As we head into the holidays, we want to take a moment to share some magic. 🪄 Last year, the Auror CS team kicked off its first regional holiday reporting challenge with some of our retail partners. It went so well, we launched another challenge this year, led by Kat Rubner. Throughout the month of December, partners could "unwrap" a challenge to test their skills with an Auror riddle. During the first week, a few of our partners reached out to share they look forward to the challenge videos and the hard work behind the scenes to spread holiday cheer while educating on LP reporting. Here's what we heard: "Great job Auror team!! So entertaining and I just enjoy the fun you get to have at work!!" "It's even becoming something I look forward to check daily! Also an awesome way to get quick tips and tricks and screen grabs in front of the stores on how they should be completing events." Internally, we talk about the importance of magical moments. Credit to Kat, Danielle, and our CS team for not only making it happen again this year, but making a point to raise the high bar they set last year with this campaign. Here's a little glimpse into the campaign, featuring our very own Aurors. 👀 🎁 Happy Holidays! #retail #retailcrime

After several weeks of rumors and unfortunate layoffs, Pitney Bowes is officially winding down their Global Ecommerce business unit. So what’s left at PB? SendTec solutions and Pre-sort services, both profitable business units, unlike GEC. ➡ SendTech Solutions offers physical and digital shipping and mailing technology solutions, financing, services, supplies and other applications for small and medium businesses, retail, enterprise, and government clients around the world to help simplify and save on the sending, tracking and receiving of letters, parcels and flats. ➡ And presort Services provides sortation services that enable clients to qualify for USPS workshare discounts in First Class Mail, Marketing Mail, Marketing Mail Flats and Bound Printed Matter. GEC has been a popular and well-established service within the global and domestic parcel delivery industry, so undoubtedly it will have some reverberating affects on the market. But in a down market, it might not be as noticeable as it would be otherwise. I think it will be interesting to see if this further exacerbates pressure on UPS’s revenue per piece (RPP) through more demand on surepost. #ecommerce #logistics #pitneybowes

#WHYNOT Differentiate by Serving? During a recent shopping experience, I encountered something unexpected. After completing my purchase, the sales professional noticed I was using a USAA card and asked if I was a veteran. When I confirmed, he reached under his desk and handed me a brand new American flag. No one asked him to do it. He simply chose to recognize my service in a powerful way. Today, that flag hangs proudly in my office as a reminder. A reminder that standing out isn’t about flashy gimmicks but about genuine human connection. Sales professionals, take note. In a world where competition is fierce, it’s the simple, meaningful gestures that set you apart. It’s about making your clients feel valued beyond the sale. Bruce Damm, at Denver Mattress Co. in Albuquerque, thank you for the thoughtful gift and the lesson in service. I’d love to hear from others: How do you create experiences that leave a lasting impact on your clients? Comment below and share your stories. Let’s inspire each other to go beyond the ordinary. #VeteransDay #ClientExperience #SalesLeadership #Gratitude #WHYNOT

After the incredible hustle of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the amazing work all 3PL and fulfillment teams put in during these peak times. 🚚📦 Managing the surge in orders, ensuring timely deliveries, and keeping operations smooth is no small feat.

Here’s an interesting stat: Since announcing going all in at Dimmo, I’ve had 33 sellers reach out to me for a job. Hold on. I’m not done yet. I’m talking about people that have personally reached out to me on LinkedIn. There’s been way more spam. 31 of them work at really well known, reputable companies. Wait. I’m still not done yet. I told them all there’s no way I’d be able to afford them. (Gotta keep it real) 7 of them said they’d work for free. When I ask why, I’ve heard these 3 things: 1. They’re tired of the corporate BS. 2. They want to be part of a business that can change the way things are done. 3. They “just want to work for me because it seems like I actually care”… The third point pulls at my heart strings. Much love to you all. But also employers - go treat your employees better 😉
