Wow I must say, what you’ve accomplished sounds very impressive.

Also, thanks so much for the financial support, I really appreciate that!

Yeah AI is just becoming better and better by the day, I haven’t used Base 44 at all, I prefer to do this in an IDE and/or the Terminal, but those types of apps are great for starting a project.

I tried accessing the website, but it doesn’t seem to work.

I have never been a coder, I always found it to hard, so instead I went
and Built the Businesses instead and the first soft7ware I designed was called
“TeleBlitz” and the code was called “DataFlex” and it was an automatic Booking, Accounting, Job, Quality Call CRM
software for my pest control business.

I had 18 Sales Ladies, i would write their telescript, and bought auto dialers, so they just pushed a button and the dialer would dial their phone. It would auto Dial every person in a house in my local suburb, for the whole of Brisbane Queensland tens of thousands of people and my sales girls would chat to customer, sell a job,
My Phone Bill for my first year was just over AUD $45,000
then they could use the sames software to book and enter A Pest Control Service,
slot it into the booking table, price, times description etc.
Then it would print the jobs out for each of the 7 technicians in order of time,
then once the job was done,
the same software allowed my account girls to go back to same job, mark it as completed,
enter in the amount paid, and any up-sell amount,
then it would slot that job in to the Quality Control Queue ready for the Customers Quality Control Call in 24 hours.
After that is would also Book that Customer in to the rest of the Years 3 quality Control calls, at every 3 months.

Then it would become my accounting software, because all the data it tracked in real time, was always then passed through to my own office, so i never had to leave my office when I wanted to know how much work we had on, who was selling, how the technicians were going, quality control feedback,

To run that software I had bought 10 x 286 Computers one for each Of the sales ladies and Office manager and One 486DX for myself to hold the data.

And that was my first Software Program and it did a great job, it was so successful, at keeping my numbers correct it helped us Win Two First Place Business Awards, except the only problem I had, is I just wish these Coders would do what we ask them to do, because I had to sack the first coder because he was really unprofessional, late, missed deadlines, brought his girlfriend to work, and it was the right call, because i ended up with a much smarter, more disciplined coder the next time.

I mean those computers cost me a small fortune about $25,000 and they were so slow to be honest compared today, it was the early 1990’s just as the internet was starting, and pc’s were beginning to become more common, still basic, but they got me started and they did the job.

I have to admit to you, for me personally that was a huge job to to design, think about, fix bugs, make sure the features and benefits worked well together because I had never been involved in software before that.

I got told later by one of the Business Award Judges, that the Computer Software Manual I had written, and Printed Manually, in Full Colour on Two – 6 Colour 1200DPI Epson High Res Printers took two long weeks of Big days and nights just to print, was the best he had seen and he had never even heard of or seen a pest control company having or using something like this.
He asked if he could keep it.:

(side note: so i gave it to him, and to my surprise, he came back to me about one year later and asked me with his Partner if I would design their new companies branding, logo, marketing, promo materials etc and I accepted. But I told him i am no expert, just a wanne be that enjoys it, but he would not take no for no answer.
He then asked me to design and write his Business Awards Entry into the Self Storage Australasian Business Awards, Aussie and NZ, and I love design work, I’m just no good at it.
Anyway short story, they went down to Melbourne for the big awards nite, 1000+ business people, and when they got back a couple of days later, they called me to share, that they had taken out Winners First Place for the Brisbane Company, 400 units, in their very First Year of that company and it must of been one of those lucky days, I also Won First Place for the Best Business Presentation )

Sorry I don’t mean to blow my own horn, forgive me, I just wanted to make the point that when yr in business you have to be in marketing mode 100% of the time because you just never know.

I never did design another software, as I loved the business side too much and preferred to build and sell companies instead and went on to build 8 of them sold 5, won 7/7 first Place bus awards, It’s amazing none of them went broke to be honest, came close a few times.

That was until two weeks ago,
Until two weeks ago I tried that Base 44 out, AI Coding out and I was absolutely amazed in the space of a few hrs I designed and built a Stock Program, that is Live, i also got it to build me a Stock Portfolio feature, whereby if I put in my personal and business interests in, it will design and pick me a stock portfolio centred around those likes of mine.
It also has Live Financials News. Graphs, Updates alerts,
I have called that Product and it’s website:- http://www.FIN.ooo, (Financial Investment Numbers) i just have to put it up now.

So i am really enjoying it after decades of being to scared to try.
thanks sorry this got really long.
I ‘m off like the wind see ya, thanks again.
