Tue, feb 3, 2015 at 4:46 pm danny peykoff changes the meeting time to 4pm, my team and i accommodate.
Here it pains me to have to delve into deeper facts about dylan because dylan was such as great guy but the absolute worst marketing director we have ever worked with; dylan was completely, inept, unprofessional and unorganized. Sometimes it would take several days to get an email response from dylan spenser and sometime he would not even reply at all, even when we would send several emails requesting critical information that we needed in order to complete the website design project with the requested expedited timeline. In fact, to this date we have over 19 unanswered email requesting critical informations such as product names, skews, descriptions, etc... To both dylan spencer and adam mirkovich without response. The ineptitude of the space jam employees made it nearly impossible to hit any deadlines as not a single person within the space jam juice organization cared about the new initiatives; really sad actually.
4pm friday february 13th, 2016. Inital meeting with space jam juice ceo danny paykoff and space jam juice cfo mike crawford, another space jam juice owner aaron pederson steps in the meeting briefly to introduce himself and space jam juice marketing director dylan spencer. The meeting went well, they all request a detailed quote and request an 2nd meeting to discuss an e-commerce solution to sell directly to the public; the ceo danny paykoff even went on to tell me about how selling to wholesale to their large retail store base has a limited margin and that creating an online store for direct purchase would almost double their margin and screw over the retail outlets, he didnt even seem to care.
Danny emails me at fri, feb 13, 2015 at 4:22 pm asking what the cost would be to expedite the onstire store development and schedule.
Sat, feb 14, 2015 at 4:58 pm an email with the requested timeline is emailed to danny paykoff and mike crawford
