Awards and Recognition
Whether it’s about articulating, consulting, or just plain listening, many clients turn to us for sales and customer service help. Here are some ways our comprehensive training techniques have helped clients close the deal.
Caravan Ingredients
Setting the Stage: After a successful 2010, Caravan Ingredients wanted to recognize the accomplishments of individuals across their company. Their alternate goal was to reinforce that doing things “differently and better” was the way to achieve future goals. In the past, Caravan had only held sales meetings. This year, however, they made the decision to hold a companywide meeting. And, for the first time,they hired an outside source to assist in the presentation. Like a good recipe, meetings don’t have to be bland. Recognizing that every ingredient of their company is important, representatives of each department in one form or another were scheduled to present a success story. Second City Communications stepped in to make sure that listening to almost 40 different success stories didn’t get … stale.
Harris Bank
Setting the Stage: Each year Harris Bank hosts “Harris Select”, an awards dinner that recognizes their top performers. For 2011’s program, they chose the Trump Hotel in Chicago and were looking for entertainment to match the spectacular venue. Although awards are exciting for the individuals being honored, Harris knew the importance of creating a night that everyone – including guests and those not being individually honored – could enjoy and remember. Second City had supported Harris events in the past though emcee work and video segments, but this year needed to stand out as unique and original.
