> 00:03:16.440
I look forward to that.

62
00:03:16.640 –> 00:03:19.320
And that’s what I love
about working here at ABC.
