Consider the story of the Eagle Catcher, which has been adopted as our corporate philosophy on customer service and whose statue is proudly displayed at the entrance to our corporate headquarters. The Eagle Catcher depicted in our statue is an American-Indian catching a bald eagle for the purpose of borrowing a few of its feathers for his tribe’s ceremonial head dresses. Since the eagle was revered as a symbol of freedom, killing it was not allowed. Instead, the young warrior would tether a live rodent to himself as bait, then lie down on his back, cover himself with grass, and wait for the eagle to strike. At just the right moment, he would grab the eagle and pluck the coveted feathers, releasing him when the task was complete.

We hold this story dear because the young Eagle Catcher was IN SERVICE to his tribe, developing a creative solution to get the job done. It is this spirit of service and dedication that defines Sage’s commitment to our customers and the honor of being in service to another.
