Virtual Planet is expanding operations.

The Virtual Garden Route site is growing and we decided to assist the Virtual Western Cape franchise as there is a lot of opportunities for the 2010 FIFA World Cup for affordable accommodation and affordable property. There is so much scope for Hotels, Guesthouses, B & B, Selfcatering accommodation, private properties to be rented or leased out for the 2010 FIFA World Cup that we had to interview and get people to work in that region. We identified and interviewed two great candidates out of a horde of applications. I had interviews in the Mother City and was extremely happy with Maria and hope that she will head up the ship for Virtual Planet in the Virtual Western Cape and Virtual West Coast regions. Good Luck Maria you have all our support.

2009 starts with a bang.

So we had a lot of hick-ups with our start up of the Virtual Garden Route franchise, but things are looking up. We had our dissapointments with the consultants and it took and unfortunate incident and a reduction of one of our consultants still on a basic salary, to get things on track. Lorraine Gerber is the only consultant left that I have any obligation with. She shows a lot of promise. With a rude awakening she took on Outdshoorn and signed 12 clients within a month, well done Lorraine. She focused on Guesthouses and B & B establishments. She even got a farm on board and a Art gallery. Thus our client base in the Garden Route is growing.

Heroldsbay Festival 2008

We had a very exiting time at the 2008 Heroldsbay Festival. Our Logo and Brand name got a lot of exposure. The team spent a lot of time promoting, accomodation, B & B, Guesthouses, Hotels and private home sales. Especially with the 2010 FIFA World Cup around the corner a lot of focus was spent on getting new clients to sign on. The weather was great and we sponsored all the sporting events. the players looked smart in our branded T-shirts with the Virtual Planet logo on. Once again to my team, Thank you for your hard work.

"Heroldsbay Festival" come join the fun.

Come join us for Virtual Planet Beach Soccer, Virtual Planet Touch Rugby, Virtual Planet Beach Volley Ball and other great events. The festival is running from the 17th December to the 20th December and it promises to be some scorching hot action. Come check out the Virtual Planet team and join the fun.

November 2008

So Tamara is with us full time and into the thick of things. She employed a great team and I am looking forward to work with them all for a long time. Nicoleen is of to a shaky start as she disapeared to Johanesburg in her second month and I was dissapointed as it seems that I pay people and they just do not deserve the pay as no clients signed on through them. Do I have to become a Bastard and pay people minumum wages or better yet just pay them commision no risk to me or the company. Do these people not realize that there is people depending on them, or that they are the cause that people do not pay decent wages in "The Garden Route". Here I am offering a decent package with benefits, flexi-time and what have you and I get screwed over. Thus I have decided that Japie Leeuwner is 100% correct in paying on a strictly commision only basis. The girls working for me now Desiree and Lorraine is the last of the ones that I made my promises to and I will honour all my promises, the rest is going to be a different kettle of fish.

Burglers strike at our office.

On Friday evening November 7th our office got broken into and 4 of our Laptops got stolen. As usuall the police was incompetent and we are still waiting for the inspector to show up 18 days later. Hope none of you ever have to rely on Inspector Plaatjies from George SAPD to assist you in times of great need. Well we took things into our own hands and issued a R10 000 reward leading to the recovery of our equipment. This was a minor setback for our operation and things got back to normal a week later. We lost all of our files and company client history, but my family was not harmed. The robbers would have unleashed a beast of a different nature, if they have harmed my wife and two kids. The streets of George would never hav been safe again, I would have hunted them down and eventually I would have gotten the right one's that broke in and harmed my family. I still have a score to settle when I get home.......

October 2008

So here we were in our second month of trading, we landed San Marco Tile Center in Mosselbay and George as clients. We also managed to get our first Developers on Board, Num-Num Eco Estates. Go to www.virtualgardenroute.co.za to view how we are marketing our new clients.
Tamara started working for us half day to ease out of her obligation to Le Grand Estate and we employed Nicoleen Snyman. Stiffeney Knell decided that her personal life is interfering to much and on mutual agreement her employ was terminated. So the start is still slow, but the sites is looking better by the day. We are up to 12 Franchises developed.
