The Aura of Growth
Each year, my company, vCom Solutions holds a customer summit inviting all its loyal clients and power users to one place. This year’s Summit was an absolute blast. Sitting on the plane home reflecting on the last 3 days in San Francisco, I can clearly rank them as some of the best days I have had in years. Although there was a constant working aspect to each day, there was something special about the atmosphere, an intense positivity.
During our awards ceremony a video was played depicting one minute of each of the past 15 years that vCom has been in existence. It was incredibly moving and showed the growth of a very small company into a flourishing organization. There was a common theme throughout the video….Positivity. People were having fun despite the trials of growth in a challenging marketplace. The extraordinary excitement level was clear in each minute of the video. I find that excitement in myself less than a year after joining the company. While I am a positive energy junkie, there is a greater driving force behind that excitement than the atmosphere in a room. In analyzing the video and reflecting on my time with vCom, I think I’ve nailed it; The GROWTH is exciting. It’s the constant in vCom that creates energy and excitement, and most importantly promotes change.
I am realizing that I am far more excited about my career than I have ever been before. It’s neither because of money or privileges, nor is it because the job is easy or convenient. I am excited because I am becoming one of the building blocks of a quickly growing company. That excitement is amplified by the colossal opportunity for further growth. It is clear that vCom is an enormous advantage for enterprise businesses.
vCom’s tech savvy movements in the technology management space is placing us in a unique position. I find that most of my sales meetings are met with an immediate need for vCom rather than an evaluation. The path of vCom holds evolving trials and a constant variety of challenges and opportunities.
One can only imagine what it felt like to be a founder of vCom watching that 15 year video while surrounded by the organization they built and some of their best customers. It must have been an emotional experience. Looking at the inevitably fast paced and positive future of vCom must be exciting beyond words. That energy trickles down throughout the entire company, and it is clear that we all share in something very special.

8 å¹´Great post Bob. Having attended this summit myself for the first time as a customer of 8 years with vCom and seeing the positive attitudes and meeting many of the people of vCom I've worked with behind the scenes - it was evident that the employees LOVE their job and WANT to succeed and help their customers succeed as well. It had me thinking... I want to work for vCom too! I'm already looking forward to attending next years Summit!

8 å¹´Great post Bob. This was my second Customer Summit. Although both Summits were equally powerful, it was the first that gave me the AHA moment very similar to what you experienced. When it all comes down at the end of the day it's happy employees = happy customers = positive growth both financially and spiritually.

8 å¹´Well said Bob. Being on the customer side and not an employee, you would think it would be a different view of vCom. Having been a customer for seven years I can say wholeheartedly this has not only been a terrific partnership, but we are part of the VCom family. They have never tried to sell us a thing. They have always been our partner in trying to help solve our business challenges as an extension of our team. I look forward to the next 15 years with vCom as a chosen partner in crime. No one does what they do better than them! One of a kind partner. Congratulations to you all!
