Dear Fellow Elite 300 Team Members,
Like all of you, I was extremely impressed with the vision that Joel and Brad laid out several years ago. Going back to Vortex days, there was a sense of passion and commitment that clearly resonated in their voices and their written communication that raised both curiosity and that ÔÇ£not sure if itÔÇÖs all real, but I donÔÇÖt want to miss outÔÇØ scenario that convinced us to stay the course. And, like many start-up companies, the process of education on the road to success yields new ideas that, when combined with current thinking, can lead to a bigger and better opportunity. All of those characteristics ÔÇô passion, commitment, perseverance, and open minds ÔÇô have become the heart and soul of BVD, JBI, and now AdPlotter. As important are those same characteristics in you, The Elite 300, who contributed to both the financial foundation of the company, but who have developed the platforms in your own businesses to prepare for the exciting times ahead.
IÔÇÖve maintained communication with Joel and Brad over the years, and occasionally share thoughts and best practices from companies for whom I worked in technology and media ÔÇô some big like IBM and AT&T, but closer to home were emerging tech start-ups in both hardware and software. They were always receptive to new ideas, and our relationship strengthened over time. About a year ago, Joel asked if I would consider joining the board of JBI, and I was indeed honored to accept. The vision that he shared for the evolution of BVD and AdPlotter felt like home to me, and I was happy to share any experiences with the team that could help accelerate the growth. Furthermore, the group that has been assembled on the board has the experience and dedication required to take our business to the next level ÔÇô FAST!
At the conclusion of a recent job assignment, I agreed to move to San Antonio for the summer (think I forgot about summer weather conditions!) to assist as a board member with any of the activities in motion relative to product launches, branding, customer service, etc. ItÔÇÖs been an absolute treat to be here at this time with all the things in motion for the launch of AdPlotter to the outside world. It will no longer be a secret to 310 people ÔÇô the World will now learn ÔÇô and all of our mutual efforts will begin to bear fruit.
Before jumping ahead, let me share a few observations from my first few months in San Antonio:
  • Joel and Brad have created a culture of dedicated professionals, including employees, consultants, programmers, customer service, and tech support. There is truly a team feeling of ÔÇ£letÔÇÖs make it happenÔÇØ in an efficient, progressive, and professional manner. ItÔÇÖs a pleasure to be on this team.
  • The Vision is both evolutionary and revolutionary. Frankly, strategic planning is tough in this environment because of the many opportunities available through technology. We want to maximize the opportunity for all of us.
  • Like any start-up, we have significant challenges ahead ÔÇô product development, training, education, sales initiatives, branding, etc. But we have strong plans in place now for marketing, social media, customer service, and tech support that will be available 24X7 for you and your customers.
  • The joint venture with Geodesic Solutions has been an incredible step in maximizing our brand awareness and competitive advantage in the market. Many of you have taken advantage of this relationship through the purchase of a GeoTurbo classified site, and there are numerous enhancements planned for those sites in the near future.
  • Outside interest from large international classified sites is happening on a regular basis, and will expand considerably with planned marketing/brand awareness activities
The coming months will continue to be extremely busy, and you can expect to see exciting announcements like the following:
  • Appointment of a Channel Manager, 300 Elite Group to insure youÔÇÖre getting the support you need and your voice is being heard
  • Expansion of current Live Chat support personnel to include sales conversion assistance, customer service, and tech support with dedicated 24X7 resources
  • Social Media ÔÇ£eBook for successÔÇØ ÔÇô the HOW TO be successful promoting your brand.
  • PR and branding into significant radio, TV, magazine, and newspaper outlets
  • Enhancement of branding and graphics on website
  • New strategic pricing model with simplified explanations that will make sense for ANYONE who sells ANYTHING to expand their marketing footprint and enhance SEO via AdPlotter.
  • Introduction of AdPlotter mobile app for listing FAST anytime, anywhere
  • Availability of a unique and amazing marketing technique requiring minimum skill and training to execute
  • Expansion of GeoTurbo functionality and support structure
  • Integration of MAJOR successful classified sites with AdPlotter on an international basis
  • Partnerships with large membership enterprises whose members have a significant presence on the internet
  • Elite 300 ÔÇ£Think TankÔÇØ gathering to bring all of us together to celebrate, share, and expand our horizons.
As you can see, things are ÔÇ£happeningÔÇØ, and I just wanted to share a little perspective from a fellow Elite 300 member. Thanks for your continued perseverance and belief in our mission, and feel free to contact me at any time with your ideas and questions. ItÔÇÖs a thrill to be launching with you.
LetÔÇÖs Rock!
Take Care & God Bless
