Working Towards Convention
Will BOSS be at this year’s American Council of the Blind Convention in Orlando Florida? Who knows, but it is possible. If you’re an ACB member, then this may be the news that you want to hear because if it all works out, Jeff and Lori, along with myself and my fiance may end up at the 2009 ACB convention in Orlando Florida promoting the BOSS program.
One of our members, Keith Bundy is going to work out the details with Lori and Jeff concerning them speaking at this year’s convention. So what does this mean for BOSS? Well it means a great deal because it will be our second biggest promotion. Our first promotion was when we were getting ready to start BOSS, and I sent out e-mails to all the chapters of ACB, and NFB.
Going to this year’s convention in Orlando will be a huge milestone for the BOSS program, provided that everything works out like we want it to. However, this is all still in the works, so we’re not sure if it is even going to happen just yet. There are many details that must be worked out until everything is finalized.
However, in the meantime, our 2009 promotional campaign is still going on. I plan to give each and every BOSS member a copy of our promotional CD so that they too can become a vital part of the promotion. There’s lots of work to be done in this promotion, and that’s my job to insure that this promotional campaign goes as smooth as possible, and that our program gets the recognition that it deserves.
As Jeff and Lori do their part in promoting the BOSS program, I too will do my duties in this as well. My job in this is to locate other organizations that cater to the blind and visually impaired. I have crafted a basic e-mail that I use for e-mail promotion to these agencies, and it seams to work pretty well. I have gotten a few responses from it, so I will continue to use it.
What makes this entire promotion thing so exciting is our brand new membership site which the BOSS program is so dependent upon. Without this new site, the BOSS program as it is known today wouldn’t be in existance. We needed this site to make the managing of the program that much easier for those who are responsible for running and managing it.
Not only that, but this new site makes the program look that much more professional than our first site did. Our first site, though it was quite simplified, had its purpose, but it was time to advance further and use something that was more reliable and more professional.
Now when I promote the program, I am pleased to take people to our information page which is on our site. The new site is what prompted me to create our promotional package in the first place. So now that we have our promotional package, it can be used to spread the word about our program. This promotional package alone makes the promotion of BOSS much easier.
Of course, there’s lots of work to be done when it comes to promoting a program such as this. All those e-mails to send, promotional packages to send, and live promotion such as what Jeff, Lori and myself will be doing in Orlando, provided that it all works according to plan.
These are very exciting times because this is our second year this coming July. That’s right, BOSS will be 2 years old. HOwever, from all that we have learned, you would think that we’re actually much older than that, but it is all due to the fact that our members work so hard, and they’re focused and determined to make their successes work.
We’re moving fast and we will continue to do so so as long as there are people who are willing to take action and do what is required of them. By going to Orlando this year, we will be able to show people just what our program is all about. Hopefully we will get people excited and want to learn more about what we do. Ultimately, we would love to get even more members into our program. Isn’t that the reason why we plan to go to Orlando in the first place?
If you’re a BOSS member reading this, then picture this in your mind. Imagine that it is Monday morning, the first day of the convention, and the general session has already begun. You listen to a couple of speakers from other agencies and companies, and then the president of the American Council gets on the microphone and announces the next speakers, Jeff Wark, Lori Steffen and Donald Brown who are going to talk about their exciting program called the Blind Online Success System.
Ok, now imagine you sitting there in the audience and listening to what we have to tell you about our program. You sit there on the edge of your seat, hanging on every word because you’re excited aboutt this brand new opportunity that will help the blind and visually impaired become successful business owners. The more you hear, the more you want to join the program.
Does this sound like something that you would feel if you were there at the convention? Well it could happen, provided that everything falls into place. However, I can’t promise that this will happen, but since we started quite early, I feel that we stand a chance at speaking there. I will definitely keep everyone posted as what is going on behind the scenes in the planning of this monumental event for BOSS.
