"Work satisfaction and synergy between our team members is better than I ever imagined possible, and productivity has skyrocketed."

Todd Grannis, CEO visp.net

Visp.net is a wholesale Internet Service Provider that helps non-profit and for-profit organizations provide Internet services to their customers and employees much more efficiently than they can on their own. We’ve won numerous awards including the RCC-SBDC Business of the Year and listed as one of Oregon’s 100 Fastest Growing Private Companies (2004 & 2005).

Since the collapse of technology stocks in 2001 our industry has become very competitive, and one of our strategies to thrive in this changing market-space has been to invest heavily in our staff.

We’ve attended dozens of seminars from great companies like Fred Prior, National Seminars Group, and Career Track and generally have been pleased with the results. We have a tradition to “cement the learning”: the staff member who has attended shares a synopsis of what they learned at a company meeting, and then they rate the seminar on a scale from 1 to 10. Scores typically range from about 4 to 9.

In November, 2003 I attended PES and returned with a raving report. With a little encouragement I convinced two brave souls to attend PES, and the results were amazing. I asked for feedback and a score and heard a resounding, "Spectacular!...10, or 13... off the chart!"

Our entire staff has since completed or is currently completing all Wings’ core seminars. Work satisfaction and synergy between our team members is better than I ever imagined possible, and productivity has skyrocketed.

We are eager to support this work, so visp.net has created WingsSpan.com, an Internet service with a mission and profits that help disadvantaged adults and teens to attend Wings Seminars. The Internet service provides the highest quality dialup, DSL & hosting services for $20.00 a month, and $60 per year from every account supports the Wings Scholarship Fund and positive change in the world. We hope you’ll join WingsSpan.com and help spread the love!
