However, the following challenges exist: 1. The client's store (shopping cart) is utilizing the Magento Ecommerce Platform. 2. Corporate Headquartered in Los Angeles, California presents a "West Coast - East Coast" scheduling issue at times. This is actually the first time this year that we were unable to "physically" meet with the client in person for an initial project "kick-off" meeting. 3. Having never worked in the over-sized and overweight permit industry, both the client and our staff needed some additional time to educate BPAAC on the extremely complex challenges and nuances that are involved in their business. Both BPAAC and WCS Permits are pleased to say that these challenges have proved to be very minor and that the project is off to a great start! As WCS's Director of Marketing recently stated: "So far we are extremely pleased with all of BPAAC's efforts. After interviewing countless potential SEO providers and receiving numerous proposals, we found that BPAAC brought a unique style and extremely talented team to be our partner instead of simply our vendor." Additionally, owner Wes Mollno shared that he was "impressed with both BPAAC's talent and professionalism". Need Some Internet Marketing Assistance?
