Companies were measured in five unique areas and needed to stand out in each of them. Those categories were: Customer Service, New Product/Service Offerings, Marketing, Employee Relations and Community Service. Judges were seemingly impressed with several key factors in SDS Global’s application.
In addition to the company’s growth in sales and earnings, the nomination focused on the rebranding of the Security Delivery Service name to SDS Global Logistics; the propensity of SDS to communicate with customers through a variety of mediums ranging from its newsletter to direct contact with clients from customer service personnel; and the variety of new products added by SDS over the past few years, including the addition of warehouse facilities and a renewed focus on trade show management.
The application had also focused on how SDS serviced its non-client stakeholders such as employees and the community at large. Two items in particular were noted in the nomination of the company: the fact that SDS President and CEO, Tony Racioppo was honored for his work with the Queens Child Guidance Center and a story about how SDS raised thousands for a fellow employee whose home had been lost to a tragic fire.
Upon hearing about the award, SDS Chief Financial Officer, Matthew Wizeman noted that “while this combination of stakeholder focus has long been a staple in the SDS approach to business, it was truly rewarding to receive the recognition from such a prestigious source. The Forbes Enterprise award gives real weight to what we’ve known for a long time. We are a customer service driven organization. We are quite proud of that fact and we appreciate it being noticed on such a grand stage.”
