Patti Mbachu: Senior BDR Extraordinaire since 2010!
Happy Sunday!
I met Patti initially sometime in 2010 and I interviewed her in person at Panera Bread.
She was my FIRST employee back then and has been with me for the most part since.
There are a couple of breaks here and there but she’s been with Connect 5000 most of the time.
Patti used to live in the Kansas City metro but moved to Omaha to be near her kids and grandkids.
I drove up to Omaha last week to celebrate Patti, her upcoming birthday, and her wonderful 14 years with us.
Cheers Patti!
Happy Memorial Day Weekend!
Enjoy your 3 day weekend as we remember all U.S. soldiers who have died serving their country!

Connecting Live As a Company
Happy Tax Day everyone!
Everyone at Connect 5000 is remote which has its pluses and minuses.
While we are missing a few people, we hosted our first company-wide staff meeting of 2024.
Being located from coast to coast, it is great to be able to come together as a firm.
Questions that people answered to get to know each other better:
- What celebrity would you like to meet in person?
- Given the choice, would you rather die quickly and painlessly? OR slowly and painfully but get to tell your loved ones goodbye?
Now go pay your taxes!
Happy Easter!
Happy Easter Everyone!
He is Risen, Indeed!
Happy New Year in 2024!
From our team at Connect 5000 to you and your family!
Cheers and Blessings in the new year!

Merry Christmas Everyone!
Cheers everybody!

Christmas Comes Early to Connect 5000! (Sorta.)
Happy early Veteran’s Day everyone!
Thank you to all the past and present military vets for your service!
On Slack a few months ago, the team somehow got to talking about clothing and hoodies. I asked if anyone was interested in a hoodie with the Connect 5000 logo.
Many people said yes and requested one.
Now that fall is here and temperatures are dropping, it’s officially unofficially hoodie season!
Shown here are a few Connect 5000 team members proudly displaying their swag!
Cheers!

Greetings from Tampa Bay, Florida!
Happy Sunday!
How do you create and maintain a fun culture when everyone works remotely? Well, you plan in-person get-togethers and combine work and pleasure!
I am proud to work with talented people like Ashton Jarrell, Rachel Woodyard, Chelsie Turnbough-Cook, LucyAnn Ferguson, and Brittany Owens!
Thursday night we grabbed a group dinner at Kobe Japanese Steak House in Clearwater.
Friday morning was team breakfast meetings and training.
Over the noon hour, Ashton, LucyAnn, and I met with a current client for lunch and were happy to meet them finally in person.
Friday evening was Texas de Brazil and we stuffed ourselves silly and had the meat sweats!
Always good to spend time with your team in person and get to know them better.
I’m Ray Ruecker with Connect 5000. Cheers!
PS: Tampa, Florida is warmer than Kansas City! I went from 85 and sunny to 40 and rainy and cold!
