05. Recommenders

To reach as many potential customers as possible we created a website, Shop the Frontier, which offered hundreds of items for sale. The website required constant maintenance and updates to products. In 2005 I hired Arista to manage it. With little training but a lot of gumption Arista jumped in with both feet, calmly finding herself training and learning as she went. Nothing rattled her; not the complicated commerce section of the website nor the constant demands of the entrepreneurs who required constant coaching to ensure their products got the best possible exposure. Arista’s job also included marketing efforts ranging from Google advertising to attendance at arts events around Washington State. She was always prepared, always professional, and always reliable. Arista is a great team player but she also works well on her own. To this day she is good friends with the other staff she worked with at Stone Soup which speaks volumes about how her work and work ethics were respected by others.
