Still Kicking

I know it has been awhile since I have posted anything to my blog. This has been a crazy busy summer and this fall is going to be even crazier. But some of things I have learned in these past 3 months or so will stay with me forever. The NRA show in Chicago was a great way to find new prospects. I was able to attend a reception for MFHA on the 80th floor of the Mid America Club in Chicago. Talk about high!!! For those of you that watch the Food Network, yes I watch it, but mainly because my wife loves some of the cooking shows, I will admit however I do like The Next Food Network Star. Anyway, I was able to meet last years winner Aaron McCargo Jr. Cool guy, you can tell he is just getting into the swing of things but he was nice enough to chat with me for a few minutes. See picture below. :) Disclaimer, I am drinking Sprite :)



After a very tiring 4 days of the show we came back to Colorado to start the follow up, and to be totally honest with you, I say you because I know there are about 2 people that read this other than my wife. :) We have been doing follow up and working on other things in my sales funnel. There have been some that have weeded themselves out and some that have jumped in head first blazen ready to go!



Around the beginning of July I got a call that could potentially change my life--if it hasn't already. It was a call from a multi billion dollar retail store that was interested in piloting some of our assessments. Through about 100 conversations in 3 weeks, not kidding, we ran the pilot and just got back from presenting the results. It has been a crazy July and beginning of August but it has changed the way I do business, for the better.



We are now gearing up to head down to Brazil next week for some great opportunities that could help us in the international business world. For those of you who don't know, I served a mission for the LDS church back in 2002-2004 in Brazil and had the awesome opportunity to learn to speak Portuguese fluently. This has no doubt helped us in our efforts to open up some great relations with the people down there. And now, we are heading down there to train some of our current customers and meet with some potential customers.



So that is what on the horizon for Corvirtus in the next little while. Later!
