Notes:

Small little sales meeting this morning. I started out and was pitching some ideas for selling our services (and backend application) as part of the adilas marketplace. We have so much to offer. We could sell products, services, events, bookings, registrations, etc. We talked a bunch about the need for easy merchant processing and I was pitching ideas about what if adilas was able to do an eBay or amazon level market where we could help sell goods and services for others.

We could setup one special merchant account (a whole other business or part of a business) and then allow our clients to use that global merchant account. Not directly, but through our adilas marketplace. Everything would have to be tracked through the marketplace. Basically, end up being the marketplace for them (like eBay or Amazon). We would call it the adilas marketplace or whatever else we decide. All of the monies would go into the adilas marketplace account and then we would redistribute those monies and funds to the correct places (corporations or businesses that use our marketplace). We could flag and tag and track all of those sales and transactions. Piece of cake.

We could either charge them to be part of the marketplace or charge a small service fee to help make everything flow well together. We are really good at tracking things and being able to fully show all of the details. I think that we could totally do it, I'm just not sure if we are ready for that step or not. Anyways, I spent over half an hour with the guys drawing, pitching things, and letting them ask questions. Steve liked some of the ideas and said that we would need to really think through things a little bit deeper. I agree, but it does have potential. Later in the meeting, he also mentioned that maybe we could use Expo or something like that as an intermediate or intermediator type company. They could handle all of the merchant processing and/or clearing of accounts and funds and we could be the software side of things. Some good ideas. Steve said that he would talk with Mike about some possible options.

There was also some consideration given to being able to quickly have each merchant setup their own merchant account (quickly) and then we wouldn't have to deal with all of the liabilities. We just need a way to figure out how to check all of the boxes. We already offer corporation specific systems, multi-locations, multi-tenant applications, ecommerce, merchant processing, photo galleries, paperwork, forms, web pages, etc. A quick marketplace would just be another checkbox that we could check off and offer the full roundtrip service package.

More research is required, but it was some fun ideas and discussions. After I finished, the other guys did their daily check-in stuff. We also got into conversations about site translations and translators, into different languages. The other topic of discussion was dealing with other possible companies to get involved with to create a cyntergy on pushing our products and services. Sharing and dividing the load a bit.
