It’s World Emoji Day, 📆!
 
No one: 
Not a single soul:
Us: GAME TIME BABY 🏈

Game: Pick a team member’s name and choose an emoji that embodies their entire being. 🎯

Well, the answers are in, and now we just have more questions than answers, like: What the...? Why the...? OMG?! And WHO PICKED THIS? 🕵️

Now allow us to reintroduce ourselves…through someone else’s 👀

We're officially unplugging for Independence Day! 🇺🇸

Folks, our office will be closed on July 4th to celebrate the land of the free and the home of the brave! We'll be busy debugging BBQs, optimizing firework displays, and saluting those who've bravely served our nation.

We’ll be back in action on Friday, hotdog hangover and all.

We hope you all enjoy the fireworks, and remember: "Independence1776!" is still not a secure password, no matter how patriotic it sounds.

Happy Fourth, everyone! 🎆 🍔 🌭

Happy Two-Year Anniversary, Michael! We're incredibly grateful to have Springfield Tech Council 's "Best Graphic Artist" on our TierOne Team, so that none of our other posts look like this.

There's a reason TierOne has a 98% client retention rate. 💯

TierOne was formed to break the mold by providing businesses with a layered, all-in, and uniquely client-focused experience.

We’ve made it our goal to reinvent the customer experience within the and industries, and the results speak for themselves.

Our clients consistently report a smoother, easier, less frustrating experience when working with TierOne instead of engaging with carriers directly.

We're proud to have assisted more than 350 clients, and we'd love for you to be our next one. 😉

If you know anything about TierOne, you know we just don't quit. 😉 Naturally we had to keep the party going with help from our partners at New Horizons Communications Inc. Dallas Jones kept our afterparty alive with live music at Buzzard Bar while guests mixed and mingled before their final goodbyes.

The lake views were hard to beat at our weekend's last dinner, hosted by GoTo Perched over Table Rock Lake at the Pro Shops Shooting Academy, guests were treated to live music, bonfires, dinner, and s'mores stations for one last hurrah before heading home.

We'll never turn down a chance to sip back and relax. Thank you to our partners at Nitel for sponsoring a wine-tasting course 🍷 led by Scott Vargus of Vintegrity Wine and a Whiskey 101 tasting 🥃 at Big Cedar. Guests sipped, snacked, and soaked up the views from Top of the Rock's Buffalo Bar in these afternoon add-on excursions.

Well, it’s been about a week now that we’ve officially been working with the best of the best and we gotta say, it feels pretty good! 😎

Big congratulations to our very own Michael Peacock for bagging Best Graphic Artist and Steven Huxley, Best IT Sales Person, at Springfield Tech Council’s Excellence in Technology Awards event! This recognition is a testament to the hard work and pizzazz that courses through the heart of TierOne.

A huge round of applause to all finalists! Your recognition reflects your exceptional talents and the significant impact you're making in this space.
Finally, thank you to Springfield Tech Council for recognizing the excellence in our very own backyard!

We told our guests to go for the greens, and man, they really went for it! 😂 We braved the chill — and gale-force winds — for a mini-tournament at Payne’s Valley. Our partners at Flexential hosted longest-drive and closest-to-the-pin contests in addition to a turnhouse Chippo challenge. The team at GoTo sponsored a hole-in-one $50,000 grand prize, and our friends at AppDirect and Microsoft kept it loose with a toast at the 19th Hole bar.

Thank you to all of our sponsors and golfers from AppDirect, Microsoft, GoTo, RingCentral, Flexential, Bluebird Network, KsFiberNet, Nitel, Everfast Fiber Networks LLC, RapidScale, and Intelisys. We couldn't have done this without you! 🏌️

Hats off to the fashionistas on our Dogwood Canyon horseback riding excursion! 🤠 Tiffany Harris and Spectrum helped our guests ride in style with a make-your-own hat station before hitting the trails and exploring the canyon.

whirlpool bath hair, don't care! 💁 A huge thank you to Donna Cassini and Bluebird Network for making our spa day retreat possible. When guests weren't getting head-to-toe pampered (literally 🦶) with massages and pedicures, they slipped away to a spa suite reception with snacks, take-home gifts, and a mimosa bar. 🍾

If the mark of a good salesperson is knowing how to 🎣 *reel* 'em in, then our guests might be in for a career change! A huge thank you to Kate Dillion and the Crown Castle team for treating our guests to a day on the water. Whether at Bent Hook Marina or Dogwood Canyon, the fish were biting — and so were our guests thanks to some fully stocked snackleboxes. 😋

Great food deserves great company! Our guests headed to Dogwood Canyon Grill for this year's TierOne Percenters kick-off dinner. Thank you to our partners at Microsoft and AppDirect for bringing the best and the brightest to the table for a three-course meal, more wine than we could imagine, and rousing conversation!

We'll sip to that! 🥂 A huge shoutout to Preston Erickson and our partners at RingCentral for a stunning happy hour at Dogwood Canyon. The great food (pork belly deviled eggs 🙌😭) and stunning waterfall could really only be outdone by the Solo Stove raffle giveaway. Now, who wants to invite us over for s'mores...?

The real MVPs are the ones who keep us fed! This year at TierOne Percenters, our partners at Brightspeed welcomed guests to the Falls Lodge and helped them fuel up each morning with a little breakfast to go!

The TierOne team is back and looking refreshed, suntanned, and a little waterlogged after our annual company retreat! ☀️

We spent a few blissful beachside days, unwinding, flexing our fresh fits 💦, and writing job descriptions for an in-house nautical cardboard engineer 🫡. Our quick getaway included a little of everything: collaborative brainstorms, strategy sessions, golfing, fishing, spa days, boat races, sunset cruises, scavenger hunts, beach bummin', and tons of great memories.

We're grateful for the opportunity to reconnect and recharge! Thank you to our teammates and customers for fostering a supportive environment that allows us to escape for a few days!

Stay tuned for exciting new developments (and plenty of embarrassing photos!) hatched from our little seaside sojourn. 🏖️

Fasten your seatbelts — we're ready for takeoff!

The TierOne Team is heading to our annual retreat for a weekend of beachside recharging, re-energizing, and reigniting some old sand volleyball rivalries... 🏐
