So much done, So much to do!

It's been almost a year now since my partners and I began working seriously on the development of our website and our company. In that time what have we accomplished?

1. First we came up with a really good idea. A website that would give contractors an edge by letting them know about homeowners and other clients who had a history of not paying.

2. We developed a website and set up a database that would effectively accomplish this goal.

3. We expanded our vision to include a business network where contractors, suppliers, and vendors could communicate with each other and share ideas about everthing industry related.

4. We promoted this idea and website through tradeshows, direct advertising and marketing, Facebook, Twitter, and other social media outlets.

5. We gained over 3000 friends and followers on social media and over 200 members on our own web based network.

6. We learned a lot about the business of networking and social media and formed several lasting and meaningful business relationships and friendships with the hardworking contractors that build this country and this world.

What do we have left to do?

Everything!

We still have to finish the development of our directory which will allow contractors to advertise to homeowners. We still have to increase our on the ground presence here in the South East. Most importantly we have to keep the contractors, vendors, and suppliers interested and excited about our network.

We have a big job ahead of us, but with your help I am sure that we can do it! Thanks for being a part of something unique and useful.
