I agree as well, especially the part, "...We need some help here as the company grows, Larry is doing a great job in growing the company but I think he could be a one man show and could certainly use a COO. He's got to find a few people that he trust that can go out on the road and be located in different geographical regions. He's going to kill himself making these coast to coast journeys..."
He must be Superman, if he is a one man show. Trying to juggle family and the business has to be a duanting task for a human. Spreading himself too thin, may result in slower business growth. Someone (say an office clerk or manager) that can take care of paperwork while he is on the road at conferences or visiting with distributors, imo, would be great help to Larry.
The big problem is finding good people. When you hire employees, you have to be very careful in the screening process. Its hard to fine good employees. It would be nice if his employees had the same drive and be as responsive as he.
I'm still waiting and will be glad to see expansion into my area.
Sincerely,
