We have some very serious experience.
Podomani people have worked on major league design and software projects with Fortune 500 companies to mid-size and small organizations. We have over 50 years of combined experience with web marketing, design and development.
We have no sales people.
Never had them, never will. Call us. The person who answers the phone is the person who can help you. You'll never hear the dreaded " Well, I don't really know how to do that, so I'll have to talk to someone who does and get back to you..."
We are not the biggest.
And we don't want to be. The internet moves too fast for bureaucracy and to have to wait for decisions from the collective. We intend to stay agile and responsive.
Meetings need a purpose.
Don't get us wrong. We love short, productive, positive and encouraging meetings that get us all fired up. But poorly managed meetings can easily become time-sucking, soul-killing exercises in futility that resembles something out of the movie Office Space. We're sure you don't want to go there, and neither do we.
Some things we don't do:
We don't fix computers. We don't provide internet access. We don't do print. We don't try to be all things to all people. That "we do it all" philosophy you see at other firms merely makes them a jack-of-all-trades, master of none. We started Podomani to remain focused in helping you get results from your website and New Media.
We should mention we do eat Sushi and we are big fans of spicy Thai food.
We've got just one award.
And we could care less about ever getting another one. What does Podomani getting an award do for you? Nothing. If you see a firm bragging about awards, you can bet they spend a great deal of time (and money - probably yours) trying to get them.
Ask yourself: Who gives out these awards? Are they associated with the firm? Are their goals anywhere near yours? We don't need acceptance from our peers - our work gets that everyday. We're here to get you the accolades, the awards and most importantly - the results for your bottom line.
When our customers tell us about all the new business they are getting from the web and how their business is improving... that's exciting! We get way more of a thrill being part of your success than anything.
Our Proposals are simple and make sense.
Does a proposal really need to be a small novel, filled with buzzwords, platitudes and footnotes? No. It needs to tell you what we can do for you and your customer and what that will cost. Our agreements with you are short, to the point and can be read without paying attorney's fees.
We've also found in our years of experience that the size of a Request For Proposal (RFP) is directly proportional to the size of the bureaucracy it came from. We have also learned the larger the RFP, the more time we will spend on it and the less likely the selection of the vendor has anything to do with who is the best fit for the job.
Bottom line: The larger the RFP, the more likely we are to place it directly into our circular file.
We are not the cheapest.
We are not the most expensive either. But you can't buy a Maserati from Wal-Mart and you can't get a quality website with the new media exposure that Podomani can deliver from a firm that does not specialize in results as we do.
