Targeting Excellence with Stamps.com Endicia

Jim Clifford, ConnectShip Innovation and Sales Senior Manager, recently attended his first Stamps.com Endicia Strategic Partner Conference at the beautiful Crowne Plaza Redondo Beach Hotel, Los Angeles. Read more about his take on this intimate event focused on setting targets and strengthening partnerships.






Powered by the Possibilities of a New Workforce Dynamic

Julie James, ConnectShip Channel Sales Manager, just returned from attending Modex 2020, which was held at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. While the show was visibly affected by some companies deciding not to attend or being prevented from traveling in response to the Coronavirus, the effect was quality over quantity of interactions. At first, it was unusual to see empty booth spaces and fewer people, but the lower attendance made it possible to spend more time with exhibitors to learn about their solutions and also to make stronger connections.





Celebrating a Great Career

Everyone at ConnectShip would like to congratulate Christina White on her dedicated service to our company. Support Manager Vince Sposato had this to say about Christina's retirement:

"We recently wished Christina White a fond farewell as she has retired after 22 years at UPS with the last 5 years working for ConnectShip, Inc in our Tech Support department as a Tech Support Analyst. Christina brought a unique perspective to ConnectShip having worked in various capacities in the Logistics industry with an initial stint at Pitney Bowes and then moving over to UPS. Christina worked in the UPS Technology Support Group assisting both internal and external customers alike. At ConnectShip, she was instrumental in handling multiple customer issues each day as well as being our admin for our various test FedEx FSMS servers which helped facilitate prompt support for our FedEx customers. We wish her the best as she moves on to the next chapter of her life. She left us with these final words, which are a Celtic blessing: "May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, the rains fall soft upon your fields. and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand."








Chinese New Year

This January, the ConnectShip team gathered to celebrate the Chinese New Year! Some of our staff used their culinary talents to cook up dumplings from scratch, others brought in tasty Chinese side dishes, and our themed decorations set the scene. What better way to ring in the new year than with good food and good company.
