Vivint Through The Years

Hi! My name is Heidi Fransen. My husband Alan is a sales rep/manager in Indianapolis, Indiana. We have been working for Vivint since 2005!  If you would have told me 10 years ago (or even 4 years ago) that we would still be doing this job today, I probably would have cried. Ha. It took me a long time to get used to this summer sales life style and to find much to appreciate about it… but over the years, I have really begun to love and enjoy it. Part of that has just been the result of changing my attitude about it, but another big part of it has been the way Vivint has changed as far as finding ways to focus on and encourage the spouses of their employees in order to help us feel more included and valued.

 I have so much respect and appreciation for this company. Over the years, I have not only seen it grow in size, but I have been a grateful recipient of the care and service that Vivint has become so good at showing to it’s employees and their families. When I think of the changes I’ve seen in Vivint over the past ten years, nothing stands out more to me than that.

I used to feel un-noticed and un-appreciated in the significant sacrifices I felt I was making for this company and it’s overall success. I now recognize that Vivint really does care about the families of it’s employees, and I have been amazed at the effort they put in to helping us to feel like we are a valued part of this company -that our sacrifices are noticed and appreciated. From sending us beautiful Christmas gifts, to organizing fun springtime events to motivate and prepare us for the upcoming summer months, to giving us incredible service opportunities throughout the year, the monthly competitions and activities we get to participate in throughout the summer, our wonderful furnished housing (and pools!), vacations, dinner goals (those are a reward for us, too!) and so much more. Vivint goes above and beyond any other organization to give their employees and their families the support and motivation that we need to keep doing this crazy hard job.  And it really is crazy. And hard. But we love it… that doesn’t mean we want to do it forever, haha … but even when we leave (if that ever happens), we will leave with much love and respect for a company we have grown with, struggled with, and which has really helped to mold us into the people that we are. And that’s a good thing.

 No company or job is perfect, but if any company deserves applause, it’s Vivint. (And that is a pretty impressive statement coming from a sales wife in the middle of the summer!) So…I’ll just use this post as my form of applause.  Thanks Vivint for taking care of my family and all of our families as we make our marks in cities around this awesome country, every year. I’ve learned to love America so much more as I have moved from California to New York to a dozen states in between and made friends with people everywhere. This is a great country that gives us opportunities we could never even hope for elsewhere- like making a great living by knocking on doors! These experiences have blessed my family and enriched our lives. So thank you. For everything!
