Admin meeting. We were going to do some budgeting but ended up getting pulled into other topics of discussion. Lots of talk about 3rd party solutions and our love/hate type relationships. Sometimes, those relationships can be challenging. We also talked about some possible rules for bigger clients and helping them get transferred over to semi-dedicated or full dedicated serves vs staying on the shared environment.

We chatted about a number of up-and-coming projects and ran through some pros and cons with each of them. A number of them are dealing with outside 3rd parties and have some good things but also have some teeth (virtually).

For outside custom work, we are heading towards full pre-payment or getting something upfront and then billing along the way. We have been skunked a few times and had to run things out to bad debt (uncollectable invoices). along those lines, permission was given to Cory to help wheel and deal as needed for certain projects.

At the end of the meeting, Steve was doing some training for Shari O. and myself on his new timeclock and timecards for our internal co-owners and what they are working on. Good meeting. I sent around notes to all of the key admin team members.
