Frequently Asked Questions

Management Quality

Managers at zLinq lead with visibility, consistency and trust. They stay accessible, keep communication open through regular check-ins, and create clear expectations around goals, feedback and performance. Employees receive quarterly scorecards with bidirectional feedback, quarterly skip-level meetings and regular development conversations that make support tangible and career growth easier to navigate. Leaders are hands-on in helping employees succeed, whether that means checking in closely during onboarding, offering coaching, or partnering across functions to solve problems and remove roadblocks.

That support is reinforced by a culture built on transparency, recognition and human connection. Managers celebrate wins publicly, encourage collaboration across teams and provide structured career mapping and a transparent self-promotion process. 

In a largely remote environment, managers help employees stay connected through video-first collaboration, breakout discussions, and team rituals that build trust while keeping accountability high. The result is a leadership style that helps employees feel seen, supported and empowered to do strong work while growing their careers.  96% of employees feel that their manager cares about them as a person (Gallup),  demonstrating strong employee support and connection.  

Organizational Clarity

Leaders at zLinq communicate goals and expectations through a transparent, structured cadence that keeps employees aligned on both company priorities and individual performance. Weekly check-ins keep the organization on the same page, biannual kickoffs include a fully open review of financials and stock information, and quarterly scorecards create clear, bidirectional feedback between employees and the company. Leaders use a KPI operating model to define goals and priorities, and set expectations early through culture alignment conversations and structured onboarding.

Recognition is built into the way the business operates, with weekly shoutouts, Quarterly Values Awards and milestone-based zLinq Days helping employees understand what strong performance looks like while staying connected to the company's values of building trust, getting results and having fun.

Strategic Vision & Direction

Leaders provide vision and direction through publishing a one-page guide that details company mission, vision, values, and strategy, as well as quarterly metrics around our GRACE metrics.  GRACE stands for Gross Marin, Recurring Revenue, Cost of Acquisition, Customer Churn, and Employee Engagement.  These metrics are consistently measured, updated, and shared transparently across the organization.

Glassoor's CEO approval rating of 100% shows that employees feel inspired and trust leadership’s long-term strategy.

 

zLinq Employee Perspectives

Loyalty doesn’t have to be forever, but it has to be for real…

Recently ATT’s CEO announced that they’re “consciously shifting away from loyalty”. After reading about it, I was asked to share my perspective for a Business Insider article and later interviewed about why I believe loyalty in the workplace isn’t dead.

What surprised me most out of hundreds of responses? Turns out my views are in the minority. Most employees and employers seemed fine with loyalty fading.

We spend nearly a third of our lives at work. If workplaces don’t have character, if they don’t foster trust and commitment, both sides are missing out. Loyalty isn’t outdated. It’s a choice worth investing in.

We officially closed the chapter on 2025 and kicked off 2026 here at zLinq—and the energy couldn’t be higher. This is the year to plant the flag , raise the standard, and go build something unforgettable. 💥 

I’m beyond proud to recognize our top performers for both Q4 and all of 2025—two leaders who didn’t just finish strong, they set the pace for what “excellence” looks like.

Elizabeth Doherty—your relentless drive to find a way to win, paired with the preparation and discipline you bring behind the scenes, is a masterclass in consistency and leadership. Congratulations for being the top performer of Q4 and also one of the top performers of 2025! 🔥 

Beatrice (Rosen) Few—the way you stepped back in and immediately elevated the game after time out of the office was nothing short of inspiring. You didn’t miss a beat—you raised the bar. Congratulations on being the top performer of 2025 (hashtag#PresidentsClub) and also one of the top performers of Q4! 🔥 

I'd also like to welcome to the team our newest team members Joshua Fischer, Rosey Cashman, and Edward Van Brusselen! Can't wait to see your impact!

I’m incredibly grateful to build alongside talent like this, and I can’t wait to see what this team creates in 2026 and celebrate our top performers of Q1!

Here’s to a year of momentum 📈 , growth 💪 , and making bold things happen. 🚀 LFG!!!!!

Q2 is officially underway, which means it’s time to recognize the people who make it all happen. 👏 

This is, without question, one of my favorite parts of the job.

A huge congratulations to Adam Austin for earning Top Performer for March. Your consistency quarter after quarter is no accident—it’s a reflection of the discipline, care, and value you bring to every customer interaction. It shows, and your customers feel it.  🏅 

💥 I also want to recognize our Q1 Top performers as well! 💥

Adam Austin — your ability to deliver at a high level, consistently, is what great looks like. (see above 😊 )

Beatrice (Rosen) Few — your talent for aligning the right solution to real customer needs is exceptional. The trust you’ve built with your customers speaks volumes.  🤝 

To the entire team, thank you! The work you’re doing matters, and it’s making an impact.

zLinq Employee Reviews

My leaders discuss my career goals regularly and I am encouraged to take the next step. There are "paths to promotion" for Account Executives and hard work is rewarded with guaranteed promotions. Access to C-level feedback, coaching, and mentoring is truly invaluable and my superiors truly inspire me to bring my best to the table every single day
