      Ask any TeamSnapper what they love about their work and you’ll hear a common answer: “The people.” And since we spend a massive amount of time connecting with our colleagues, we thought we’d introduce them through our #TeamSnappersTalk series. Here, we connect with Chief Growth Officer, Ken McDonald.

      What made you want to join TeamSnap?

      For me it was two-fold.  First, I was a basketball coach and could really relate to the pain points TeamSnap was solving.  Second, I knew Dave, our CEO, and respected his approach to business.

      Tell me about your best day at TeamSnap.

      I recently was at a soccer trade show and we had customer after customer come up and tell us how much they appreciated the product. It is rare to work at a company where customers have so much praise for what you are doing.

      What are you looking for in a team member joining the team?

      There are two things that I look for above anything else.  First, I look for people who are very adaptable. We talk a lot about taking a test, measure, and learn approach to everything we do. That requires someone who is comfortable taking risks and learning what went well and what didn’t.  

      Second, I look for people who overcome obstacles to achieve great things.  Building a new business has a lot of ups and downs, so you need people who have the determination to make it past the setbacks.

      What do you love about working at TeamSnap?

      I really appreciate how the company puts a lot of trust in you to figure out what needs to be done. That, in turn, means you learn a ton because you are constantly trying new things. So many companies are set in their ways – that certainly isn’t TeamSnap.

      How has TeamSnap’s product helped you personally?

      I have been a coach or team manager for the better part of 15 years so I have had a lot of opportunities to use TeamSnap. For example, I am currently the team manager on a competitive soccer team. Just today we had a blizzard and I had to send out alerts about a schedule change.

      I also have used the new payments feature a number of times this season, because we collect a lot of money for extra tournaments, futsal, etc. The new payments feature has dramatically cut the time it takes for me to collect money. I no longer have to run around and collect checks from people as they are coming and going from practices or games.
