Tony Olsens & GPS to GO

Here we see the staff at our own Tony Olsen Enterprises here in the Ottawa Valley with what looks to be the biggest GPS tracking screen I've seen at any of my customers! WOW -very nice folks -

Google Street View Snowmobile

With thanks to Navigadget - About the same time Google introduced showcased how they were taking Street View one ski further, and installing their setup on top of a snow mobile to give you street level imagery from mountain slopes.. They say they were motivated with the Winter Olympics in Canada but we all know Google’s onto something bigger. ( BTW Go Canada GOOOO!!)

GPS Gloves

Ever wondered why the heck your skiing gloves do not include a GPS receiver? I guess people at Zanier Gloves had the same question so they decided to come out with X-Plore.XGX – a pair of gloves that can keep track of your altitude, speed, distance, duration and other route data. What’s really cool is that you can even plan a route and then let the glove route you where ever you want.

GPS to GO & the Olympic Torch 2010

How cool is this ! Here we have your faithfull GPS guy Russ Salo here in the presence of one of our great Canadian Olmpic Torch Bearers along with my 7 yr old son Richard. As a member of the 104th Beaver Colony we had one of the other Beavers fathers in as a special guest -a big thank you - wayyy cool - This gent was lucky enough to carry the torch through the streets of Ottawa in the run up to the Vancouver Winter Games. The torch is beautifully made -plastic & stainless steel with the fuse -or ignition system removed after use. The torch is a few pounds and has black carbon burn marks on it from the flames- lovely!

Your Buyer in 2010

This came to me from my good friend Terry who is a business coach with Action coach



I am the first to say I hate email blast but I found this very relevant to most of us and want to share.



Jeffrey Gitomer is a well know speaker/author both in Canada and the US with anyone who does sales of any kind (business owners) and has a weekly newsletter called Sales Caffeine”.



I found his description of today’s buyer, business or consumer to be very interesting. I stole this shamelessly from his newsletter.



Let me give you the details of what the new customer (both business and consumer) looks like: (NOTE: I'm using "he" but I also mean "she.")


* He's going to decide somewhat slower. He's been hesitating for more than a year.
* He's angry about the value of his home, and the value of his investments.
* He will not be doing business the same way it's been done before.
* He will not be banking the same way he banked before.
* He will not be advertising the same way he advertised before.
* He will not be buying a car the same way he did before.
* He will not be buying a home the same way he did before.
* He will not be investing the same way he did before.
* He's online. Checking out your website - and your competitor's website.
* He's socializing. Telling everyone what's happening in his world and the world.
* He's Tweeting, Facebooking, and Linked-In-ing. Social media is still a firestorm.
* He's blogging about his experiences with you, for the world to read.
* He's YouTubing about his experiences with you for the world to watch - by the millions (any questions United Airlines?).
* He's Googling, not yellow-paging.
* He's texting. A lot.
* He's using his mobile device to do damn near everything.
* He's WiFi-ing in his hotel room, on the plane, in Starbucks, and at home.
* IF he's reading a paper, or getting the news, it's online.
* He's as likely to watch The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, or listen to Howard Stern for news as he is to watch a network "news" person read a tele-prompter.
* He's purchasing after midnight. By the billions.
* He's looking for ease of doing business with you.
* He is value oriented, but will look to price as part of the decision.
* He wants a relationship.
* He wants, needs, and expects GREAT service after the sale.
* He does not want to wait for anything or anyone.
* He needs help and expert advice.
* He's looking for ideas and answers.
* He can check your price and your facts in two seconds or less on Google.
* He knows as much about your product as you do.
* He knows MORE about your competitor's product than you do.
* He can pay right now IF you can take a credit card online.
* He expects someone to answer the phone when he calls that can actually HELP.
* He is SICK of off-shore call centers, erroneously called "help desks."
* He is SICK of you telling him how important his call is while he stands on hold.
* He is SICK of your recorded hold message.
* He demands the truth. All the time.
* He no longer trusts the institutions he used to hold sacred.
* He expects you to be as computer literate as he is.
* He needs to be understood and feel your sincere concern.
* While you are qualifying him, he is qualifying you.
* If he needs a referral or recommendation, he'll go to Craig's list or Angie's list or Google or his next door neighbor, or anyone else but you...UNLESS you have video testimonials online.

TOW Bike -with Nav & Track -

This is not a hoax -this is Canada & USA's
first & only TOW Bike -a Honda Goldwing
outfitted with a very ingenious folding-
colapsable tow mechanism.

Here we see the local operator Charles towing the GPS to GO command vehicle -we'll be on the A channel morning show Tuesday July 28th -read below more about this ultra cool motorcycle

Retriever North America is proud to introduce the Retriever is the most revolutionary advent in the recovery vehicle industry since the tow truck. It has the agility and economy of a motorcycle yet the utility of a wrecker. The Retriever folds up neatly on the back of a Honda Goldwing. It's mission it to enhance safety on our roads, relieve traffic congestion, and make our customers more money.
This double patented device is specially designed to safely tow cars just like a truck. When stowed, the device is folded together making it exceptionally agile and efficient in dense traffic. As traditional tow trucks get stuck in traffic on their way to the customer, the Retriever will smoothly cut through and gets to the scene first.
This makes the Retriever the quickest and most efficient recovery vehicle in the world! This remarkable piece of engineering comes to market after 10+ years and 6 generations of prototype development and testing. The extensive engineering effort required to achieve this remarkable technology was significant. Over the 10 years, each generation of prototype produced significant improvements in the technology with respect to payload, ride-ability, durability, and stability.
