Changes in the way you do business can come from
service provider updates, new technology, a shift in your knowledge, or simply the
passage of time. In this issue of Business Communicator, we explore all these types
of changes and how they can mean positive things for a company.
First, it’s time for a changing of the guard here at RTC. Shane Hart is now heading up the
Cooperative, and I have stepped into a supportive role until my retirement in June. Because
Shane is experienced and dedicated, you can look forward to great things ahead. See more
on page 3 in Change of Duties at RTC.
On pages 4 and 5, you’ll learn how BakkenLink Pipeline LLC has enhanced its oil
transportation safety processes based on fiber technology from RTC. Safety is a primary
concern for this company. It employs a redundant communication system to transmit
information about the pipeline, but internet is its first communication choice.
If your company makes solicitation phone calls, you won’t want to miss the Robocall Rules
for Businesses on page 6. You may think you know what’s allowed and what’s not, but to
avoid legal problems, it’s better to err on the side of caution.
Finally, Facebook has changed the way it presents information to users, but that doesn’t
mean you can’t still use it as an effective marketing tool. On page 7, learn 7 Tips for
Increasing Facebook Engagement.
As I prepare to leave RTC, I have no doubt that the company remains in good hands. With
Shane Hart at the helm, and a terrific group of employees and members, I look forward to
hearing great things about RTC for a long time to come.
No matter what changes your business is going through, RTC wants to be part of your
success. Don’t hesitate to call us any time we can help.
Sincerely,
Royce S. Aslakson
Outgoing CEO/General Manager
