Technical Advisor – Automated Marketing System focuses on Automated Marketing through various means, and acts as the “brand” for Surigao Internet Marketing services being promoted and resold in the United States. While we've included “old school” automated marketing, such as email marketing… there is more of a focus on mobile marketing, with push notification marketing, text message marketing, and Progressing Web Apps, and “Virtual Business Cards”, as well as Social Media integration and auto posting. We were “all in” on a very innovative Beacon based, Proximity Marketing System, until Google “nixed” Nearby from Android.
DECEMBER 2006 — PRESENT
Surigao City, Philippines
Technical Advisor – Surigao Internet Marketing focuses mainly on general eCommerce, Content, and Membership / MLM websites, for a somewhat fixed set of clients that we've worked with over the years. We hire local talent form the Colleges in Surigao City, some of which have worked with us for more than 10 years. We did some very interesting telephony automation, which ended up being the starting point for more focused automation and innovation with the Automated Marketing System.
AUGUST 2001 — MARCH 2007
Online Retail - Portland, Oregon / Las Vegas, Nevada
Owner / Operator – Enrichment Unlimited was one of the largest distributors of Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad, Poor Dad educational material, and his Cashflow 101, 202 and Cashflow for Kids board games. We also sold the full Nightingale-Conant and Anthony Robbins product lines. This all went well when the dominant media was either Cassettes or CDs, but sales started to plummet when downloadable media took over. In addition, Robert Kiyosaki’s organization decided to handle all sales and distribution themselves, and discontinued their resale distributor’s program. This lead me back into the tech world, and developing websites for people I knew.
