Mallow's mother is on her way to Los Angles today. We are spending more resources in L.A. and San Diego.

"Who is working on what project?"
"What did we communicate with this customer?"

If you would like to have an company based Social Network Like Intranet System that is design to input and share information, FlatCRM might be what you need. We are nearing the completion of version 1 software and planning to conduct Beta Testing. If you are interested, please contact PSPINC.

Seattle Executives Meeting in Seattle

4月

We took our Torrance and San Diego Staffs to Seattle Executives Association meeting today. It was really an eye opening experience for them. I guess they have never been to the meeting where people are openly talking about business leads.

In Charge of Data Center / 3rd Day

3月

29日

I was asked to rebuild data center operations three days ago. I have not done much yet but I already notice there is a communication problem among the people at data center. They often do not understand what they are doing except they are asked do somethings.

I am not very happy with the operations there. Nobody is accountable for anything. I need to fix that.

Here is one example, this images show the pile of old data cables which we have replaced. They are just piled up in the office. Nobody is questioning where those cables should go. I need to teach people to clean and organize and communicate.

I was not sure whether I should post this picture or not. But I am sure I can make this team operate better, so I needed to post BEFORE pictures.

Customer (Un)Service

3月

16日

The Office Max just cancelled my order. In my opinion, if you make a mistake, you eat your loss and go on, or loose your customer forever. I guess that is why Office Max is not doing as well as Staples. There must be a way to handle this situation rather than just send a bulk email.

I will not buy products again from Office Max. They will cancel my order anyway.

It is an interesting move by Rakuten's part to drop buy.com name and move it to rakuten.com. Rakuten is a Japanese company famous for asking employees in Japan to speak only English.

First PSPINC Office

PSPINC #1 Office Site

This is the office building I rent first few months after I started PSPINC in Mercer Island, Washington. I rented a small office on the 2nd floor. I paid 1 year rent in advance so that I will not run out of money.

When we left this building, we occupied about the 1/2 of the entire second floor.

Every Wednesday, I attend Seattle Executives Association with 100 other business owners. It is a very different organization design to benefit companies. If you own a business in the greater Seattle area and would like check out this association, please let me know.

Just remember there is one company per business category, so if your business category is already taken by the current member, you are not allowed to join.
