From concept to launch, it took nearly a year \u2013 with 15,000 hours alone devoted to development.<\/p>\n<p>During development, we kept the conversations rolling, asking numerous distributors to take ESP Websites for a test drive. The execs at Top 40 distributor Brown &amp; Bigelow were so impressed the company is now offering it to their top performing salespeople. Here\u2019s what William D. Smith, Jr., the company\u2019s executive vice president, had to say:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re excited ASI has created a state-of-the-art solution that provides our salespeople with a professional, functional and personal web presence. The functionality addresses the needs of tech savvy clients and sales people, with social media links, virtual sample creation, artwork transfers, shopping cart and payment processing. From a corporate perspective, we appreciate that one administrator can easily update editorial content and merchandise on all of the sites, eliminating the need for each salesperson to focus on these tasks. This is an amazing solution we\u2019re proud to offer our team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a stamp of approval goes, it doesn\u2019t get much better than that.<\/p>\n<p>To upgrade, visit www.asicentral.com\/ESPwebsites or call ASI support at 1 (800) 546-1350.
