And the countdown clock starts...

Well the countdown clock has now started, we have a 7 AM conference call with the development team, and it looks like we will have a product in 4 short weeks. Yet, there seems to be so much to accomplish in that short time on an operations side of the fence.

We have made a decision on a Sales Director or VP of Sales, I want to welcome Jim Keenan to the team. Jim has more than 10 years in leading and developing sales teams at a variety of businesses. I look forward to working with him.

So what all needs to be done? Our target is to have at minimum 10 sales reps hitting the streets within the next two weeks. We need to finalize all marketing materials, pricing, quotas, order business cards, setup email accounts, etc. Then we need to look at sales tools like Hoovers or LexisNexis, CRM products - to use MS Dynamics or Salesforce.com... and the list never seems to end.

The next few weeks are going to be extremely busy, which for some reason, I am craving starting the day and don't want to stop at the end of the day...

Keep SAVING!
Mike.
