Interviewee: Gail Gregerson
What’s your company’s story?
RingPartner was founded in 2013 by a couple of digital marketing veterans. Smartphones changed the landscape of direct marketing and the team at RingPartner recognized that there was a better way to instantly connect consumers with the products and services that they want, when they want them most.
RingPartner’s Call Marketplace allows businesses to bid on live calls from consumers interested in their product or service. This real-time call routing platform is powered by proprietary technology, making it easier than ever for businesses to harness the power of a simple phone call.
In 2015, RingPartner was selected for the Google Patent Starter Program, and was awarded two patents. As part of this program, RingPartner also joined the LOT Network, which helps protect companies large and small from patent trolls.
Beyond the technology, RingPartner is a team of performance marketing experts with a preference for red attire, puns, and collaboration.
Who do you work with? What are some interesting projects you’re involved in?
RingPartner works with clients around the world to connect consumers with businesses across North America. The proprietary platform technology that powers RingPartner’s Call Marketplace continues to be refined and optimized by the development team, improving consumer interactions with businesses every day.
In the Victoria community RingPartner is involved in various fundraisers throughout the year including Lawn Summer Nights, VIATEC Food Bank Challenge, and clothing drives for local shelters and non-profits. The RingPartner team is passionate about supporting the community any way they can, and team members are encouraged to pitch and champion charitable initiatives throughout the year.
What are you most proud of in the work that you do?
Connecting people with new opportunities is at the core of everything RingPartner drives toward. From hiring team members to nurturing client partnerships, and from product development to fine tuning the call routing technology that powers the Call Marketplace, connections are essential. One of RingPartner’s core values is to Raise the Tide and when the principle of contributing one’s talents and sharing knowledge to help others improve in turn is baked into every decision, it makes it easy to see the positive impact of the work the team does every day.
If your team had a theme song, what would it be and why?
“Ring My Bell” – it’s pun-tastic and a play off the company name (it might also be the RingPartner hold music).
What are some hopes and dreams for your company?
RingPartner is currently in a high growth period which means global expansion and a rapidly growing team are on the horizon of possibilities. The goal of RingPartner continues to come down to connecting people with opportunities, so the dream is for the company to be in a strong position to offer these opportunities for many years to come.
Why is Victoria a great spot for your organization?
Victoria offers a bit of everything that could appeal to a person. The location is perfect for those interested in urban living, for outdoor adventurers, for families and young professionals alike. The tech community is thriving and, more importantly, collaborative.
