You know the phrase: “All things happen for a reason?” I hear it all the time and usually discount it as something nice to say when someone tells you of some coincidence or unexplained event that happened to them recently, but they really don’t know what to make of it.
Well, I have to confess that I have been thinking of this phrase often over the past few weeks as I came to accept a position here at Adcuda, however, I DO know what to make of it! I believe the best jobs come when you’re not looking for them, that has been my experience anyway. Case at point: My new position as Account Manager here at Adcuda.
Previously, as a one-stop-shop for web design, I was doing my usual networking at the Olathe Chamber of Commerce Thursday coffee meeting. It’s a great networking event that I really enjoy using to meet new customers and just get out and mingle. On this particular visit I had the pleasure of meeting Jennifer Hoyt of Adcuda. As we exchanged our nutshell versions of what we did, I was impressed with both what her company did, and also how important commitment and integrity was to her company. Right away I saw her company as the perfect extension to my business. I thought that I might partner with Adcuda to carry my web clients to levels I was just not equipped to do myself.
We made an appointment to meet and talk more formally at the Adcuda office… And the rest, as they say, is history!
As I get comfortable in my new digs, I’ll be making regular comments about what’s going on here from my perspective. I look forward to sharing some very interesting tales as I get out and meet and re-meet the Kansas City business community. Stay tuned!
That’s awesome Rob. Isn’t the Olathe Chamber a great place to connect with people? Congratulations.
