Today I want to talk about the direction the company is taking and how I plan to keep up with it. We have really plateaued as a company, and part of that is because we don’t have the manpower. We need some new structure. I have decided to take a two-prong approach to restructuring things. The two sides of the business are: 

• The product side or “getting the product to our customers.” 

• The eCommerce side - email marketing, promotions, product development, and generally everything pre-sale. 

Hopefully, this new structure will help us get to an eight figures status. If you know someone who is kind of a “techie” person, then contact me at [email protected]. I would like a resume or a letter telling me why you are the best fit for the company. 

The things I’m looking for in a new hire are as follows: 

• Able to relocate or already living in the San Diego area. 

• Understands and knows how to manage content. 

• Experience in eCommerce is super important. You need to know how to run Amazon and Shopify stores. 

• A fast learner who can pick up on the stuff they don’t know. 

• A good communicator, so that we can be more efficient. 

• A hard worker and self-starter. 

• Someone who wants a long term position. 

I realize that nobody is going to have all the experience I am looking for, but what is important is the prospect’s willingness to learn. So if you know someone or you are a good fit for me, please let me know. 

Just a reminder, I will be speaking at some events this year. Here is a list of those events. 

1. Ecommerce All Stars -- Austin, TX, August 4-5.
