The purpose of the new facility is to focus on building and maintaining key business-to-business sales relationships necessary to position Anything Internet as a premier Internet provider of goods and services to businesses worldwide. According to International Data Corporation, a market research firm, Internet related business-to-business sales are expected to eclipse consumer spending by accounting for up to 80% of all Internet e-commerce transactions by the year 2001. Forrester Research, another market research firm, predicts total Internet e-commerce will top $1.3 trillion annually by the year 2003. The new business-to-business sales and support office is headed by the Company's new General Manager, Richard Baron. Also joining Mr. Baron is Al Delisle, Anything Internet's co-founder, Business Development Manager and a Company Director. Mr. Baron was previously a Senior Sales Representative at Tech Data Corporation (NASDAQ: TECD), a full-line distributor of technology products worldwide with annual sales of approximately $11.5 billion. At Tech Data Mr. Baron was responsible for generating sales to value added resellers (VARs) and dealers in excess of $100 million annually. He also won Tech Data's coveted President's Club Award twice during his eight year tenure. Mr. Delisle stated, "It is our intention to utilize and build upon our relationships with various vendors and Fortune 500 companies to generate new corporate buyers who will eventually become regular repeat buyers of our products. There are countless businesses out there looking to move their monthly purchases over to the Internet. We are going to help them make that transition as painless as possible, and by doing so gain some quality repeat customers at the same time." J. Scott Sitra, Anything Internet's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are very excited by the opening of our new business-to-business sales and support office in Florida which underscores our commitment to being a leader in Internet business-to-business sales. We are very aggressively pursuing this avenue of new sales and will continue to devote the necessary resources to fully capitalize on this fledgling aspect of Internet e-commerce." "In just the short amount of time the new office has been open, both Al and Rich have demonstrated tremendous capabilities and dedication to the Company. Their contacts and understanding of the corporate buyer is already proving to be an invaluable resource to us as we move forward into the future," Mr. Sitra added.
