It’s Meet the Employees Monday here at Grasshopper.  This week’s employee spotlight is on Allison Canty.  Allison is on the marketing team here and is our Social Media and Community Manager. Ever sent a tweet to @Grasshopper? Left a message on our Facebook wall? Then you’ve already met her!

This is a guest post by Robi Ganguly, the co-founder and CEO of Apptentive.

A few key takeaways:

• Know who your customers are.
• Engage with your customers and learn from them.
• Use the information you learn to achieve “Customer ESP.”

Entrepreneurs often talk about their motivations behind starting a company and highlight their desire to work for themselves. Many entrepreneurs talk about their need to build something. At Apptentive, we feel a strong desire to create and to control our destiny. We enjoy what we do, we believe in what we’re doing, we’re building a great team and we absolutely LOVE our customers.

It’s Meet the Employees Monday here at Grasshopper.  This week’s employee spotlight is on Andy De Filippis.  Andy is on the HR team here and is our Culture Evangelist. As our Culture Evangelist he works in conjunction with our HR department to set up events inside and outside the office.  Andy is known to put on awesome events like cake day, grilled cheese Tuesdays, panini Thursdays and breakfast sandwich Fridays every now and then (jealous?).   As he says, “when you think of fun at the workplace you should be thinking of me.” and we think every office should have an Andy!

With the New Year upon us, we thought it’d be a good idea to refresh the memories of our long time customers and bring our new customers up to speed on where you can find us should you have a question, need advice, or just want to say hi.
