Benefits of Having a Military Veteran on Your Team Working for You
By: Travis Mikkola, National Business Development Specialist, TMG
The Millennium Group (TMG) is committed to serving our military community through our commitment to hiring veterans, those currently serving in the National Guard and Reserve, and military spouses. We recognize that helping our veterans transform military service into civilian success is good for our nation and good for our business. We thank our Where Service Matters Veterans for their service and dedication to the nation, to our company and to our clients: Timothy Kerner, President – TMG; Merrick Colson, Senior Managing Director, Strategic Accounts – TMG; Chris Day, Associate Director, Operations – TMG; and Travis Mikkola, National Business Development Specialist – TMG.
Military experience is great preparation for a successful career at TMG. Veterans’ leadership, integrity and commitment to service make them outstanding Associates. Our U.S. military service members train and work very hard to protect our freedom. As a nation, we rely heavily on them when faced with opposition and problems and without fail, they come through. There is no sacrifice too great for each of them to honor their commitment and give us their very best each day.
When it comes to military mail distribution, it can be an ordeal getting the mail from the Military Postal Service (MPS) office, which is an extension of the USPS, then to the MPS representative who will later transport it to the service member’s unit for delivery to the recipient. We’ve found that service members who understand this plight assimilate seamlessly into a large corporate mail distribution setting. TMG prides itself in having top-ranked military veterans aboard. The principles they uphold transitions well into the fabric of TMG and the services we provide.
Here's how having a military veteran at TMG on your team can be a game-changer for your business.
1. Dependability
TMG honors the commitment we make to our clients. Rest assured, when it comes to mail distribution, we understand the importance of being dependable. We will have the right people in place at all times to ensure customers will receive their mail accurately and effectively. This is a principle that is heavily and widely enforced in the military and will be a benefit to all of our clients.
2. Teamwork
Teamwork is highly instilled in the military. At TMG, we’ve adopted this philosophy as well. We work closely (hand-in-hand) with our clients from the very beginning ensuring their needs are met. As it concerns mail distribution, working effortlessly with the team and as a team to get mail and packages to the patrons are of utmost importance.
3. Ability to Understand Directions
The military imparts two things, how to give and follow directions. Veterans, here at TMG recognize that this means listening to the customers concerns and carrying out that directive with the highest of standards. We realize our clients value a team that will not only listen to their current needs but also one that can find out-of-the-box strategies to combat potential issues. We pride ourselves in having the ability to listen to the client’s needs and focus on their pain points to deliver outstanding service, while cultivating a lifelong business partnership.
4. Organization
The military teaches veterans how to be organized in a way that will not only improve efficiency but also effectiveness. In the current process of mail distribution, TMG can step in with a more innovative and effective approach. Our veteran team will stand proudly behind the quality of work produced.
5. Adaptability
Adapt and overcome are words that ring true for the military. Our veterans are here to do just that, if necessary. The military trains veterans to be ready for any situation, allowing them to more easily adapt to surprises. The military teaches how to quickly reassess, adjust and overcome to achieve the mission. When the unexpected happens, TMG will be right there to fix the situation, leaving the client satisfied with a job well-done.
We want to give our clients the ability to focus on their core business while having confidence that TMG have their mail distribution needs covered. We know our clients have enough to worry about, mail should not be one of them. TMG can take care of this so our clients can focus on continuing to better their core business. As veterans would attest to, we lead from the front. Let TMG get you there because this is Where Service Matters.
