A couple of the guys joined the morning meeting. The general topic was sales. We had Steve, Sean, Eric, and myself on the meeting. Steve is really trying to get the sales engine started up and going. We have a bunch of things circling around, just need some of those things to fall into place.

We talked about using Chuck in sales and redesigns of certain pages and flow. Eric brought up the need to convert some of our Flash modules into HTML5 or JavaScript. We know about that, but still haven't figured out what to do there. There is a constant need for more refinement and development.

As a company, we give a lot away for free. It could be consulting, custom code, design work, training, systems, upgrades, server stuff, or whatever. If that starts becoming required (meaning our clients expect those handouts), we end up losing the battle. We have to charge for our time and efforts. I am as guilty as anyone else. I love to see things happen, I'm not really good at numbers and business decisions. Eventually, we have to bring in more money than we are spending and burning. The old earn and burn ratio. It's part of business.

I think that both Steve and I really need some help, it's a hard burden to bear.

Wayne came on right around 10 am. We spent the next 30 minutes going over a bunch of things with Wayne. He is taking the servers to the whole next level. He is doing a great job. We went over some of his new fusion reactor stuff (adobe coldfusion monitoring), pingdom (web stats company), tracking server errors, code debugging, and talking about billing and support from our hosting companies.

We got into some discussions on ColdFusion mappings to help with revolving paths and variables in those path structures. We may end up looking more into this.

Finally, we had a small discussion about taking time for self and family. Important things.
