    Web developing techniques to improve childrens eBooks?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Hey guys, I've been looking into all the finer points of getting our website built. In the meantime while researching all kinds of shit I cane across "Parallax scrolling". I think it's pretty damn cool but I've also only been looking at the "best of" sites. Here's a thought I had last night...

    Medical app for paramedics

    EXECUTION 
    This week was pretty productive for us. We were initially wanting to release the beta version July 14th but were unhappy with the website, marketing, and we still had a few small changes we needed to make on the apps themselves. At this point we are using Aug 11 as a release date which should...

    Anyone follow The Ultimate Sales Machine concepts?

    MARKETING 
    I agree. I'm about as niche as I can be with my product. If you look at the core of what it does it can be scaled to any industry that could benefit from having the ability to send secure messages from the field to a base station. We'd like to target the CDC and military applications once we get...

    Anyone follow The Ultimate Sales Machine concepts?

    MARKETING 
    I'm working on the website copy and a press release to send out when we release. I guess what I took from the book was to make it educational and then present your product as a solution. Shouldn't be too hard as I usually gave every demo the exact same during our validation phase. Plus being the...

    Anyone follow The Ultimate Sales Machine concepts?

    MARKETING 
    I'm about 3/4 thought it and so far the concepts I'm most interested in is the hiring style(getting the candidate to sell themselves), educational marketing, and educational website versus a product based website. Were building our site currently and I'm looking at making it customer focused...

    Biggest Pain Point in Starting a Business

    Starting a business is a pain point of starting a business. With that being said it is more like a series of pain points that I need to tackle. I thought about this but looking back at previous "pain points" they were just hurdles that needed to be overcome. Looking at some of the more...

    Nice work man!! Those little victories are SO important. Especially with the ups and downs of a fledgling business. Those will help you stay positive and keep those lows from getting too discouraging.

    Medical app for paramedics

    EXECUTION 
    Yes absolutely. But we're both pretty burnt out and would be able to get a lot more done without our jobs. You are correct though.

    Medical app for paramedics

    EXECUTION 
    Yeah we're back on track after a week or so of our nerves being fried. As of Monday I now have the actual product for beta testing. Been takings pics if everything to use the program as much as possible to test. Now we just gotta get it into a hospital and get income. After all that drama...

    Medical app for paramedics

    EXECUTION 
    Oh no worries man. End result was nothing. No conflict of interest of anything else. They just said my employer needs to know in case of a conflict of interest. They found out as a result of awesome exposure on our end. I'm not worried and after discussing with our attorney were just fine...

    "Hiring" based on connections versus qualifications

    After a long discussion I've come to the place where us as his managers let him have somewhat free reign. Our issue was a lack of rigidity due to adding another person way too soon and not very well planned. He's on the back burner invade we need his dad for business but I'm busting my a$$ so we...

    "Hiring" based on connections versus qualifications

    So I like to think outside the box with this type of stuff. I like the benefits associated but I can't handle hiring a lazy a$$. I'm thinking about a finders fee with no hiring, but that still sounds like it could turn into a bad situation.

    "Hiring" based on connections versus qualifications

    I agree. We have one chance to create the business' atmosphere. Last thing I want is to have a lazy a**hole sitting in the corner for no reason other than who his dad is. My partner seems to think it's acceptable but I disagree.

    "Hiring" based on connections versus qualifications

    Greetings, As we get ready to launch our beta application we are networking like crazy to get it out into the open with local hospital groups. One of our co-workers has a father who works for a massive hospital organization and is in charge of the IT and computing area. Basically he would be...

    MARKETING 
    Hi guys, I'm about done with the build for a beta test at an actual hospital. One of the things I'm focusing on now is marketing to help find that hospital. I have some brochure type stuff and have been trying to do actual live demos of the product. One of the best tools I think I could add to...

    Medical app for paramedics

    EXECUTION 
    My meeting came a day early. I was in for about 35 min. They got a couple phone calls regarding the product. They were pretty vague as my managers had no idea what the other hospitals were talking about. Got a line about intellectual property because I'm building a product related to my field...
