John Davis’s Summary

I am focusing on, and I am fully committed to, full-time support of the SendOutCards business I'm building. I have assisted many people to become senders of cards. I love working with people who want to improve their relationships with friends, family and/or customers. My best clients include successful authors, ministers and other church personnel, higher education institutions, real estate brokers and agents and business owners that are committed to network marketing or enticing referrals from those they serve.

As a manager with SendOutCards, I also assist new Distributors and Retail Affiliates to be successful entrepreneurs. I continue assisting my team as they promote to evermore rewarding advancements by organizing events and helping team members to grow their organization.

In addition, I have been an active community volunteer from age eighteen to the present. During the past twenty-five years I have been a leader at the First Unitarian Universalist Church of San Diego in many capacities, including President of the Board of Trustees. I co-founded the Unitarian Universalist Men’s Fellowship and served on the continental Steering Council for the Unitarian Universalist Men’s Network. I also served the San Diego Memorial Society as a volunteer, including a year as its President. The Society promotes simple, dignified, inexpensive cremations and burials as a non-profit, non-sectarian, service organization.

John Davis’s Specialties:

Generating referrals, creating heartfelt communications that build strong bonds with people you care about, and teaching entrepreneurs to generate explosive growth of their business. I also assist people who want to earn $300 to $900 a month working no more than three to six hours a month.

John Davis’s Experience

Independent Distributor

SendOutCards.com/jkd

(Privately Held; Marketing and Advertising industry)

August 2008 — Present (1 year 4 months)

I love working with people who want to improve their relationships with friends, family and/or customers. At SendOutCards you can choose or create an awesome card, insert a message with your own handwriting and signature, click "Send" and the company prints the card, stuffs it into an envelope, adds a real stamp and mails the card for you at a small fraction of what you would spend for the same card purchased at a store.

Systems Administrator

Chandler Asset Management

(Investment Management industry)

May 1999 — October 2001 (2 years 6 months)

I assisted Chandler team members to upgrade software and the company’s computer network; integrate intelligent fax boards into their process; expand access while simplifying record keeping and storage systems; incorporate the Internet into daily operations; expand collaboration among Chandler team members; use remote virtual private network access to gain entry into company systems when employees were away from the office; create a company website; move monthly reporting from expensive print-and-mail documents to low-cost e-mail attachments; automate delivery instructions sent to brokers so they arrive within seconds of executing a security trade; embrace personal digital assistants, cell phones, home computer systems, digital cameras and laptop computers. The company saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in direct costs and the number of staff went from eight employees to six even as the assets under company management grew by hundreds of millions of dollars during my tenure.
Independent Trustee

John K. Davis, Trustee

(Internet industry)

August 1989 — April 1999 (9 years 9 months)

I invested trust assets and managed distributions of income and principal. My specialty was working with difficult beneficiaries--people with mental disorders, drug addictions, criminal records and other challenges. Living trustors were able to enjoy personal relationships with the beneficiary (often their offspring) without interjecting pleas for financial assistance into the dynamic of the connection. At the same time, I was able to assert a mature and firm influence to structure and stabilize the beneficiary’s behavior. For decedent trustors I often became a surrogate overseer for the beneficiary. In other situations I distributed trust assets to charitable organizations and insured that the trustor’s wishes were followed.
