21:33.09 | feutetejsd | cool |
21:33.13 | feutetejsd | brb for reals now |
21:46.48 | feutetejsd | back |
21:48.19 | feutetejsd | what kind of company is doba? |
22:00.09 | wps | as in atmostphere or what we actually do? |
22:07.19 | feutetejsd | what you dfo |
22:07.22 | feutetejsd | -f |
22:07.26 | feutetejsd | both, i guess |
22:07.46 | wps | product sourcing |
22:07.55 | wps | we connect small businesses with products to sell |
22:08.37 | feutetejsd | i see |
22:08.40 | wps | entrepreneurs (generally web stores and eBay, but some brick-and-mortor) with distributors |
22:08.52 | wps | the drop shipping industry |
22:08.58 | feutetejsd | ah |
22:09.01 | wps | we don't do drop shipping though, we help people to do it |
22:09.04 | wps | we are a middle man |
22:09.34 | feutetejsd | i've seen several billboards along I-15...I guess business is good? |
22:09.35 | wps | we have created a large web application that allows people to maintain virtual inventories and warehouses |
22:09.41 | wps | yes, those are ours |
22:09.45 | wps | yes, business is very good |
22:09.48 | feutetejsd | cool |
22:10.16 | wps | the biggest hurdle for starting a business is overhead and inventory, so eliminate both |
22:11.05 | wps | s/so/we |
22:11.26 | feutetejsd | very nice |
22:12.25 | wps | you think he'll be interested? |
22:13.03 | feutetejsd | possibly....he has a lot of experience in design, although it's more in print than interactive/web |
22:13.23 | wps | that's fine |
22:13.58 | wps | if he has the skills then web specifics can be taught |
22:14.16 | feutetejsd | he is actually learning a bit about the web already...slowly but surely |
22:14.18 | wps | we do print, dimensional, environmental, and identity work too |
22:14.20 | feutetejsd | I'm working on him |
22:15.17 | feutetejsd | a lot of his experience is in corporate branding on many fronts |
22:18.03 | wps | well, I'd love to meet him and see his work |
22:19.12 | feutetejsd | he's currently employed but not doing as much design as he'd like...I know salary is a big deal for him. Do you know anything about the salary range? the page you linked me to was just benefits |
22:19.47 | feutetejsd | or, is it dependent on qualifications, etc? |
22:34.00 | wps | dependent a little |
22:34.08 | wps | probably not more than $40,000 |
22:34.16 | wps | we're looking for a designer, not a senior design |
22:34.30 | wps | s/design/designer |
22:34.33 | feutetejsd | ah....he's more looking for senior deisgner type position |
22:35.22 | wps | if he's got the stuff though, we it might be an option |
22:35.52 | feutetejsd | ok, I'll let him know |
22:35.54 | feutetejsd | thanks man |
