The First Step...

So, I was thinking and I tend to do this quite a bit, how much do you really know about Brad's Electronics?  Oh sure, if you're wanting HughesNet, DirectTV, or Dish Network, you can call us and we'll be there to answer any questions for you.  Yet, who's there, really?  Well...that is something I'm going to do my best to help you learn,  mostly to satisfy my own curiosity as a new employee, but also because we should be more than a name to you. At least that's how I feel about it.  Perhaps I'm not the only one?

If you're like me you see commercials on TV, read a name in the phone book (those that still use them), or for the more up-to-date persons, find them on the internet and wonder, what do they do?  Obviously you know what they sell, but what do they do?!  Are they just voices on the phone?  Of course not.  Wanna see who's behind that patriotic banner?  Me, too.  I'd say they've been around long enough to pique the curiosity of the public.

Like an onion, the company has many layers.   There's your sales, your installations, your scheduling, your service calls, and your questions answered as quickly as possible.  However, there's another layer to the onion you haven't quite gotten to see.  The sweet, juicy heart of it.  The people behind the name.  The face to match those helpful voices.  I'm still as new to the company as most of the public is.  See, I haven't been there long enough to really get to that juicy center of it, and I'm just plain nosy enough to want to.

Wanna be nosy with me?  Shhh, I promise I won't tell if you do.  It'll be just our little secret.  Curious yet?  Intrigued?  Perhaps just a little?  Fantastic!  I say we start at the top.  Go big or go home, right?  Right!  I'm all for making entrances, so why not poke the boss and see if we can find some juicy bits.  Any questions you want to ask?  Rated G one's, of course. ;)  I mean I'm not too shy to ask anything, but sometimes you gotta show restraint when asking the man who signs your paycheck, ya know?

We all know the basics about the company, but the why behind it is an interesting question.  Why this and not that, why one thing and not another, why do you have that big vase with sticks in it in your office?  Is it to keep the employees in line?  Sorry, that's just one of my questions.  I'll have to show you what I'm talking about.  The vase is scary, but really pretty though!

Moving on!  Next up on the Pixie Path, the juicy bits of Mr. Brad White.  Tune in...
