JANUARY 2019 Excitement for the Future Shaped by Our Past Success
Happy New Year From Pop-A-Lock!
W e’re starting our 24th year in business, and the team at Pop- A-Lock couldn’t be more excited. 2018 was our best year ever, and we were fortunate to help a lot of people in need. From big businesses getting their factories rekeyed to helping individuals locked out of their cars, it’s been rewarding to see our presence in the community. Our impact is something we don’t take lightly, but when I reflect on this past year, there’s one accomplishment I can’t help but see as the most profound. Everything we do starts with our team, so while it’s wonderful to provide exceptional service to the Lexington and Louisville area, we couldn’t do so without great people. That’s why, when I look at

I also have health goals of course, because it’s important to take care of your body, but ultimately my yearly focus comes down to learning, working, and being better at life. -Doug Barnes

We promoted technicians, hired new team members with advanced skills we haven’t had before, and retooled our customer service. I look at our company now, and I see the best staff in its history. This directly affects our clients, and we receive feedback constantly on our level of service. All of this success doesn’t happen overnight. It starts in a planning meeting with our general managers in which we set goals for the company for the new year. Each area of the company is given a specific focus and set of benchmarks.
