Raving Fans Start Within
In this episode of "Raving Fans Start Within," meet Rachel Grizzell, a Velosio Business Applications Specialist and former Microsoft employee who excels at putting clients first and collaborating with her team. Hear how her personal passions align with her professional life and her valuable advice for new hires joining the team.
Key Episode Takeaways:
- Cultivate a client-first mentality. The most successful professionals act as consultants who help clients improve their businesses, not just as sellers.
- Prioritize continuous learning. Staying relevant requires actively learning about new technologies, from Azure and Microsoft Fabric to modern work solutions like Copilot.
- Foster a collaborative team culture. Actively using daily team chats for idea sharing and holding regular meetings can lead to high collaboration and shared success.
- Align passions with your profession. A truly fulfilling career is found when personal passions, such as a desire to help people, converge with your professional life.
- Be proactive in building connections. New hires can accelerate their impact by leaning on their team and being proactive in reaching out to clients to "get it rolling".
- Leverage strong partnerships for credibility. A company's strong reputation as a Microsoft Gold Partner and its long-standing history in the business applications inner circle are powerful credentials.
- Embrace operational rigor. An organized, detail-oriented personality is a key attribute for managing a book of business and identifying opportunities for upselling and cross-selling.
- Utilize your team's support system. New employees should lean on their teams and leadership for support, especially when utilizing resources like an onboarding buddy.
