The drought is over.
After 4 tries and 4 long years, Joey Harp – Captain of the fishing team,
Strategic Fishing Partners, can finally lay claim to the title – CHAMPION! Most men would give up after suffering such
past defeats. But not a member of FSI’s
sales team – no sir! Joey would not be
denied leading his fishing team to victory this year. Yes, you’ve read that correctly – Joey Harp
was the captain of the winning fishing team in FSI’s 10th annual
fishing outing.
It’s an annual tradition for FSI to show our clients,
partners and employees our appreciation for their business and for their
commitment to FSI’s ongoing success.
Each year, we take a group of about 20 on a fishing trip to West Point
Lake in LaGrange, Georgia. We divide teams
into 4 boats and have a great time of fellowship, smack talking and
fishing. Each boat has a team name and a
captain. There are winners for most
fish, biggest fish, etc. I head up Team
Reel-Time Fishermen, and have only won the event twice. President/Owner/Founder, Ken Marbutt, heads
up Online Hookers and is the winningest (probably not a real word, I know)
captain in FSI fishing history with 4 titles.
Team Catch-em/Pack-em/Ship-em usually has a captain rotation by a
different FSI employee and has won 3 times under Co-Founder, Hoyt Marbutt,
warehouse supervisor, Charlie Hayes and Director of IT, Daryl Gramling.
We’d like to think that all of our clients do business with
us because of our exceptional fulfillment services, our commitment to getting
their orders out on time and with more consistent accuracy than anyone in the
industry, our custom IT online solutions, etc.
But we do have to be honest that there may be some who do business with
us just so they can earn a spot on this coveted event. No matter what your motivations are to do
business with FSI, we can take care of your fulfillment needs.
Thank you to all of our clients who were able to make it
this year. We look forward to next year
where Joey will be handing the FSI Cup over to me. Yep, I’m calling it now…Forrest Marbutt,
Captain of the Reel-Time Fishermen wins the 2012 FSI Cup. Might as well go ahead and get the trophy
engraved. For all you future clients out
there, when you call us, go ahead and put in your request to be on my team for
next year. Great fulfillment service and
being on the winning fishing team – what more could anyone ask for?
