The LCT Family - Cindy Dyer (Inside Sales)

If you go back into the “sales pit” area where our Inside Sales team resides, you might miss Cindy Dyer. She’s not going to draw attention to herself and you will have to look for her. The immaculately clean, organized desk will give her away because there is no place for clutter near Cindy.

Cindy is a member of the Insides Sales Team but operates more as post-sales support by entering orders, answering questions and being a point of contact for anyone who has a change, addition or special instructions to an order. So, when I say her desk is neat, that speaks volumes for her organizational skills. Coming from someone who rarely remembers the color of my desk for the myriad papers blanketing it on a daily basis, I admire the ability to keep it all organized and neat. But then, Cindy has a long history of working in an administrative capacity for various organizations and knows how to stay focused.

When the company she was working for in Carrollton, GA laid off their employees, Cindy was looking for a job nearby, but she soon decided to expand her search and almost immediately, her resume sent to Logical Choice was noticed and she came in to interview. She enjoyed the interview and the people so much at LCT that she offered to relocate to work here and an offer was made to her on the spot. Even though she had another offer, she chose Logical Choice because she could sense the family-like atmosphere and wanted that above the stiff corporate culture of the other position.

The night Cindy came home to tell her family she had accepted a job with Logical Choice, her daughter, Katie, then in first grade, immediately told her that she had a Promethean Interactive Whiteboard in her classroom and she explained how it worked to her mom. Cindy knew then that the products were special and the company was, too.

At first she traveled 70 miles each way until she found a home close to Logical Choice and now resides just 7 miles from the corporate headquarters. “It was worth it to commute to this job,” Cindy said, “I thank God every day for this job and this great company.”  Cindy likes this company so much that she has encouraged friends and family to apply for available positions and a few have been hired.

Originally from Tampa, Florida, Cindy moved to Dallas, Georgia as a young girl and was raised there until her middle school years when she returned to Tampa and graduated.

She has a 24 year old married daughter, Krista, who has one 4 year old son and is expecting a daughter in mid May. Cindy also has Katie, the now 10 year old daughter who helped to teach her mom about Promethean products at the very beginning. Cindy married her husband, Shawn in 2009 and said that “it took 40 years to find her “soul mate”, but they are madly in love and so happy.”

Cindy’s family is very important to her and that is why she loves Logical Choice so much. “This is the only place I’ve ever worked where I didn’t feel pressured to choose between work and family because they understand the importance of family. No amount of money could make me leave this company,” Cindy said. That is unless she could make a living playing Sudoku, at which she excels; then she might consider it, but the job market for Sudoku whizzes is pretty slim these days so I guess LCT is doubly lucky.

Another reason she loves her job comes from the satisfaction of receiving phone calls like the one she got a year or so ago when a teacher called to express her excitement over getting Promethean Learner Response Systems for the entire class. Cindy wasn’t aware, but the teacher had her on speaker phone with her class of 30 first graders listening in. She wanted to see if she could get the ActiVotes shipped quickly and Cindy offered to see what she could do to expedite matters. The teacher was gracious and grateful and she asked the class, “What do we say to Miss Cindy, class?” and 30 little voices chimed in with “Thank you, Miss Cindy!”

That is the moment she knew that what we do here makes a difference in real lives and she fell in love with Logical Choice all over again. And her dedication to her job and to making sure that orders are processed and questions are answered is why we say, “Thank you Miss Cindy!”
