PERSONAL BRAND EXPLORATION
Desirae Kramer
Project & Portfolio I: Week 1
September 28, 2022

My name is Desirae Kramer. I have been in
Brokerage for over 12 years which includes
customer service, analysis, SOP driven and KPI
driven. I believe the customer should be treated
fairly and we should always do our best to give
them the best work we can and doing it right the
first time. I am a firm believer that if we are
treated with kindness we can return the kindness. I
also believe everyone is capable of anything they
want and if we get too comfortable we will become
complacent. Always striving to be better than we
were before, and learn from our mistakes and the
mistakes of others.

Desirae Kramer
You know companies will ignore a customer and do
anything to avoid giving straight answers and updates? Well,
what I do is listen to all of the information and create a work
around to make the customer feel heard and taken care of. In fact, I have created a
process to help my current customers by listening, taking notes, creating a plan and a
calendar of important dates and completing important deadlines on or before they are due
and updating the customer regularly to ensure the customer is feeling at ease with the
process and the entire process is held in a. Sharepoint program so the customer can see all
the steps in real time..
