We still have a lot of work to do but I feel like we’ve done a lot in a short period of time.” “We use the sales and CRM functions to keep us orga- nized and on track,” Cook says. “It goes hand-in-hand with our marketing plan so we know where we are, where we need to be, who we’ve touched, who we haven’t touched in a while and the steps we need to take to maintain our relationships or secure new ones.” Vos says the new leadership team didn’t waste any time embracing the technology. “It was like a rocket ship.

Customers might need 100,000 cartons by the end of the week and instead of saying ‘That’s impossi- ble,’ we say, ‘We’ve got to figure out how to make this hap- pen.’ We just turned around a large quantity job in three days.
