Local Eye Site became my full time passion in April of this year. I founded this company with the mission of improving the quality of eye care through enhancing communication, increasing educational opportunities, and fostering professional development in eye care. The response has been more than we dreamed at this early stage. In the first four months, LES has attracted roughly 7,000 visits with about 2,200 of those by unique visitors. Of those 2,200 visitors, almost 500 of these eye care professionals have registered to the Local Eye Site community database.
One of the most significant catalyst for the LES growth has been the blessing of two fantastic new team members. Lee Ann Harrison and Nicole Papworth-Jones joined the LES team in the last couple of months. Lee Ann is a Regional Sales Manager, and Nicole has assumed some important LES Sales & Marketing projects. Lee Ann and I have worked together in two previous jobs, so I knew how effective she would be. I met Nicole while making a presentation to the Duke University Ophthalmic Technician Training Program. Nicole completed the COT program at Duke, but has been with Local Eye Site ever since.
This dynamic team has produced so much activity (20 new customers in NC, SC and GA) that we’ve decided to take it up a notch, and expand the scope of our markeing efforts across most of the Southeast. Although our database of “job seekers,” or eye care professionals is National already, our customer base is currently predominately in NC, with a couple of accounts SC and GA. We plan to change that soon.
So, look out VA, SC, GA, TN and FL eye care professionals, the LES team is headed your way. We look forward to seeing you too join the Local Eye Site community, and you can look forward to an experience like Tara from Charlotte Eye, Ear, Nose & Throat:
“Since 1923, Charlotte Eye Ear Nose and Throat, Associates (CEENTA) has strived to meet the increasing ophthalmology and otolaryngology healthcare needs of the population. By partnering with Local Eye Site (LES), we hope to continue to provide opportunities for regional ophthalmology professionals to receive continuing education opportunities to meet the rising eye care needs of the aging population. Since joining together with Brad McCorkle and the staff of Local Eye Site, we have been so impressed with their dedication to providing a professional and informative site to meet the needs of eye staff in the area. Within just hours of posting a new opening we were thrilled to locate a possible candidate. Thanks Brad; we look forward to a long relationship as we anticipate the rapid growth of LES.
Look out Southeast…here we come!
