Change in Weather...Change in Attitude

Congrats to Mike Martiny for earning our Employee Spotlight Award!  Mike has taught us all a lesson in  the learning curve.  No matter how much people try to develop others' skills and pass on knowledge, some people just learn, adapt, and progress differently.  Mike is a perfect example of this.

Shortly after graduating from the University of St. Thomas here in Minnesota, Mike left his background in health and sciences and started a new journey in sales & marketing.  His natural charm and charisma helped him grasp the new industry quickly and he performed well.  However, it was after his first couple months that Mike seemed to have plateaued and hit some sort of barrier preventing him from taking the next step forward in his career.

As September draws to a close, it appears the winds of autumn have seemingly affected his career path. After a minor change in leadership he seems to have regained his focus and has become a pacesetter for Rocksolid, Inc as a Sales & Marketing Rep as well as a trainer and leader.  Congrats Mike!  You're the perfect example of how sticktoitiveness and hard work ALWAYS work out for the best!

Setting the Right Example and Stealing the Spotlight

     Congrats to Max Robbins on winning the Rocksolid, Inc. Employee Spotlight Award!!  In only three months Max has proven experience and age (not that anyone keeps track of that around here) are not the significant factors most people believe they are.  Most college grads spend their 20's trying to gain work experience, further educate themselves, travel, and find a passion they can make a career.  The problem is at the end of each endeavor, people don't stop and realize what they've gained unless it has a university's stamp of approval on it in some form of a graduate degree.  Max has taken a different route and decided to make the most out of his first year after college by attacking his daily work agenda and most importantly, reaching out and helping others succeed.

     In only three years, Max graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in May of 2013 and started his career in full swing.  Although, Max has plans to return to school for an MBA he has wasted no time taking a front row seat in the classroom learning about face to face sales and marketing.  Through hard work, commitment, dedication and proactive goal setting, Max has become one of the top Client Managers at Rocksolid, Inc and is on his way to getting promoted to Assistant Manager  by late 2013.  Max has proven that when a task or a job is laid out in front of you, there really is no reason to not give it your all, you never know what you might accomplish!  Great job, Max!!!  Keep it up!!
