A short story about who I am

I have done a lot of work in the technology industry in the past 5 years.

Including helping many start ups like www.Websitemagazine.com in its infancy. While at websitemagazine.com I found it hard to keep my mind on sales being around so many excellent minds in the web arena. I managed to do very well for them anyway. I was there first trade show guy. I traveled the country to SES AdTech SMX to name a few about 15 shows a year for 2 years. Than after training a guy to be my manager

I left and started Archway Internet Marketing Inc. this being a big mishmash of companies I met and did business with while at website magazine.

Then I built Buildyourresumenow.com because I believed everyone should have a resume like mine. It makes phone interviews more like real interviews. When you can walk someone through your story so simply. When this site was complete I had to market it I tried Adwords Yahoo MSN at the time even paid for ads with careerbuilder.com. Than I tried spending a little money on Facebook which worked better which led to me having this little twitter account twitter.com/buildyourresume . This led to 500 recruiters following me in two month time. This was great for business.

Than I went to my first Social Media Event in Chicago IL. I met a guy who ran a company called tweetaylitics. I thought wow I could offer anayltics for twitter and manage other peoples twitter accounts and manageyourtwitter.com was born.

I ran that for 9 months before a old friend from the Trade shows contacted me on linkedin.com asking me if I would be interested in selling SEM for supermedia.com. I was so I Interviewed the next day and after 3 months in the company I was still on the leader board for top sales person in the country. I also  while in training for this company could not keep my mind off the fact that there was no company out there doing a directory of companies Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Youtube, Meetup, Blogs, 4square pages. I had a developer a friend of my wife's stay with us in early December of 2010 and had him develop just this site for me it is now mostly complete. I used it as the absolute best appointment creator for sales to small and medium sized businesses for the last 20 days when I was at supermedia it is called asocialsearch.com got me 60 appointments in 20 days. Supermedia cut the entire SEM sales division laying off even the VP of sales for supermedia on January 20th 2011.

I have gained skills and talents not listed above or below regarding the building and implementing of all of these sites I have project managed myself to get them to run exactly the way they are supposed to.
