"Grandview "
My second trip to Springfield from Bozeman to work our direct sales initiative had been quite successful as well. We were now definitely considering moving our family back to Springfield to work the business more aggressively.
I was on my way back to Bozeman heading north on Highway 71 coming up on the south side of Kansas City. My thinking about several issues that had come up concerning the direct sales company’s marketing plan subsequently tripped my thoughts of the “Big Event”. I was considering how direct sales could be part of a solution to help minimize the casualties and thinking about the possibilities of another type of marketing plan that could work.
Like lightning, an idea hit me, and I instantly saw the solution and what to call it. ShareValue was the name, and its marketing plan was the answer I had been looking for since I was 19-years old.
ShareValue would be a direct sales company that would inspire and reward individuals and communities with the ability to prepare food stocks for times of need such as in the time of “The Big Event”.
I was so shaken up over it that I pulled off the road. I thought on it for a few minutes and then started to look around to see where I was, as I wanted to remember where I was when this idea came to me. The highway off-ramp sign next to me read “City of Grandview”, and indeed it was a “grand-view” of what could be done.
