Who We Are
Based in Phoenix, Arizona, our Microsoft.NET software
development division project team brings together a wide range
of real life experiences with businesses like yours that help
us create the software applications that answers your critical
business needs.
What We Believe:
All of us believe in the personal
empowerment that the Internet can give groups of determined people.
We are such a group. We have moved from the vision of a few to
the actions of many. As a team, we have come together to accomplish
the improbable. We have created a new media company, that will
soon become a major force in in the new economy, created by a
small band of creative people possessed with a work ethic and
an unpretentious philosophy that translates into everything we
do for our clients.
Imagine the Possibilities With Us.
We Believe in Cooperative Venturing:
The Web frees information for instant global distribution
empowering anyone with imagination, creative talent, and cutting
edge tools can rival the corporate giants that have exclusively
owned distribution channels until now.
Small groups of people united can be a powerful
force. Founding companies are often started by two or three people.
A recent study of 200 fast growth companies shows that 54 percent
were started by two people, 40 percent by three or more, and six
percent by one person Many studies have been done on cooperative
venturing. Evidence is very strong that teaming has merits.
In order to grow in sales and profits, it is necessary
for the entrepreneur to build a cooperative team of employees
and partners that add strength to the company. It is essential
that a business be run as a team, and to recognize and select
team members who can contribute key skills and work together in
the long run under sometimes difficult situations. The biggest
tangible benefit is that it brings together complimentary skills.
The entrepreneur is unlikely to have all of the necessary abilities
to grow the business.
Team building is absolutely key to any company's
success. Obviously, communication is of course important but there
are certain Key Qualities of Good Team Members which center around
their survival techniques in various situations.
We Believe that in our quest for great team members
we should emphasize the following biases:
Look for people who anticipate adversity, and
do something about it.
Have they been through the trenches?
Can they work under stress?
Can they turn a negative into a positive?
We Believe in Counting brains above experience:
Marketing consultant William J Stolze says If
you hire someone who is smart but inexperienced, three years later
you have someone who is smart and experienced. If you hire someone
who is experienced but not very smart, three years later you have
someone a little more experienced, but still not very smart.
We Believe in Identifying non winners and non
winning strategies and act decisively to remove them from the
situation.
A non winner is someone who always falls just
short of success. Never completely incompetent enough to fire,
but never successful at deployment. Everyone's productivity suffers
because of it. One barrier of success for these type of people
is poor balance between short-term performance and long-term performance.
Many people have a hard time dealing with the conflict between
the two. Put simply, good long-term performance is good short-term
performance repeated over and over again. Non Winners lose companies
money by obsessing over solutions. They never know when solutions
are good enough to deploy. Non winning strategies extend the creative
and deployment cycles to unacceptable and often dangerous time
lines.
Successful people have the ability to decide when
the solutions to the problems they face are good enough. In any
field, there comes a time when you have to stop and say the task
is finished. No matter what the problem is, if you work on it
a little longer, you will probably reach a perfect solution. In
all likelihood, however, almost all customers never notice the
difference. There are no formulas or equations for determining
when a solution is good enough. It is based on the common sense
judgment of people. Giving non winners power over project deadlines
is tantamount to disaster in the fast paced Internet industry.
We Believe that winning companies recognize the
importance of selling and pricing.
Nothing happens until someone sells something
Winners recognize the importance of selling in
what ever they do. It is the one business discipline that everyone
should be spending more time doing than any other, regardless
of their job. Many entrepreneurs and employees do not understand
the importance of selling. Unless the new business develops positive
cash flow before it runs out of capital, it will not survive.
Our attitude is we want to assist our clients to generate positive
cash flow.
When selling, it is important to surround the
product or service with benefits of sufficient importance so that
customers will pay a higher price. This is part of the basic advice
we offer our clients. Most of the time, customers do not make
their purchase decisions based solely on price, value is the closer.
Value has two components: benefits and price. We assist our clients
in defining benefits. We help our clients discover a Value Proposition
that enhances their Unique Selling Proposition. We help our clients
infect viral marketing techniques into everything that they do
in innovative, effective ways.
In the "new" New Economy we help our
customers focus on what every seasoned business person knows:
- Successful companies spend on things that bring
results
- Successful companies get customers to buy
- Successful companies get customers to return
to the site
- Successful companies get things done quickly
- Successful companies think outside the box
- Successful companies empower winners
