I had drinks with The Juice this weekend!  Now 30 years ago if I said that people would think football, and one of the greatest running backs of all time, OJ (Juice) Simpson. That was a long time ago, way before Al Gore invented the Internet.

Today when you mention The Juice, I think Jim Cronin of The Real Estate Tomato. The guy delivering Juicy News For Online Realtors.

Jim is the first ActiveRain member I've actually met in person. After reading many of his posts in The Rain and after a horrible experience with a previous blog developer and trainer, I called Jim. He felt my pain and offered a solution. Thirty minutes later I gave him my credit card number, SaltLakeSpeaks was reborn, and we've never looked back. It's uncommon to receive more than you were sold on the Internet, but that's what I've experienced with The Tomato Crew. They just keep delivering the juice!

In person,  Jim is  relaxed and cordial. In between sliding down oysters and slammin some brew, he has a great sense of humor and a passion for blogging. I really enjoyed hearing the history of The Real Estate Tomato and Jim's plans going forward. He has a sincere interest for his clients and a passion to see them succeed.

It was also a pleasure to meet Jim's other half, Monte. No, not Molly, the incredible customer service rep who "is quick like a cat" and services all the tomatoes on the vine, but his beautiful and witty wife, Monte. What a great team they make.

I didn't need to meet Jim in-person to be thrilled with my blogging development team and coaches. He didn't have to call to see if I wanted to chill a bit while he was in town. But, as Tony Robbins puts it, Jim just went from great to spectacular.

Thanks Jim, for helping me through this marathon.
