Eric Dahl: I am a big believer in marketing. Years back I helped a business from scratch in the heart of the recession (2008). We started going out, door-to-door.
We didn’t even have business cards. I didn’t even know what a server was. We were promoting IT services. And I was out there. Through that whole process of learning how to market, learning how to promote…
…I was able to build that company into a million-dollar company and 12 employees in less than five years. So that whole experience really taught me a lot about the passion and the grit you must have to be an entrepreneur. I mean, it’s not easy.
You really need to believe and have faith in what you’re doing. I hope to instill that in my clients. Help them get through the confusion, because of so much information out there.
When it comes to marketing, at the end of the day, it’s all about getting results. That’s really what we’re all about.
Shannon Nill: Eric can I just say something really quick?
(Yeah)
We met at Springfield Greeters a couple years ago.
He introduced me to Deus Machine who immediately fulfilled the need in our dealership to cover 24/7 parts of the operation, when we were all in bed. I slept better after that and our company’s still using the service.
Even though you moved onto your own business we’re still using a service that you set us up with, a valuable vendor for us. And I gotta say your outreach through Greeters and other networking areas is a good example of what we try to do at Greeters.
I know everybody in here would agree. It’s a valuable spot to start a business. To be here with you on this day, is a precious moment…
…So congratulations from all of us!
You’re going to do well. You’ve got a sharp mind. You’re bright. You’re an athlete. That counts for a lot of things… and even though you’re a duck, I support you!
