Welcome ShreveCEO!
Monday, Aug 30, 2010 2:38pm
The Chief Executives' Organization of Shreveport-Bossier, commonly known as CEO, was founded in 1982 with the purpose of identifying the area's most reputable and trusted businesses, and providing a platform for them to do business with each other. With over 70 members, CEO is a diverse group representing over 70 separate industries which covers a lot of ground.
CEO had issues with their old website and Bandwise came to the rescue with an affordable site in a hurry. Now CEO administrators maintain nearly all aspects of their new website including business listings and even a "logo rotator" for featured businesses.
CEO President Jerry Frentress says, "Allen and Bandwise deliver! I'm the president of a large leads group and like many others, we needed help with our website. Allen seems to always
"over deliver" and creates client "loyalty". I know because I have used him
before. He and his team are excellent and client focused.
You may visit www.shreveceo.com to learn more about the organization and its members. If you are in need of a new product or service, the member list is a good place to find good reputable businesses in our area. It has been a true pleasure to serve the members of ShreveCEO!
