In 2004 we moved from the Detroit Metro area to Naples and started Naples
Network Services, LLC. Eager to put years of experience with large corporate
systems to good use, it didn't take long to get established.
In 2009 when many businesses were feeling the effects of the stock market crash,
we decided to launch a product to help others solve a problem our family had
experienced as well as to supplement our income.
In 2011 at the advice of people in the business community we took a business
management course called Fast Trac to see if it would improve our sales. We took
the advice of the program administrators (The EDC of Collier County) and applied
for the Excellence in Industry Award for Innovation. An article in the Naples Daily
News followed and our product was brought to the attention of a major well
established local company.
The result was a formal agreement with the company to distribute our product
under their own brand. They are hiring full time employees to support this portion
of their business. Additionally, they have the resources and man power to support
any size installation.
Every company we have connected with them has been impressed and can see the
greater scope of business that is possible. Our company benefits with the sale of
each unit.
It's a win /win situation for everyone involved. Customers, re- sellers, and
distributors.
The owner or top executive will be asked to give a presentation (5 minutes max) to
the Board of County Cammissioners about your business purpose and achievements.
Your business has been selected for: [Insert date]
You will contacted by Nancy or Kaitlan to review details.
