The other day I had a pleasure of sitting down with the VP of sales of Correlsense John Reuben. Besides being the head sales guy for a High Tech startup which John has seen years of success and is amazing at. What John has done is he has started a non profit called Saving Teens.
What inspired John to want to do this was the passing of his son Michael who passed away at a young age due to addiction. Well every once in a while John decides to run a marathon to help raise money for this great cause. John has started a blog which he talks about his activities in preparing for the marathon and then his goals for the amount of money he is trying to raise. John saw some opportunities as he would say in “Tweeter” being a potential source to reach out to more people to support this great cause of his. We were happy to help educate John and give him the tools to help him reach his goal. Since the launch of his Twitter account, which has been growing quite fast with a following. John has seen a few thousand dollars come in. We were greatly humbled to hear the results John was getting and his new found passion for tweeting. We wish John the best of luck in reaching his goals and completing the marathon!
