Irvine resident Katie Hall receives Top Service recognition at DirectBuy conference

Katie Hall

Katie Hall
DirectBuy of Orange County's Katie Hall

ANAHEIM HILLS, CA…

Irvine resident Katie Hall, a product specialist at DirectBuy of Orange County, was recently recognized with Top Service Quarterly Champion honors at DirectBuy’s 2010 International Sales & Service Conference, held May 23-26 in Dallas, Texas.

Each quarter, DirectBuy Club owners nominate those service professionals who go above and beyond for DirectBuy members. Those service professionals are then categorized as Gold, Silver, or Bronze by DirectBuy Corporate. Hall’s performance during one quarter of DirectBuy’s 2010 fiscal year earned her Gold recognition among her peers out of 150-plus DirectBuy Club representatives at the conference.

“Katie meets and exceeds our expectations on a daily basis,” said Ann Rocke, owner of DirectBuy of Orange County. “Her product knowledge is only exceeded by the level of enthusiasm she brings to the job and serving our members.”

Part of that enthusiasm stems from Hall once being a DirectBuy member. After she and her husband completed a remodeling project at their home—most of the materials purchased through DirectBuy—she applied for a job in 2007. Hired as a product specialist, Hall assists members with their selection of a variety of home furnishings, specializing in window coverings.

“Because I was a member first, I knew how I wanted and expected to be treated and that’s how I approach my job every single day,” said Hall.  “There’s a real satisfaction when you’re helping a member with a project and it turns out the way they envisioned it.”

In addition to being recognized onstage at DirectBuy’s conference, Hall received one other unexpected reward. Based on her outstanding performance, she took part in DirectBuy’s Leadership Event where she received a football autographed by Roger Staubach. The former Dallas Cowboy great was the keynote speaker at this year’s Conference.

Hall holds an associate’s degree in interior design from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM). An Orange County native, she resides in Irvine with her husband Lonnie and sons Matthew and Michael.

The leading home improvement and furnishings club with direct insider prices, DirectBuy Club offers manufacturer-direct pricing on products ranging from light fixtures to televisions to kitchen cabinets, all from more than 700 manufacturers or their authorized suppliers. DirectBuy Club also offers design, delivery, and installation services.

DirectBuy of Orange County is conveniently located at 4925 East Hunter Avenue in Anaheim Hills. DirectBuy Club provides a comfortable, country club setting, where consumers finally have the financial control of buying direct.

HOUSTON, TX…

Cima Mathur, a kitchen designer at DirectBuy of Houston East, was recently recognized for her 10 years of service at DirectBuy’s International Sales & Service Conference, held May 23-26 in Dallas, Texas.

Mathur began her tenure in 1999 at DirectBuy of Ottawa. Mathur and her husband Monesh had recently emigrated from India to Ottawa and had just purchased a home. After visiting DirectBuy and joining as a member, she inquired about a job. The rest, as they say, is history.

“I’ve worked every job at DirectBuy—member supervisor, club manager, marketing, you name it. And now, I’m a kitchen designer,” said Mathur. “I’m proud to say that DirectBuy is the only job I’ve had since leaving India.”

In February 2009, Mathur’s husband, an IT specialist, accepted an offer in the Houston area. That’s when Mathur transferred to DirectBuy of Houston East, where she continued to excel.

“It is a rare occasion to come across someone with such determination and such love of DirectBuy,” said Chris Herron, owner of the Houston East club. “She’s an invaluable member of the service team and she’s never without a smile and a laugh. Everyone at the club loves her.”

Mathur holds a degree in Commerce from Osmania University , Hyderabad , India. She’s also earned certificates in marketing and public relations from Algonquin College in Ottawa.

In addition to her work with DirectBuy, Mathur is active in the community, volunteering at her temple and her children’s school. She resides in Pearland with her husband and daughters Anisha and Simryn.

The leading home improvement and furnishings club with direct insider prices, DirectBuy Club offers manufacturer-direct pricing on products ranging from light fixtures to televisions to kitchen cabinets, all from more than 700 manufacturers or their authorized suppliers.

Answering the call… DirectBuy call center staff volunteers for Habitat for Humanity project

July 16, 2010 //  by admin

LENEXA, KANSAS…

On Saturday, June 12, 2010, the DirectBuy of Johnson County call center staff came together to make a difference in their community. The group volunteered to work with Habitat for Humanity to build a home in Gladstone, Missouri for a family whose father is deaf. The DirectBuy team worked for eight hours that day, installing cabinets, spackling, and finishing all the caulking in the new home.

“I enjoyed volunteering with my coworkers, mainly because it was fun seeing everyone in a different environment,” said Curtis Miles, a membership associate. “But the best thing about working with Habitat for Humanity was the feeling you get knowing you helped someone less fortunate.”

Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit organization that provides homes and home loans for those unable to become homeowners without assistance. Habitat builds the homes from the ground up and provides the loan to the family interest-free.

“The whole team was honored to meet the family who will be the proud owners of the home they helped build,” said Pam Graessle, co-owner of Johnson County. “Their deep gratitude for what Habitat for Humanity had done for them was readily apparent from their beaming smiles.”

 “I have volunteered with The American Cancer Society for 12 years, for a local children’s museum, and have participated in several Homeless Rallies for the Salvation Army, but my favorite thing about working with Habitat for Humanity is being able to meet the family we were helping,” said Samantha Derryberry, a membership associate. “Sometimes when you volunteer, you don’t get to know where or what your money and time go toward, but with Habitat we were able to put a face with who we helped.”

Since opening in 2002, DirectBuy of Johnson County has helped consumers enjoy enormous savings on home furnishings, home improvement items, entertainment and outdoor products, flooring and accessories, by providing an avenue to purchase directly from manufacturers or their authorized suppliers. Conveniently located at 11309 Strang Line Road in Lenexa, Kansas, DirectBuy Club offers consumers a comfortable setting where members finally have the financial control of buying direct.

About DirectBuy Club

Consumers interested in joining DirectBuy are encouraged to attend an exclusive Open House event, which is designed to educate families about DirectBuy’s business model and the benefits of buying direct. The Open House also helps consumers better understand how DirectBuy members avoid traditional retail markup when purchasing brand-name merchandise.

Since 1971, DirectBuy Club has been showing hundreds of thousands of consumers unparalleled ways to save as they shop for virtually everything for in and around their homes – from furnishings, home improvement and flooring, to entertainment and outdoor products, accessories, and much, much more. With more than 150 locations in North America, DirectBuy offers its members access to more than 700 brand-name manufacturers or their authorized suppliers in the United States, and more than 500 in Canada.

A natural development…DirectBuy Clubs partner with Legacy of Barrington, a conservation development.

July 9, 2010 //  by admin

CHICAGO, GURNEE, NAPERVILLE, TINLEY PARK, IL …

Legacy of Barrington, a conservation development located in North Barrington, recently announced an exclusive offer for DirectBuy Club members for referrals and purchases. Legacy of Barrington will pay DirectBuy members a $5,000 finder’s fee for referring a buyer of one of Legacy’s 14 lots. In addition, if a DirectBuy Club member wishes to purchase a lot, Legacy will deduct $10,000 off the sale price.

“Legacy of Barrington is attempting to do something truly special by building luxury homes in harmony with conservation land,” said Dave Kushner, owner of DirectBuy of Northern Illinois, located at 3900 Washington Street in Gurnee. “By offering these incentives to DirectBuy members at any of our Chicago area clubs, we’re hoping interested and environmentally conscientious homeowners will take advantage of this incredible opportunity.”

Located eight miles north of downtown Barrington at the end of Tara Drive north of Indian Trail Road, “Legacy” features 14 approximately one-acre lots surrounded by more than 25 acres of high-quality natural areas, including woodlands, savannas, prairies, sedge meadows, and wetlands. Legacy is also part of Barrington Unit School District #220, which has been consistently ranked among the state’s top five percent of school districts academically.

Legacy gives prospective luxury homebuyers the opportunity to share owners Mary and Eddie Chin’s dream of building single-family custom homes in a conservation community. Conservation development seeks to restore a more natural balance and improve the quality of habitat for both people and wildlife in the following ways:

  • By effectively managing storm water on-site with vegetated swales and other such natural methods, flooding is reduced in the neighborhood and downstream.
  • By using natural storm water management methods, silt, salt, and surface pollutants like automobile fluids, cleaning solvents, and other chemicals are naturally removed from ground water, providing cleaner drinking water.
  • By discouraging the use of certain chemicals, fertilizers, and weed killers, the level of toxins are reduced in the air, ground, and water, providing a healthier environment for all residents.
  • By encouraging the use of environmentally sound materials and methods for homebuilding, the negative impact of building on the environment locally as well as globally is reduced.
  • By restoring native ecosystems, a creature and plant-life biodiversity evolves whereby species populations are naturally kept in check, providing homeowners access to lovely woods, prairies, and other native vistas.

“At Legacy, we envision time-honored and exquisite custom design elements paired with high-quality construction in homes that feature awesome, expansive views of open prairies, oak savannas, and native woodlands. This is where conservation and luxury meet,” said Scott Nelms, Project Manager for Legacy. “We think future Legacy property owners will have no problem feeling good about the stewardship of natural areas and habitats at Legacy. We are excited about talking to potential buyers as to how we can partner with them to build their dream home in a community that truly cares about the environment.”

For more information, go to www.legacyofbarrington.com or call (847) 592-6250 to schedule a tour. Visitors to the community will be entered in a raffle to win a Luxury Hotel/Spa Package in a Green Seal-certified downtown Chicago hotel. In addition, Legacy will host three open houses:  July 24, August 21, and September 25, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
