What's next...So much to do.

Today I met with Tony Sirkin. He was so kind to pick up my first order and deliver it to me - 4 cases of Active and 2 cases of Pulse which is the new product designed to lower cholesterol. And by the way, it tastes awesome... more of a berry flavor than Active.

During lunch, Tony and I discussed how we can leverage my skills as an IT guy to build a better online experience for our customers and our organization. I told him of my plans to develop a web site using Joomla 1.5. a real cool content management system (CMS). I am not the most knowledgeable person when it comes to designing websites but I a can configure any application. And that's basically what Joomla is. This site will be something that I will use to create an interest, a buzz - so to speak, about Mona Vie. There you can access my Blog, participate in discussion about Mona Vie, Learn about the product, watch videos, find out where some local tastings are taking place, and generally network with other people in the biz (I'm even thinking about throwing in a Dating Site module... just for you Tony!). A whole bunch of good stuff. But what's even more exciting is that I am going to use another CMS to build a members only section that will allow our members to run their business exactly how we do it. At the forefront of this members only site is a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) application that will allow you to define and organize your marketing efforts, i.e. email campaigns, prospect database, Lead management. This is going to make a huge impact not only in any given persons production, but also in the way people look at this business and how a tool like this makes it even more of a no-brainer to jump on board with us.

Like most people, I tend to be shy about approaching people. Tony is not. So I will bring in the leads through the Internet and Tony will make contact. I think this kind of scenario would work - especially for someone like me. We'll see how it goes.

So much to do... but I'm thinking the effort I am going to put into this is going to pay off big time.
