Thanks so much for the warm welcome Patty!  Piper and I really appreciate it!   See you on Facebook too!!  :)   Laura and Piper too.

Patty,

Appreciate that. I put a full court press on sales this week so I hope to have a positive story to tell you on Friday.  I'm even calling the Elanco rep for this area as Pfizer has many products for heartworms, fleas, etc.   I don't  want to step on anyone's toes so let me also give you my Email address: jswander@wthitv.com.   I was thinking that if I  was lucky enough to get their interest why not sell it as a multi-market buy?  Indy and Terre Haute!   I would appreciate any insight you can give us.  I sat the staff down this morning and force fed your very interactive website to them saying that people like to feel connect with common bonds and your site does just that!  Very friendly and easy to navigate...and I love the pics, videos and archived shows.  I'll be in contact sometime this week but we have several events in need to work around.  Thanks again Patty. I'm with you all the way!!  JIM

Looking forward to meeting you Patty.

My intent is to secure a max. of two vets, then call on manufacturers' reps. In the animal husbandry field such as Elanco, Pfizer, etc. as if would be a great fit for them as I'm sure the show will be a big hit in this market.

If you could send me a list or jot down clients or types of clients you have been successful with, I would be deeply appreciative. (jswander@wthitv.com) I've asked our sales staff to target accounts and secure meetings with them over the next two weeks.  I want this SOLD, SECURED, and ready to launch asap!

I served on both the city and county animal control commissions as we hammered out working ordinances which would be enforceable. Wow, what a trip that was! I was booted off the city commission when they discovered I was NOT technically a city resident so I migrated to the county commission. Our work is done, now it's up to enforcement.

Someone once said that I loved animals more than people. I responded that in some cases that is true; I absolutely hate ignorant pet owners almost as bad as I hate irresponsible ones! Lol

Wish us luck and feel free to give me tips on who to pitch in our market.

Cordially,

"swando"

Thank you, Patty and thanks for your comment!  I've enjoyed you over the years and love the work you are doing for pets!  I have been trying to capture Harry saying hello for a long time.  It's like he knows when I'm trying to video him and he "clams" up!  But I will certainly keep trying.  He's something else!  Take care and have a great weekend!
