Internships at FamilyLink – Utah’s Fastest Growing Web Company
It’s still a well-kept secret, but last month FamilyLink was the fastest growing web site in the US according to Comscore. But you wouldn’t know it from the (low) number of requests we get for part-time employment or internships. If you are studying web development, marketing, multimedia or business at BYU or UVU, wouldn’t youContinue reading “Internships at FamilyLink – Utah’s Fastest Growing Web Company”
SpeedRecruiting
A few years back, inspired by the book “Angel Investing,” we founded FundingUniverse.com and started holding SpeedPitching events–two hour events where about ten entrepreneurs could have a few minutes at small tables with 2-3 investors. FundingUniverse SpeedPitching events have been successfully held in six states, and are held bi-monthly in Utah. They are very affordableContinue reading “SpeedRecruiting”
Recruiting with Billboards
Several of the best Utah high-tech companies have billboards along the I-15 corridor from Provo to Salt Lake City that are focused on recruiting. I recall billboards from Omniture, Mozy, Property Solutions, The Generations Network, Orange Soda, and Doba. I’m sure there are others as well that I just don’t recall. I’m wondering if Move NetworksContinue reading “Recruiting with Billboards”

13 Days Without a Word–hey, I’m Focused
I started blogging in November 2003. I think 13 days without a post may be a record for me. (There may have been one time a couple years ago when I was switching blog platforms where I also went this long or longer without a post.)
My regular readers know how much I enjoy blogging, how I think every CEO should blog, and how much value you get when you participate in open, online conversations about all kinds of topics. So a 13-day stretch without posting indicates how incredibly busy and focused I have become recently.
To make up for the 13 days without a post, today\’s post may be my longest post ever.
And unfortunately it\’s about my current business–not about internet marketing or entrepreneurship in general. So if you only read my blog for tips for internet entrepreneurs, you may want to skip this post.
Online Sales vs Phone Sales
Tomorrow, World Vital Records will begin building its call center under our new manager Scott Spencer. He worked at MyFamily.com (now The Generations Network) from 2003-2006.
We are planning to hire 10-15 people in the next few weeks (part time and full time) to do genealogy sales, support and coaching. (If you know someone who might be interested, please use the Contact Me form on my blog, and let me know about them.)
