The end of January follows the sales team continuing our efforts to personally meet with all of our clients and prospects.
President of TempWorks, David Dourgarian, and myself traveled all of last week. We started off in Miami, drove to Tampa, flew to NYC, and finally back home. We didn't put 1200+ miles on the rental car like I did with Jose earlier in the month, but the air miles more than made up for it. We had a great mix of meetings with both clients and prospects. Unfortunately we had the luck of hitting the tornadoes in Miami and the 16+ inches of snow in NYC during the trip.
We had an interesting meeting with a prospect in Florida that is looking to use our "Day Pay Facility". We haven't really coined a name for this module quite yet, but it is shaping up to be able to boost our market share of the day pay firms. If you want to take a look at it you can feel free to contact me or anyone in sales at TempWorks.
Speaking of contacting us... TempWorks launched our new website last week. We had Paul Phipps working hard to drive more traffic to our website and put out more creative information. I have to say it look pretty good! Feel free to check it out at the same sight. www.tempworks.com
As for the next couple of weeks, I have the distinct pleasure of being the best man in a wedding next week so it won't yield too much activity from my end. The reason I mention this is that David Dourgarian is getting married! Lucky for us Minnesotans it is a destination wedding. Please join me in wishing him an early congratulations.
Towards the middle of February I am looking to make some visits to Texas. If you want to discuss our products/services, schedule a time to meet, or just shoot the breeze; contact me at casey@tempworks.com or 651.287.8377.

Coming to a town near you...
As we turn the corner and get into the full swing of the new calendar year there are some changes that will be happening within the sales team at TempWorks.
Statistically, quarter 1 is slowest period of time for staffing software sales throughout the year. 2010 was a successful year with 70 new customers coming on board. Although we hope we continue to see high volumes of prospects and customers, we're gearing up to make improvements and changes during the 1st quarter of 2011.
Last week started the sales initiative to have sales get more involved with customer service. If you read our CEO's blog, http://staffingtalk.com, you will understand that customer service starts with our upper management and continues through the entire organization.
Myself and one of our sales reps, Jose Maldonado, took a trip out to MD, VA, PA, and NJ last week. We visited 2 propsects and 12 current customers. We put over 1,200 miles on the rental car. We heard praises and we fielded questions. We discussed Enterprise with customers on older versions. We discussed wish lists with customers looking to help us add new functionality to our application. Most importantly we were able to see clients who, in some cases, haven't had a TempWorks employee onsite in over 2 years!
Next week I will be traveling to Florida and New York to continue to meet with our current customers.
Over the next few months there will be a sales rep in your area. If you are a current customer, please expect a call for someone to come and spend some time on site. If you are a prospect, let us know if you would be interested in a visit while we service the area.
Stay posted for further updates from the sales team as we look forward to a great year at TempWorks and for the industry as a whole!
