"A chip on a shoulder is a VERY powerful tool!" On this week's #UnlockingMoves, my good friend Paul Hedrick talks about his entrepreneurial journey with Tecovas - from facing tons of rejection to starting a kickass direct-to-consumer boot company. Tecovas might be taking over the world now, but in the early days, Paul struggled to raise capital from even his "Friends and Family"! Enough people ultimately believed in his vision, and he put his research skills and his drive to find his super power to work (a GREAT combo for entrepreneurs btw) and the rest is history. SPOILER ALERT: even though he wasn't able to convince some of his friends to invest - he was able to convince a total stranger in Austin to invest -- ME! (I'm either gullible or a genius!) As an investor, I usually invest more in the entrepreneur than the product or vision. I'm proud to have played a small role in Paul's story. Luckily, Tecovas boots are a GREAT product! In fact, I convinced Paul and his team to give away a FREE pair of Tecovas boots as part of this episode. Watch the episode to learn how! 🔊 Now Live: 📻 Apple: https://lnkd.in/gE9UshkX Spotify: https://lnkd.in/gZ9s68sT YouTube: https://lnkd.in/gMZhvjxK

Our friends at Tecovas are a hard-working and humble bunch that are not only making incredible boots but also building a wider, more inclusive West. It's nice to see our work together get put in the spotlight as a hidden gem. Just like their brand still is to many.

Before Team Tecovas dove into the busyness of the holiday season, we sat down with our dedicated Customer Service Operations Manager, Krystal Kay Cortez, to hear her campfire story. Krystal Kay, or KK as we know her, has been with Tecovas since 2019 and has played an integral role on our Customer Service team. 🤠 Can you tell us a little more about your role with Tecovas? I am honored to be the Customer Service Operations Manager. Collaborating with a dynamic team, I oversee critical operations such as quality assurance, training, communication, and improving processes that contribute to our exceptional customer service. 🤠 What does radical hospitality mean to you, and how does that come through in your training process? Radical hospitality is a huge focus of our training. We know Tecovas would not exist without our customers, so we seek to welcome everyone regardless of their background or circumstance. Our job is to ensure every customer feels cared for and knows they can count on us for assistance. I like to say “if you take care of your customers, they will take care of you.” 🤠 Tecovas has a lot of great and loyal customers - can you share one of your favorite customer stories with us? One of my favorite customers is someone who started her email with, “when the going gets tough, the tough go shopping” and ended with, “Thoughts become things, choose the good ones” This customer was diagnosed with cancer and was treating herself to one of our clutches since she planned to be a survivor. Through our Texans on Service program, we gifted her a tote to match her clutch. Throughout the conversation, she was incredibly positive and thankful for our assistance. A few weeks later, she emailed to let us know she was cancer-free. Her correspondence inspired many of our agents, and to this day, I often think about the powerful words she shared! 🤠 The busy holiday season is right around the corner, what are some things the CX team is doing to prepare for the higher volume of customer inquiries and requests? We are focused heavily on training new hires to assist with higher call volume and conducting continuous training to keep the team up-to-date while boosting the quality of service we offer. While we may be assisting more customers in Q4, it is crucial to us that the quality of service we provide doesn't waver. Lastly, our team has been focused on creating a team atmosphere designed to grow future leaders in our department and ensure the Customer Service team is ready to support the exciting growth of Tecovas.

As the holiday season approaches and the year comes to an end, we sat around the campfire with Kim Heidt, our Chief Retail Officer. Here’s what Kim had to say about our growth this year: “Tecovas is thrilled to have 8 additional stores in new markets as we approach the holiday season. We know that customers are shopping differently - primarily due to the ease of online and mobile shopping - and we recognize that and want to be part of an innovative in-store shopping experience. Retail stores have become more about creating experiences and sharing meaningful in-person relationships with consumers. Our stores allow us to bring to life what we do best at Tecovas: provide hands-on experiences with our quality products, showcase radical hospitality, and demonstrate a celebration of Western values. We hope you visit a store near you and get to know some of our amazing team this holiday season! The Tecovas Retail Team can't wait to show you the true spirit of the West!” Check out our current openings at tecovas.com/careers if you’re interested in joining the Tecovas Team. #hiring #retail #newstoreopenings #Tecovas #growth #business #retailstoremanager #storemanagement
