31. What exactly do you and your brother do for the business on a daily basis?
Jeff and Charles handle the affiliates. Jeff screens every single signup that comes in and I mean EVERY SALE. We have a merchant account, so we must be careful with fraud. Jeff has implemented and mastered our own set of fraud parameters that could get our merchant account shut down if not for his vigorous screening methods. This reduces chargebacks, fraud, and credits .He also is very involved in all design work. He must approve every design related thing as he is a perfectionist and as much as it drives the rest of the office crazy, we are all glad he is this way in the end, because its a good thing in the long run. I handle picking every model we use on the sites so I am dealing with dozens of photographers everyday. I personally do all of the members area updates and keep 2257 in perfect shape. I also am very involved in day to day operations. I will go to Charles (who has lots of control here) and check with him. We have gotten very good and what to expect from each other so I can just sit with him and he can give me a run down of all good, bad, and nuetral things going on in the office and the business in general.
We also just purchased 2 very large TGP's and I am currently getting a crash course on those and just making sure Dave who is running those is doing the best job he can. He fills me in and I give him my ideas. I like to learn so I ask him lots of questions. He already has demonstrated some excellent trades and productive sales swaps! So he has done a very good job on this so far
Hit him up and see if we can work something out.
