Soft Trac Announces New Family Member

April 19th, 2011 by Darla Hamlin

Susan Saadat, a Soft Trac Senior Consultant, went above and beyond all of our expectations when she forwarded a request from a Fundraising 50 prospect to management while in the labor room on medication to induce labor.

It is not uncommon for Soft Trac’s employees to respond to the needs of a customer or prospect while on personal time, but Senior Consultant, Susan Saadat, took this dedication and passion for the customer to an all-time high.

You see, Susan, had been in the labor room for more than two days when she received an email from a prospect. She quickly forwarded the email to Soft Trac’s management for response. How many women do you know who would take time out between contractions to monitor their work email and respond? Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and now Susan Saadat have changed the world forever.

Kidding aside, we are grateful for the dedication that our staff have for our customers.

We are especially pleased to announce that Sarah Saadat, daughter of Ali and Susan Saadat, was born on Saturday, April 16, 2011, at 9:25 am. “Little Peanut” as Susan lovingly referred to her weighed in at 9 lbs 14 oz. Sarah, Ali and Susan are all doing well. Susan says, “We are totally in love with her and look forward to introducing her to all of you soon.”
