Menards Cost
September 28, 2007
Chis called and gave us a quote on the cost of a new Infiniti race engine. It was in line with the price I thought it would be.
Verizon Fios
September 28, 2007
I have had many companies sponsor me with advertising space. This can be a win win situation for all parties. I think we can do that with Verizon Fios. G3 and I went over this and G3 presented it to Jeff. Jeff liked the concept but he doesn’t handle Fios. He is going to contact the person that does and present the idea. This could be really good because G3 could advertise his dealership and Infiniti could purchase the rest of the ad space.
Verizon Meeting!!
September 26, 2007
I had a hard time sleeping. I kept going over what I was going to say. I met up with G3 at the dealership at 9am. We drove over together and just tried to get loose and easy going. Jeff met with us but the regional people didn’t make it. That was disappointing. We spent a lot of time talking about Verizon and ourselves. When we got to the meat of the proposal we only had 3 minutes. So G3 rushed through our offer and what makes us different. We didn’t know how much time we had and that was our fault. We should have found out before we started. All in all it was a good meeting. While we were at the Verizon office, we met up with Bill for lunch. He has been a big help to us and he loved our proposal. Later in the day, Jeff called and said he was sorry he had to rush us. He gave us a contact at Verizon Wireless. I think we will get another meeting.
Verizon Last Day Before Meeting!!
September 24, 2007
I went up to the dealership to get everything in order. I realized at the last minute that we needed to put our letter from Nissan in the proposal. Darrin jumped on that and created a really cool page. I think it is one of the best in the presentation. After we had it all together, I went up to Kinkos and had them print it up and bind it. That took awhile because Kinkos didn’t have some of the fonds on their computers. Once I had the final proposal in my hands, I went back to the dealership. G3 and I went over the proposal and discussed how we are going to present it. We went page by page talking about every detail. We are very prepared for this meeting and I can’t wait.
Verizon Sunday Night Phone Call
September 23, 2007
G3 called me around 8pm to go over the presentation. We wanted to clean it up even more. After all of this, it flows really well. I think we have been a really good team putting this together.
Verizon Weekend Meeting
September 22, 2007
G3, Darrin and I met up at the dealership to put the proposal together. Darrin finished the presentation and we made some changes. All in all the proposal looks great. I thin we are going to impress them.
Verizon input
September 20, 2007
G3 talked to Bill and Bill doesn’t think we need to go crazy with this proposal. He sees this as a first meeting and it will take a couple more before it is a done deal. Darrin said that he is going to work on some pictures tonight and put things together tomorrow. Terah looked our proposal over and she found a couple minor issues. She is a really good proofreader.
Verizon Presentation
September 19, 2007
The most important thing in my world right now is this presentation. I started the day by contacting Grand-Am to get as much marketing information as I could. They emailed it to me and it had everything we need. I spent the rest of the day working on my part of the proposal. G3 worked late last night on his part and put a lot of it together. G3 and I went over the proposal at the end of the day.
Verizon Proposal Meeting
September 18, 2007
G3, Darrin and I met at the dealership to discuss the Verizon presentation. We spent hours going over it and I think we will have an awesome presentation. The goal is to have it done by Friday and do the fine touches over the weekend.
