Maci is an amazing team player who always thinks of the team before herself.  She is incredibly dependable and would do anything to help someone else.  As one of our outstanding customer support rockstars, she always goes above and beyond to delight our clients.  If you’ve ever worked with her, I’m sure she left you feeling amazed that such personal and incredible  customer support still exists. 

What do you love most about being part of the Webconnex Team?

I have been a part of the Webconnex team for almost two years now (crazy how time flies) and I simply love the team itself. I love working with folks who are incredibly supportive and encouraging of my work and personal life.

When you have a free Saturday to do whatever you want, what do you do?

My free Saturday would probably include a quiet morning walk with my hubby, around the lake near our house. We’d wrap up our walk by meeting up at brunch with friends eating and talking for a couple of hours. Then we’d head home to rest, watch a movie or nap in the afternoon. Our Saturday evening would entail entertaining friends or family with a casual outdoor dinner and games on our patio.

What are some plans you have for this year?

Well, I plan on having a baby any day now! Yep, I am 9 months pregnant with our first child, a girl!  We are beyond excited and anxious for her arrival. So that is pretty much what all of plans include this year.

What is something we don’t know about you?

It is kind of an office joke, but I eat my lunch, almost without fail, everyday at 11AM.  I am a schedule-oriented person, I guess.  I am also a vegan.

What is your favorite YouTube video right now?

Cody is an invaluable asset to our Webconnex team.  His big personality, genuine care for our clients and constant pursuit of excellence is unmatched.  He brings laughter and vibrance to our office daily.  We are excited for you to get to know him.

What do you love most about being part of the Webconnex Team?

Being part of the Webconnex team has been such an incredible blessing. In every aspect of the job, there is a level of fun and passion. From the random karaoke sessions, to seeing our customers’ events and fundraising go above and beyond expectations, there is never a dull moment in our office.  We have a great company culture.

The thing that I love the most is knowing we are making a difference every day with our software. We build software that helps individuals and organizations reach their dreams. Whether that’s them running a 5k or an organization fighting sex trafficking all over the world, they are finding a simple solution to make it financially possible for them to go out and make a difference. It’s also extremely rewarding working with individuals that have the same passion and want to make a difference with the way we live our lives,  but also the way we conduct business.

When you have a free Saturday to do whatever you want, what do you do?

I would start off by making a huge breakfast. I have an intense passion for some good eggs and potatoes and coffee every morning; cool fact right? Follow that with some sort of physical activity such as street bike riding, motocross, working out, running, or cycling. Assuming I don’t hurt myself with the previous activity, I would then move on to making a killer lunch that most likely would consist of homemade pizza… Okay I know what you’re thinking, this kid’s life revolves around food. It’s only partially true, okay so maybe I love food. Stop judging me.

In the evening I would love to go swing dance, to a country concert, or to the river. Somewhere in there I would incorporate another foodie session for dinner. Chipotle, or some sort of taqueria. I can never say no to a good burrito. Ending it with a relaxing time in the hot tub would cap off the day rather well. Though, I did just read a horrible article about how much bacteria and feces’ are in the common hot tub… I’ll find a friend who has one that I know has good hygiene. Problem solved; or so I hope.

What are some plans you have for this year?

This year I plan to step out of my comfort zone to do something bigger than myself. This fall I am heading to Moldova to help with shelters that house orphans and girls rescued from sex trafficking. I have always had an intense passion to go to this region to show the love of Jesus to children and young adults who have only known a life of poverty and desperation. I believe love changes everything. This year I also want to run my first triathlon. I am excited to step into a new arena of fitness in order to push myself.

What is your favorite YouTube video right now? The Ojai Taxidermy Commercial. It’s so ridiculous it’s funny.

What’s your favorite song and/or YouTube video right now?

As far as songs go, I would say Rend Collective “My Lighthouse” would be at the top of my list.

Have you ever spent a bunch of time constructing the ‘perfect’ email, only for it to end up in the dark abyss of your recipients’ spam box?  Well I have, and I want to save you from the same headache.  Spam filters look for some key elements to determine whether your email will be considered spam or not.

Here are 4 tips to keep your emails out of the spam folder:

Don’t use ‘spammy’ words.  Whether in the subject line or body of your email, resist the urge to use any of the following words, phrases, or overuse of punctuation. They will surely throw a red flag and fast-track your email right to spam.

 Don’t send one big image.  If you are constructing an email that contains all of the text and content within an image, that is a surefire way to get blocked.  Not to mention, if your demographic isn’t very email savvy, they might not realize they need to download the images in order to read your email, therefore, ending up in the trash.

Don’t use info@, support@, contact@, etc.  Be more specific and unique with your email address.  Rather than using contact@…. Someone could use ashley@ or raceteam@…..

Don’t use a generic gmail, yahoo, aol or Hotmail account.  For best results, be sure to send/receive from an email address belonging to your organization’s domain name.  For instance, rather than using [email protected], I use [email protected].  Having the domain name in the email address brings credibility to the receiver and to the spam filters.

I’m sure by this point you’ve heard the phrase, “content is king”.  If not, maybe you’ve been living under a rock, or maybe you are fresh into your online marketing.  Either way, providing great content is a key way to drive traffic and sales.  This is great news, if you’re a good writer….

What about those of us who struggle to put words together in a cognitive sentence?  Or who are constantly bogged down by writer’s block?  I’m here to tell you, there are more kinds of content than just textual.

Here are five ways to snap out of writer’s block:

1.  Get to snapping:  My favorite way to bust loose from writers block is to start snapping photos.  Now, you’ve shortened your multiple paragraph blog post down to a simple photo caption.  According to HubSpot, photos receive 54% more likes and 104% more comments than text based posts.

2.  Caption this:  Better yet, let your followers come up with a witty caption for you!  People love sharing their two cents.  Simply post a photo with a caption that states, “Caption this!” and you are bound to have an inflow of comments.  Make mention that you will choose the best caption and repost the photo later with the winner.  You just saved yourself the time of coming up with a great caption, while engaging with your followers.  Score!

3.  Let it roll:  If you aren’t adding video to your online content, your media might be a little bland and dry.  Spice things up with a quick, fun video.  Maybe you’re better at talking than you are writing.  If so, totally go the video route.  It has a double bonus, because your constituents are able to put a face to the name and you get to add a little personality to your company.

4.  Fact or fiction:  Post some fun or interesting facts on your company, organization or industry.  You can even encourage and increase engagement by turning this into a fun contest by asking people to vote fact or fiction.

5.  Interview:  Instead of you coming up with all of the content, just come up with some interesting questions and let your interviewee provide you with all the content you need.Give these five tactics a try to quickly snap out of writer’s block and into some awesome posts.

Each year, Webconnex sets out to make waves in each industry in which we operate.  For the past 5 years, we have consistently broken personal records and grown at a steady pace.  This year, we are gearing up for what we believe will be our biggest year yet!

Here are some fun and some serious ways we plan on kicking butt in 2014!

We will be sure everyone stays amp’d for the awesomeness with our daily dose of Red Bull!

We will be announcing the release of our highly anticipated Webconnex 4.0 platform!

We will be getting fit – as a team!  Even our developers will be breaking a sweat while training for their first 5k.  (Stay tuned for photos and updates.  They are hilarious)

We will be changing the world with our incredibly innovative, never before seen features and functionalities.

We will be growing.  With the release of our new platform, we are already anticipating the influx of new sign-ups and want to ensure our growing client base continues to receive top notch support.  Again, stay tuned for the announcement of ‘Employee #9”, we are confident you will love him!

We will be actively posting on our blog with feature releases, announcements and great industry tips and tricks.

We will be giving back.  In 2014, Webconnex will donate a (soon to be announced) amount of money to some very worthy causes.  What we do day to day empowers us to multiply the efforts of others.
