TESTIMONIALS ARE ON THE WEB!  October 19, 2007.   Our first CFL project is now an overwhelming success thanks to all of you and to our customers.  GO HERE TO SEE.

TESTIMONIAL TAPING IS COMPLETE.  THE HEAVY LIFTING IS DONE! August 28, 2007.   We have finished the taping and it came off very well -- thanks to Robin at Big Communications!  Check here soon for when the finished product will be available.  It will, at a minimum, be several weeks. 

NAMES & SCHEDULES ALL WRAPPED UP FOR TAPING THIS WEEKEND. August 21, 2007.   We have finished the testimonial selection and schedule for taping.  Go here for a list of those who will visit Birmingham this weekend for the taping session.  Big Communication has put together packets for each customer and they have been mailed to the store from which each customer was referred.  The customers have been instructed to stop by the stores to pick up their travel package before coming to Birmingham.

Click here to see the welcome package and what is included for the customer.  We've tried to think of everything, but if you see we've missed something, please notify Robin immediately and we will get it fixed.  

Robin has been in constant communication with the customers so they should have all the information they need.  If, however you or your customer need more information please contact Robin at robin@bigcom.com or 205-322-5646 ext. 103.

As you can see from the welcome package, this should be a fun weekend for everyone involved -- not to mention being very productive for our CFL effort!  We are anxious to get reports back from you all on what your customers thought.  Click here and drop us an email and let us know.

There are a couple of additional items to mention.  First, we do plan to notify those who were not selected and thank them for their effort.  Second, we are several weeks away before we see the finished testimonials.  We have a few others who we may record in the next week or so and afterwards we will need time to edit and make them ready for distribution.

TESTIMONIAL PROGRESS & UPDATE. August 13, 2007.   We are almost there.  Robin has set a date for August the 24th and 25th as taping dates in Birmingham.  About two-thirds of the target prospects are committed to the session.  We will publish a list as soon as we have the full list of prospects committed.  We expect that to be in the next day or so.

TESTIMONIAL PROGRESS & UPDATE. August 7, 2007.   We are getting very close to our short list of testimonial prospects for taping.  But, we are not quite ready to publish them.  We should be ready within a few more days.  Robin has been in constant touch with all of the prospects and is working toward a date for the taping.  The dates are in August and are Friday and Saturday the 17th and 18th or the 24th and 25th.  The plan is to tape on Friday and Saturday to accommodate our customer's schedule.  We will get back to you in a few days.

We know these are going to be incredible!

TESTIMONIAL PROGRESS & UPDATE. August 1, 2007.   Thanks to everyone who submitted testimonial stories!  We have over 60 customer testimonials that were submitted by our members.  There are some really tremendous stories.  We have always said our customer's value the service we provide.  That clearly comes across in what our customers have told us during this project.  We know we will have some great videos from this effort!

At the moment, we are in the process of contacting the prospects and making a short list of those customers who are interested in telling their story on video.  We expect this process will take at least another week to 10 days.  We will get you information as soon as we complete this next phase.  In the meantime, some of you may hear from Robin Oliver with Big Communications in connection with the names and stories you submitted.

We will get back to everyone in about ten days.
