The classic holiday song “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” can mean different things to different people. For us, what makes the holidays so special is that it gives us a chance to share our immense, heartfelt gratitude to the most important people in our world: YOU, the members of our incredible global community.
Your support, loyalty, and partnership mean everything to us. It motivates us to consistently work at the highest level of competence and professionalism. And just as importantly, it drives us to keep innovating and raising the bar.
We cannot overstate how important this powerful, authentic connection with our community is. You are an integral part of WHO we are. You are not just customers. You are partners! We admire and respect you, and promise to never let you down!
You know, it’s kind of funny: for more than 10 years, CEOs and other executives from many companies — in all sectors and industries — have asked us how we created such a fiercely loyal and engaged community. And they are always surprised by our answer: we didn’t “create” anything, because you cannot engineer this kind of dynamic.
The formula is simple to understand, but difficult to implement: relentlessly focus on serving customers vs. the other way around (lots of companies get this mixed up!), always listen to ALL feedback (not just the positive stuff!), and be transparent in everything (honesty and integrity must be absolute principles).
And speaking of transparency…
If you have any doubt of our commitment in this area, then we can provide no better evidence than this photo collage of some team members who have donned their ugliest Christmas sweaters. My friends, this kind of raw, unrestrained anti-fashion statement is PEAK TRANSPARENCY. We cannot surpass this.
