After doing business consulting and a variety of jobs since 1979, a few months ago I started focusing on starting our Small Business Chamber of Commerce. I've had experience in nearly every industry. I owned and operated Wren Marketing, one of the first one-to-one marketing agencies from 1979 (after I was with the Bell system, when we coined the term telemarketing and I was the founding president of the Rocky Mountain Direct Marketing Association) until 1985 (when I went to work for the Denver Symphony as Director of Marketing--we had more sell outs than ever before or since, our secret sauce was a highly effective telemarketing center) MORE ABOUT ME AND THE WORK I'VE DONE ON LINKED IN, see www.linkedin.com/in/johnswren/

Greatness can be the common life well lived, doing the ordinary, small things with great care, as spiritual exercises, doing them for the greater glory of God.

Alphonsus Rodriguez's father died when he was 14, he left school to help with the family business. His young wife died in childbirth, his mother and son a short time later. His business failed. He applied to be admitted to the Jesuit order, but was turned down because of lack of education. He went back to school.  In 1571, the Jesuits accepted him as a lay brother. He was sent to Montesione College on Majorca. He served as doorkeeper for forty-five years. He greeted each person as if he were meeting Jesus, he'd say as he went to the door, "I'm coming Lord."  He had a profound effect on the people who knew him, especially those who knew him at the end of his life when he was plagued with very poor health until he died October 30, 1689.  His canonization took place on January 15, 1888.

Gerard Manley Hopkins  

St. Alphonsus Rodriguez
Lay brother of the Society of Jesus


HONOUR is flashed off exploit, so we say;
And those strokes once that gashed flesh or galled shield
Should tongue that time now, trumpet now that field,
And, on the fighter, forge his glorious day.
On Christ they do and on the martyr may;      
But be the war within, the brand we wield
Unseen, the heroic breast not outward-steeled,
Earth hears no hurtle then from fiercest fray.

  Yet God (that hews mountain and continent,
Earth, all, out; who, with trickling increment,      
Veins violets and tall trees makes more and more)
Could crowd career with conquest while there went
Those years and years by of world without event
That in Majorca Alfonso watched the door.

Need new clients?

Have phone--Will Travel (but its usually not necessary.)

If you just need one or two new client, or if you need hundreds or thousands, I can help you.

I was with the Bell system when we coin the term telemarketing, we spent millions of dollars advertising the term to differentiate from "telephone sale", which at the time was the most hated word in the English language, my being the founding President of the Rocky Mountain Direct Marketing Association was part of that effort, then Judge Green broke up the Bell system, and nearly everyone forgot the very real difference between telephone sales and the then new telemarketing, based in part on Bell Labs research.

But I haven't forgotten.

If you need and want new customers, give me a call between 9:30 and 11 am Monday thru Friday, I'll pick up or get back to you in just a few minutes.

Mark your calendar right now, then call and let's talk. Let's not miss this opportunity to work together to help you help more people. Call 303-861-1447 from 9:30 to 11 am Monday thru Friday.

 Today is the feast day of Saint Joseph the Worker, instituted by Pope Pius XII on May 1, 1955  as an alternative to the Communist May Day marches.  Today is also the Victims of Communism Day. For more click here.  In the video about Fr. Martin, who from time to time posts a question for us in our online faith sharing group click here explains how St. Joseph can be useful to us all as a role model.

Please pray that I can finish the work that was begun with Fr Steve and Fr Vince at Sacred Heart Jesuit Retreat House here in Colorado, inspired in prayer this morning, that our Small Business Chamber of Commerce be of real service to local chambers of commerce and local community news papers across Colorado, the USA and the world in their efforts to strengthen the grassroots civic participation, traditional families, neighborhoods, and life. Planted by Christ in my heart that first morning, nourished with my confirmation there with Fr Chamberlain from Mother of God parish here in Denver, and with Fr Martin over these last four yearshttp://Facebook.com/groups/Jesuit.Guide.Group Dedicated to Pope Francis, St Ignatius, and St Joseph on the feast of St Joseph, May 1, 2013.
