Our Culture
We found this material at Delanos Coffee, and it really spoke to our team. So we have adopted it, put our own flavor on it, and made it our own.
In a field with such advancing technological complexity trust often is all our clients have to make decisions. Being honest with our clients and vendors and making fair deals breads loyalty both ways. At Social Power honesty starts at the top and is pervasive throughout our company, and every team member goes home feeling good about the days services rendered to our clients.
Under promise and over deliver will always win the day! When other companies in our space promise you the moon, we just give you realistic expectations. Then do our best to exceed them when we can.
People love to see things new and interesting. Being creative and resourceful helps lead to engagement!
More than just being frugal, optimizing financial resources leads to better efficiency and competitive pricing for our clients.
Given the rapid pace of change and technological advancement in our business, continuing education is a must. A significant percentage of time is devoted to it. We also deploy cross training between personnel in different departments. This helps mitigate bottlenecks in operations, and brings synergy in the design and function of our client’s finished products.
Adopting change and new methods is part of our culture at Social Power. This helps keep us competitive, and insures our clients have the latest and best practices with their online presence.
We are good at communicating about complex technologies and systems in ways that business owners can understand. This helps decision makers make choices that are best for their business and needs. But good communication goes beyond the tech. It embraces foresight and frankness at the risk of being the proverbial bearer of bad news.
Overcoming technological obstacles and challenges present wins almost daily for our team members. These equate to successes for our clients, and present opportunities for regular recognition.
Doing the best we can, and applying the extra effort to make things look and function great are the cornerstones of quality.
Social Power is a fun place to work, and our staff loves to have fun. And when our personnel aren’t funny enough, our wonderful collection of clients provide endless opportunities for humor. We just like to have fun!
Helping others, both in the office and in the community, represent important opportunities that we often enjoy.
