24. How did you end up working for jupiter hosting?
After WebSideStory unsuccessfully tried to go public back in 2000, Rainey started Detour Interactive. I left WSS and went with Rainey and continued to sell traffic. After a long working relationship with Rainey, I decided I needed to branch out on my own and started Poppy-Enterprises. Like many other consultants, I decided to align myself and rep a few companies. Non competing of course. I ended up repping some respectable email lists and also promoted Spread4U. One day, I was talking to Tanker and he mentioned I should add Adult.com to my list. Well, I ended up taking them on as client and it was agreed I would sell hosting. So, I flew up and and met with both Lensman and Ray Taft (CEO, Jupiter) and the rest is history. I have been with Jupiter since 1993 and enjoy every minute of it. I have a learned a ton and am still learning. I have pretty much been the only salesperson here, but we are growing so much, that that will change. We have recently hired an industry veteran, Kevin Croy aka KC (Paycounter). KC is our Vice President of Business Development. All 3 of us will be in Vegas, so if anyone would like to meet up with us to discuss biz, please call my cell 858-922-0044. We are now offering Software Development and all of our provided by on-site staff, not outsourced. This is a great way to reduce your costs and production time.
