Employee Referrals
| |
New way to earn money adds up fast!
At the Company Annual Meeting - a new program to help all Becky's employees earn bonuses was unveiled. With each referral each employee sends to Becky's Pet Care that signs up for service - You receive $20 in your next paycheck. It's that easy - and to sweeten the deal - your referral receives $20 off their first service - so it's a win-win for all involves. Specific benefits of the program include:
-Hands-on way for you to build a client base in your area
-Tools to help you promote the discount and your referral - to make your marketing job easy and your paycheck bigger!
-Specific code to track your referrals - EMP followed by your employee number
Full details are in the Meeting Wrap-up which includes flyers, emails and attachments for you to use to help promote your code.

"The Scoop" from Becky
 | | Becky and Kate |
Halloween is just around the corner!
Jack O'Lanterns, ghosts, ghouls, vampires, and other spooky creatures start to decorate homes and stores. AND that also means, we are getting even closer to the HOLIDAYS... WOW!... Christmas trimmings are hitting some store shelves already as retailers prepare for their busiest season of the year. Well, it's our busiest and best time of the year, too! So get ready everyone... it will be here before you know it!
I want to thank everyone who attended the annual staff meeting and who responded to the pet first aid poll. I feel so lucky to have such a great staff of wonderful people!
Thank you for all that you do!
Becky

PET CARE NEWS YOU CAN USE!
I want to take this time to remind everybody about our policy regarding our client's homes. There is to be ABSOLUTELY NO ONE allowed to enter in a clients home except the assigned staff member. This includes having access to the client's pets, keys, and profiles. If you have an evening planned with friends and you want to do your pet sit before or after that is fine just leave your friends in the car. They are not allowed to accompany you into the clients homes or on a dog walk. Failure to follow this policy with result in immediate administrative action. Please review the updated Pet Care Procedures manual for all the current policies. This was emailed to all employees on September 20th.

Employee of the Month
Liz Ausdenmoore
We would like to recognize Liz for all the outstanding work that she is doing. Lix has been with Becky's since September 2009. In addition to her dog walking and pet sitting visits, Liz supervises the Lake Ridge office and provides training for all of our new Pet Care Professionals in Prince William County. September brought about circumstances that required her to take on a lot of extra work. We really appreciate her extra effort. Liz is a great team player and a wonderful example of the quality of employees who work for Becky's Pet Care.

 Katie Bowling - "I just wanted to thank Becky's Pet Care and our sitter Katie for taking such good care of our cat.

We definitely noticed a huge difference in our cat after Katie looked after him versus leaving him at the vet." Lesley Bozeman
Tommie Lanasky - "Very pleased with the service. I am calling again to schedule a visit." Lauren Ayers
Melissa Barrack - "Really appreciated the quality service - my cat is my kid & its hard for me to trust others to take good care of him. Absolutely loved the service & won't hesitate to use your company & my sitter again. Thank you!!" Nicole Garr
Jennifer Haire - "I was so pleased to find a service that had no problem with caring for a chinchilla. Pudge was very happy when we returned. I greatly appreciated that Jennifer was so excited to get to know little Pudge. Thank You!" Sarah Cavanaugh
Rachel Sullivan - "I would like to leave my dog with Rachel next time we go out-of-town. Thank you very much! Rachel was great." Barbara Nichols |
