Who deserves to be called a hero? A person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, and noble qualities. Yes, even the simplest sustained qualities and those who have exemplified our corporate values keep on inspiring others. As the National Heroes Day comes close, let us remember those colleagues who inspired/helped YOU in your stay here at TASCO/SPIRA. Entry No. 1: My Hero Without Cape: Nica "Ms. Nica R. Tangpuz is one of the most industrious employees I have worked with not only here in Tasco but also in my previous companies. She is a soft-spoken lady who does not mind mountain-load of work and simply crawls her way up and does her part to do her job up to the point that she even works during lunch break. She shows willingness to extend beyond working hours just to accomplish her assigned tasks on a timely manner. We often call her the last woman standing! I never heard her complain and do her works with smile. She is indeed the type of employee that our company needs, a diligent and loyal one." Entry No. 2: "Service with a heART" My Hero Without Cape: Art "I simply had a remarkable experience during the trade visit with Sir Art and Sir Lester on the clients of Sir Art Lintao situated in Nueva Ecija. Notably, almost all of the customers visited were our top clients in which the above-mentioned sales officer. At first, I was hesitant or should I say I simply don't know what to say with the customers being visited. But during the course of every visit, the communication seemed came so easy as you would feel the sincerity and honesty of each and every person that we got to talked with. Out of the six clients visited, we were able to directly talk with the owners of the four stores. The owners were very much down to earth and accommodating to us, they welcomed us with open arms. The purpose of the trade visit was to get to know our customers, see the face behind the business relationship established and not just through phone or thru the agents assigned to them and inquire directly from them their concerns with our company - sales officer, products, delivery and to Tasco itself. These were words that we have uttered during our conversation with all of them. All of them have responded positively and very much satisfied especially with the Sales Officer, they have said that our agent is kind, easy to communicate with and understanding; one of the owners even said they consider him as a brother or sibling. I have noticed that we have indeed a lot of competitors in the market of Tires, for we were able to come across with a lot of the sales officers of different brands visiting also each of the customers that we listed in our itinerary to visit. Although they were competitors, there were no unruly treatments experienced. They (other sales officers) and Sir Art have all smiles in their faces upon seeing each other and firm hand shakes were displayed. They even crack friendly and wholesome jokes with each other. With the overwhelming competition in place, Tasco is really fortunate to have set foot in the market and is considered as one of the top brands in the industry widely known for the top quality product MRF. Huge marketing expenses were provided and being used by other competitors - signages, billboards, promotional items and offers, attractive and enticing packages, extravagant activities and so many more. Despite of these seemed almost perfect marketing strategy, one thing that I have noticed was that all of it will be such a waste if the representative or the person in which the owners have been dealing with does not know what they are talking and offering; if they don't have the passion (or heart) in their dealings with the owners. This simple attitude was naturally displayed by our sales officer, I am not patronizing him of some sort, I am simply stating a fact in which I saw and felt. I believe that the warm welcome that we have received was only reciprocated to us simply because the treatment that they have received and experienced with our sales officer. Tasco, Inc. may have one of the best quality brand and product in the presence of MRF and may have been already known nationwide, these may become non-sense and useless if the person that carries and represent it is not trustworthy, sincere and a good conversationalist. Although the trip was very tiring for we have been riding almost 14 hours, I have enjoyed the company of Sir Art and Sir Lester, the experience and the learnings that I have gained." Entry No. 3: Our Hero Without Cape: Lina "When We first entered the door, Door of unending progress and knowledge She taught us how to explore, All the corners, all the edges Walked down the white tiles, Thinking what will we do inside Our journey here in this building, are miles Away from here, thanks to such a pride Now that we've reached something Did everything we can to succeed Thanks to big helps, huge things Our stay here in Tasco means everything When you're always around, Miss Lina Villanueva Grateful for you, sa bawat oras na nakaalalay ka." Entry No. 4: My Hero Without Cape: Buboy "He motivates, inspires and pushes us to work harder. No only as a person who knows how to speak his mind but also a person who has a heart to listen and understand. Patiently guiding and developing us towards commitment is the kind of leader and a hero Sir Buboy is to us." Entry No. 5: My Hero Without Cape: Jommel "I appreciate him for being supportive and cooperative. Every task becomes easy because he always finds a way to get it done and together, we have developed a "can do" spirit. " Entry No. 6: My Hero Without Cape: Joy "She deserves to be called a hero because she had been instrumental in helping me adjust easily and cope with my tasks when I was still starting here at Tasco, Inc. It was not so easy for me to learn everything about my job considering that I was tasked to perform dual functions: HR and Admin. But she had been always there to lend her helping hands whenever I was in dire need. She showed willingness and kindness in answering all my queries and patiently taught me how to execute my admin tasks which I found very challenging because it was not my forte. She had been so helpful to me up to the extent that there were times that she even went down to our office just to teach me and frequently asked me if I was okay whenever we bumped into each other in the pantry. With that, I could say that she possesses a quality of a STEWARD because she manifests concern and care to her fellow employees. Moreover, as I got to know her better and personally, I admire her even more because of her life story. I considered her a woman of courage because she has been strong in facing life’s challenges. She is a single mom like my mother and I can see how she works hard to provide a living for her son. Truly, she is an amazing and admirable person who also deserves to be called a WONDERMOM!" Entry No. 7: My Hero Without Cape: Dondon "I would like to submit an entry for the HEROES Without Capes program. I will be nominating Mr. Dondon Pacayra for being one of my hero here in Spira Sales Corporation. Aside of having him as our technical team, which is one of our advantage from other distributors and brands, he also guides me when it comes to product specialization. For almost 10 years of serving our clients, he never fails to show his commitment to the company. He sometimes extend his working hours facilitating all requests of our internal and external customers. I never heard him complaining about how tiring it is doing field works (just like a real superhero). Being the pioneer distributor of TOTO here in the Philippines, we also have our first ever technical personnel here in Spira, Mr. Dondon Pacayra. We will give our deepest appreciation to Sir Dondon as he continue his journey serving more clients and giving them the meaning of a good customer service. I would personally like to thank him for helping us grow in this organization and sharing all that he have (personal or work related) without expecting returns. For me, Sir Dondon is not only a hero to us, but he portray as our second dad here in Spira Sales Corporation. " Share your thoughts through liking or leaving a comment on this post!
