Mead Rose

COO and internet marketing expert:

Trained as a health care practitioner and a musician, Mead undertook vocational training in computers in the late 80’s. This led to employment as a telephone software technical support person (DOS, Windows) for several companies in the 1990’s (Selective Software, Smart PC, Mindware and Xerox DMS Division). Eventually he  managed a call center and advised management of emerging customer trends (before such jobs got shipped to India). His skillsets as a database administrator and list manager within the catalog marketing business provide him with "old school" marketing distinctions the newer marketers have yet to learn.

He wrote his first HTML in 1997 at the request of an employer at the time and began experimenting with my personal websites.

He hand-coded his first professional quality site in 2002 in exchange for Chiropractic services. Two important events followed: He met Steve Scheinberg of Front End Tech, who taught him Search Engine Optimization and a naturopath invited him to become her business partner in order to handle the technical details of business development through an internet marketing based on Tom Antion's E-Book Internet Marketing Plan.

He continued working with her when we took the Internet Marketing Secrets course offered by Tom's now-deceased mentor, Corey Rudl.  He also had the good fortune to meet and start working with Jessie Brader, who was personally acquainted with several of his mentors and an Internet Marketing expert in her own right.

In early 2008 he took the most up-to-date Internet Marketing course, SMARTS (Social Marketing Traffic Strategy) and have been integrating and building on what he learned since.

Working with small businesses for the past 10 years to develop web presence he realized that small business owners had a pressing interest in moving their marketing dollars to the internet but had little to no time nor interest in learning the many interlinked skill sets required to do this successfully.
