Our Finnish #FridayFeature - Meet Sara!
Summer is here and Office Sign Company has officially hit
its busy season! With an influx in orders and custom requests, we need our
frontliners (Customer Success Department) to be ready to roll. We are excited
to be welcoming two awesome new employees to those frontlines, and we’re
excited to introduce them to you! This week’s #FridayFeature is all about one
of our latest and greatest hires - Sara Juntunen. Read on to learn more about Office
Sign Company’s newest Finnish employee!

- What’s your name?
- Sara Juntunen
- Where are you originally from?
- “Oulu, Finland (Yes, Finland across the
ocean, and yes, I’ve also been to Finland, MN :))”
- What’s your current position at Office
Sign Company?
- Customer Success Manager
- Can you tell us what all that will
entail?
- “I’m still doing a lot of learning, but I
think for me the easiest way to describe my job is to ensure I serve as a
liaison between customers and the different teams at OSC. I help
customers place orders, and answer any questions they might have. I try
to make sure that the customers I interact with have a fabulous
experience with OSC, whether working with us for the first or the 100th
time.”
- Where did you attend college?
- "I graduated in 2016 from Concordia
with my undergrad and 2019 from NDSU with my graduate. I now have a BA
and MA in Communication.”
- Have you worked anywhere previously? If
so, where?
- "Yes, I worked as a COBRA Account
Specialist at Discovery Benefits between my two degrees. I’ve also been
lucky to have different internship experiences.”
- Do you have any hidden talents or random
fun facts you’d like to share?
- "Ha – none that I’ve discovered yet. :)”
- Favorite activity or sport/sports team?
- “Trying out new Pinterest recipes. I
also like going out for walks and exploring new areas, or enjoying
downtown Fargo atmosphere.”
- What are you most looking forward to
while working here?
- "Getting to know all of our awesome
products and people, and for creating lasting customer relationships.”
- What’s your favorite part about this
community?
- “Absolutely the people – everyone is so
creative, open-minded and super supportive.”
- When I’m not at OSC, you can find me…..
- “Home with my fiancée, with my friends
or doing something downtown Fargo. If it’s a summer Saturday, it’s farmer’s
market, otherwise, probably a coffee shop. Up until July, probably
wedding planning.”
- What’s your favorite meal/restaurant in
Fargo??
- “Boiler Room hands down! Best meals,
deals, and people. :) Although, there are several great
options in downtown Fargo.”
- What advice would you give to younger
people trying to get into your profession?
- “Never underestimate the power of
communication. Whether written or oral, it’s super important. That public
speaking or English writing class you aren’t so excited about – it matters.
It will help you in the future. Also, keep an open mind to change and
accept that you’ll continue learning indefinitely. Don’t compare yourself
to others, but set your mind to being a better version of yourself every
day, and you not only grow yourself, but help others grow, too.
Especially in customer service, you mind not always do everything perfect,
but the way in which you react to your mistakes make a BIG difference.
Nobody expects you to be perfect, just to have the right attitude and try
your best.”
We know that Sara will do great things at Office Sign
Company, and we are thrilled to have her on board! With any questions about our
products, services or career opportunities, be sure to reach us via e-mail or
give us a call at 701-526-3835 – you may even get to speak with Sara!
