20 under 40 headshot - 2013At the end of last month, the SMS Masterminds hit a milestone we were told was impossible: we reached our millionth customer. It’s because of all of the hard working and dedicated people we have behind us, and it’s a big deal.

I can remember when we started in 2009 when people would argue that nobody would allow businesses to send messages to their mobile phones. I guess we answered that objection!

With 55 active markets nationally everywhere from California to New York, our certified ‘Masterminds’ are giving local businesses access to ‘smart’ technology and full campaign management to help them identify and connect with their customers, the way they want to be communicated with, via text message.

We have a strong team and loyal clients, and without them we would not have the great success we’ve had. This is just the beginning. We’ve got more positive momentum and a better market than we’ve ever had before. We’re not your average company, and I think that’s one of our best attributes. Everyone on our team is unique and brings different strengths to the table.

We are obsessed with ensuring our ‘Masterminds’ and local merchants have a great experience. I’m tired of being disappointed with poor quality products, or services that sound good on paper but are too challenging to implement. There is a market for a premium level provider, and it feels good to play in that space. We’re grateful to our wonderful contributors like Jeffrey Gitomer, because with their help we’ve been able to take our service to the next level.

To my loyal clients who’ve helped get us here, and our newbies who will be part of the next million subscribers, I feel privileged to build such a great business with you.
