Description:
My parnter and I started the business in a strip mall on a major road, with great visability. I won the contract to be an authorized agent of BellSouth Mobility. We were poineers that caught the wave of pagers and cell phones, in the late 80's through the mid- 90's. Also marketed Lojac systems, that track stolen cars, and navigation systems for Bosch/Blaupunkt, before anyone had them in the US, back in 1991. Got a lot of PR in Atlanta newspapers, and on Atlanta TV news. I believe our marketing efforts, many of which were "out of the box" that made our company grow and explode in our second year. We had to move to a larger building in an office park. Our primary focus was large corp. with many road warrier sales reps, out in the field, and needing communication. Some of our clients were IBM, AT&T, Coca Cola USA, and many more.
