It's been non-stop 18 hour days!!! But we have a live site!!!

GREAT NEWS!!! After 6 straight days of 18 hours, we have a live site... Now we will spend a few days making sure all the feature functions work before we load client advertisements to the site...

Some thanks that need to go out...

Microsoft - Thanks for putting together the BizSpark program... Also - Windows 7 is the best OS since XP... :)

David - Dude, you rocked getting the site live... this guy put in the long hours with Microsoft, the hosting companies - in the middle of deploying the site we had to switch hosting providers due to limitations in administrative rolls on the dedicated servers.

Jessie - Simply an amazing job on everything you have done, from documentation, to project management, to working on marketing material... BTW - thanks for buying David and me lunch today :)~

Jim - Great work today in leading the talk with the potential client... I am feeling extremely confident in our sales team...

Anil -Thank you for all of your efforts in leading the development team... Being a week behind and catching up over a weekend was amazing work.

Development team - The site looks very good, thank you guys...

Our sales team - Go Get Them!!! - Beth, Brian, Erin, Kevin, Jenna, Jerry, Kathy, Kurt, and Michael... All of you are out there trying to make this company a success, I know that you can...
I love the team effort I am seeing, and the creativeness that is starting to flow...

I also guess I need to catch all of you up to date on our progress... so much has been going on, that I had to decide if it was worth getting 20 extra minutes a day of sleep or to post... at 4-5 hours a night of sleep on average, sorry the sleep won out...

As you can see, our sales force has grown... we are now focusing on local, regional, and national accounts, so if your a small, medium, or large business representative, expect a call from someone from Chasing Savings!!!

As mentioned above, two weeks ago Thursday, Jessie determined that we were running about a week behind the project plan - which on our rushed schedule meant that we were actually about a month to two behind... Anil and the development team added more resources and over a weekend basically caught back up for the deliverable time... Very Good Job!!! Anil, you have proven that 1) Jessie was right in recommending you, and 2) you have proven to be an asset to Chasing Savings

Anyway - It is time I get reacquainted with my wife and daughter... everyone have a great weekend... and Keep Saving!!! - Mike Holland - CEO of Chasingsavings.com
