Experience & Qualifications
|
|
Since early 1972 I have created and developed many businesses from scratch.
I built a Aluminum Patio and enclosure business from an idea into the largest and most successful business in Southern California that generated over $500,000.00 - $750,000.00 per month. This eventualy included over 100 employees/contract personnel and a factory that manufactured patio enclosures that were sold at retail prices by our sales force of 18 commissioned salespeople.
In 1978 I was embezzled by a financial consultant and was forced to close the business and lost everything I had.
From that experience I learned many things, and because of this I can pass on this experience to others so they will never have to go through what I did then
After losing the business I started another business, producing consumer events in indoor shopping malls and convention center facilities.
I produced Home Shows, Home and Garden Shows, Energy Conservation Shows, Sports, travel and recreation events in three states.
I also obtained the road show rights to produce the all time television game show "Let's Make A Deal".
I also acted as announcer and second banana to Jay Stewart.
In early 1980 I was offered a substantial amount of money to sell the company and basically retired and moved to Hawaii.
I would commute every week to the mainland and continue to act as announcer, as required by the agreement of sale.
In 1984 I was approached by a large manufacture of a new product called "The California Sunroom" and was asked to develop a dealer network in Northern California as a Manufactures Rep, which I accepted and created for that company a much larger dealer network in the North than in the South that required us to open a major warehouse and distribution outlet up the just to service the sales in that region.
After developing sales in the North I targeted the Southeast region out of Birmingham Alabama.
I established a dealer network there utilizing a 50 year old steel companies existing dealer network and trained their dealers on how to market and sell this product.
In 1990 the company was sold and I was paid a portion of that sale and started Consulting to other business.
In early 1995 I discovered the Internet and very soon realized that this media could provide unlimited opportunities for a person of my talents.
I experimented, succeeded, failed and experimented more and more. I soon developed a Lead Generation System that would not only created that lead, but also at the same time populate it into my newly designed and proprietary Contact Management System that allows clients to not only follow up on their prospects, but also provides them with tools to monitor their progress.
I had well over 450 users on the system paying anywhere from $49.00 - $249.00 per month-every month.
The system is totally automated, and requires little or no real support.
In early 2003 the bottom dropped out. The "No Call" list went in to effect, and the "No Spam" rules went into effect.
I was not calling or spamming, but my clients were doing this to contact their prospects.
I lost 99% of my users, basically overnight.
What to do now.
I created a new concept online "Do-It-Yourself Patios" and generated leads for myself that would create interest in purchasing Aluminum Patio Covers, Sun Rooms, Patio Enclosures nationwide.
I went from a 100 square foot executive suite in to a show room and a corporate headquarters and training facility in less than 2 years.
Both facilities were generating sales and business was great, until about July of 2007.
The economy started to go haywire.
Sales went from 50-60 units a month down to 1 or 2?
I did not see it coming.
We kept shoveling our own money into the business (over $475,000.00) until the light came on.
We closed both facilities and laid off the 18 employees.
I had major back surgery in June of 2008 and knee replacement surgery just in March this year (2009).
I have made a major decision during that period. I wi
