Dana Smith of Exalt Resources
I am not surprised that you have been chosen as a final contestant of the Big Business Contest. I have watched you grow your business over the years, and the word “excellence” comes to mind when I think of how you run your operations at Exalt Resources. The products your company offers are superb and just what the busy small business owner needs so he or she can concentrate on the big picture, rather than attempting to tackle the human resource components of operating a business. In addition your attention to customer service is unsurpassed and I have always been pleased with the services that your organization provides
Congratulations and I wish you much success

After investigating thoroughly...Exalt Resources... got my vote~

Go DANA!!

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is great news. Congratulations for getting this far and I am not surprised that Exalt Resources has been chosen to be in the finals because it is a great company that is ran by a very intelligent, more than capable, business savvy and not to mention absolutely beautiful woman which is YOU.

Here’s an easy way to show support for Lutheran Social Services! The human resources function at LSS is outsourced to Exalt Resources. While I was the interim area director, I worked very closely with Dana Smith, LSS’s account executive from Exalt. She is superb and I can vouch for the fact that she goes well above and beyond expectations to give LSS the personnel services it needs.

Dana I'm really impress with your vision. You took what appears to be a thought that occurred when you first started a business and things just did't go according to plan. Obstacles that you didn't foresee. So for you to come right back and start a business to help others overcome these obstacles is pure genius and I take my hat off to you. Julie is right you are a special person. Much love and you go babegirl !!!!!!!!!!

A great company need a great boss. To find a great boss, you need find a good person who cares the company and the people who work there. that´s JD Sullivan.

Mark Harris and the whole team at TriathlonDVD.com have put together one of the best products every made for triathlons. I have seen this company grow from just the idea. I know everyone in the video quite well and am glad to see it doing so well. Given that the average triathlete earns $146,000 a year, this market is one of the highest earning of any market out there. The wonderful part of this line is it can eventful branch out into specific sport areas, i.e. swimming, cycling, running, not to mention the growing area of adventure racing and xterra racing. This company got my vote, 100%.

As the new Area Director for Lutheran Social Services in Thousand Oaks, I have had the privilege of working closely with Dana Smith concerning several personnel issues. She has delivered quickly and thoroughly with professionalism and compassion. I am very grateful for her support and counsel to me as a manager in dealing with employees. Thank you Dana for everything you are doing with Exalt Resources! Suzie

Judi, Doris and Franklin introduced me to your business today. We frequently
have lunch together. They are so proud of you! I am praying for your success.

John "JD" Sullivan of WellMasters, Inc. is just as passionate about the AllBusiness.com, BIG Business Contest as he is about our company. JD has the most positive business attitude of anyone I've ever known. Open, honest, hands on communication not only with our 23 employees, but our customers, and vendors is definately his area of expertise. His technical knowledge of the many challenges of our Industry, as well as, his attention to detail have been paramount to our company's growth over the past 18 months.

JD's dynamic personality makes people naturally gravitate to him. After a long, HOT days work, our employees typically visit JD's office before they head home, and it's normal for one, then another, then another to congregate in his office and he always gets them laughing. It's a nice way to send them off with a positive attitude and a smile on their face.

I am Barbara Sullivan, the President of WellMasters, Inc. We are a husband and wife team. I just wanted to share how proud I am of JD for # 1, entering the BIG Business Contest to try to better our company, and # 2, his dedication and passion to improve WellMasters, Inc., for it's, employees, customers and vendors.

Congratulations to ALL of the semi-finalists. I have enjoyed learning about all of your businesses. Thank you Judges and the Sponsors for acknowledging the efforts of business owners of all sizes.

Go Voyager! The video was great. It shows your enthusiasm for your business. Hope you earn the well-deserved prize.

I am pulling for you Judi. Sure hope you are successful!

It is very gratifying to hear that WellMasters is not only interested in trying to make a profit in business but also has as its objective positive environmental issues and the state of Florida's concerns.

Al at Voyager;- If you run your business like you shoot your videos then you don't even need a business consultant! I strongly suggest exploring the movie industry!

Chris and the team at WebRoyal are not only talented at designing and programming websites, but Chris is also a branding and Internet marketing master. He has been helping me improve my website www.KarenVieira.com and market it better and business is growing by leaps and bounds.

Thanks Chris and I know you'll win!! You deserve it and I know you'll put the mentorship to good use to have a BIG BUSINESS soon. God bless.

Exalt Resources ROCKS! :)

My vote is for Gigi Hill Bags -- The two women behind this company are top-notch. The product sensational. I have represented direct selling companies for twenty years and I think this company is hot, hot, hot.

Knowing Voyager Components & seeing the type of brand the sponsors provide tells me that Al & Voyager are the prefect match for this contest. This contest is looking for a company willing to change, grow & strive for success. Voyager has all of these attributes while maintaining a great & positive attitude. The sponsors support multiple charities & promote environmental friendly institutions as does Voyager through their donations & educational tutorials to the schools as well as constant innovation to the company for a greener process. I hope Voyager recieves the attention it deserves!!!!!!!
