“Working with Mic and Jason has been an exceptional experience. Jason’s vision and technical ability together with Mic’s vision and detail focus have both been key assets to the development of not only our web site, but now our social media business strategy. I consider Blue Gurus an integral part of our team and am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with a company that truly considers their work a passion and partnership.”

This is one of Mic’s favorite client stories…and rightfully so. One day he was reading the online edition of the Kansas City Business Journal and came across a guest blog post written by Lori Mallory, CEO of Kansas City Internal Medicine.
Mic noticed that the blog was written very well and was very informative. He also noticed that Lori’s email address was at the top of the post. So Mic sent an email to Lori complimenting her writing style and suggesting that she should be blogging regularly for her company too. The two exchanged a few more emails and then decided to meet. Mic and Lori hit it off instantly.
During the conversation, Lori mentioned that the first thing that KCIM needed was a new web site. She had a $30,000 proposal on her desk from another local company. Mic explained that Blue Gurus does WordPress web site projects ON SITE and that we would get the bulk of the work done over 5-6 half day sessions at her office for about a third of what the other company quoted her. Lori asked for a proposal and a day later we got the signed contract and dove into the project together.
Me? A blogger?
Honestly, I was skeptical. My first few posts were dry, hard to write and not very interesting, even to me. Then I had a breakthrough. I wrote about my passion for Bruce Springsteen. Very personal, very “non-banky.” The response was overwhelmingly positive.
