Sorry I missed yesterday’s blog. Too many tasks, not enough time! Last night we conducted the first online webinar in Spanish, thanks to Julio Nieto, one of our Hispanic Associates. Julio is a long-time (legal!) immigrant from Venezuela and has taken the time and effort to translate our entire presentation into Spanish. A big “Thank You” goes to Julio! Thanks to his efforts, we can now present the GlobalTmail opportunity to those who don’t speak English.
Nathan, myself and Julio went to dinner after last night’s presentation, where I snapped this quick picture of Julio as we celebrated TWO “firsts” for the company. Not only did we make the first Spanish-speaking presentation, but also, this was the very first time somebody other than ‘yours truly’ gave the entire presentation! I expect to be handing over the reins of chief presenter to others in the coming months, but it seems that title has already been claimed, at least for the Spanish translation meetings, by Julio! Once again, Thank You, Julio, for doing such an excellent job! I really do appreciate your efforts. We’ll be conducting another Spanish speaking meeting tonight at 7:00 pm. If you know anyone else who would like to join, please let me know and we’ll send out an invitation.
On the “bulk calling'” front, I didn’t get any new information yesterday or this morning. It’s about 8:30 a.m. as I write this and I have sent messages to both Jeff and Abushek asking for an ETA for the bulk dialer GUI (Graphical User Interface) as well as the real-time call progress report. As of this writing I haven’t heard anything new. I am quite certain I haven’t heard anything simply because they are both still working on the software. I do expect a response sometime today and will report here as soon as I know more. I am standing by my comments during the past week, that we do expect to be making calls by Friday (tomorrow!). Please remember, that doesn’t mean well be in full production by tomorrow; it simply means we’ll be operating 10 concurrent outbound channels (phone lines), initially only calling our handful of beta testers. Once we’re confident that the call functions work properly, we’ll roll that into “live” database calls. I don’t think we’ll need any more than a day or two of test calls before making the “live” calls.
As we settle into our call distribution methods, we’ll start increasing the number of concurrent calls to the point where we are keeping all the trained and available Associates busy. So it looks like March really is our “turn-around month!”
