Guess how many websites there are globally?
(And we wonder why it’s tough to get prospect’s attention!) Happy December folks! I came across an article recently by Netcraft. Netcraft is an internet services company based in the United Kingdom which provides internet security services. Netcraft did some surveys in January 2018 and realized there are 1,805,260,010 websites worldwide. I’m going to go […]
Happy November Everyone!
Hey everyone! Wow! This year has flown by quickly. 10 months down. 2 more to before we say goodbye to 2019! I don’t have anything life-shattering to say that hasn’t been said already but I have much to be thankful and grateful for. As we celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday in a few weeks, I am […]
Content Marketing Myth: Good content rises to the top!
Hello everyone! I read an article recently by Jeremy Miller of Sticky Branding. In his words verbatim straight from the article: “Today, you can write a hundred articles and not generate a single lead. According to a research report by Moz, 50% of articles published have no likes, shares, comments, and probably no views. Sure, […]
Greetings from San Francisco!

Aloha from Hawaii!
Just kidding! I’m actually sitting in my office back in Kansas City! Happy August everyone! My, how time flies! 7 months down, 5 more to go! From July 20 – 28, I was in Hawaii for my father in law’s retirement party/family reunion. It was nice to get away and hit the ocean and beach […]

Happy Almost End of June!
Happy summer everyone! Not much to report here! I’ll be flying to Atlanta next week to see two of my sales reps who work for Connect 5000 remote. I’ve known Anne Brown since 2012 but we’ve never met in person. I’ve known Hanna Rodriguez since 2013 when I was the interim Director Sales for her […]
