Final Week Before Launch 08 Jul 2009 by Greg Ellis in Founders Blog

This week it?s all hands on deck at Cash Doctors. We have some ambitious plans for next week with months of work leading into it.

There are two major things happening...

Firstly, just days after the launch of the new iphone, we?re launching our new mobile phone browsable cash advance product ? Cash Doctors RUSH247.

It?s for members only. RUSH247 allows members to get cash relief in seconds 24/7 no matter where they are. Anywhere. Anytime.

The specially created browsing platform makes it really easy to login, request a cash advance, confirm the schedule and get paid straight onto the Cash Doctors Card right away. Essentially it?s the combination of the browsing interface and the Cash Doctors card that enables immediate payment anywhere, anytime.

The second major initiative is for people who have never had a loan with us before.

They can get their first loan from us for just $2. They get paid in 60 minutes and only have to repay $2 more than they borrowed.

So borrow $200 and repay $202.

We?ll also ... Read More »

People Don’t Listen to Companies - They Listen to People 24 Jun 2009 by Greg Ellis in Founders Blog

Today we?re going to reveal one of the things we?ve been working on for the last few months.

We?ve been writing about it, designing it, developing the usability aspect of it and even videoing demos of it. It?s a lot of fun, easy to use and most importantly, it enables people to get cash 24/7 no matter where they are.

Have a look at the first demo video here ? How RUSH247 saved a Chihuahua?s life.

In a few weeks we?re also launching another new invention that will allow people to try their first Cash Doctors loan at zero risk.

It?s understandable that getting small loans on the internet is pretty scary for people. So we thought it?d be great if you could dip your toes in and see what it?s all about without any risk. After all, a lot of people are still a bit jittery doing any type of transaction over the internet. My Mum isn?t really that old and is generally keen to learn new things ? but there?s no way I can get her to buy books and DVDs on Amazon. She just won?t do it.  The thing is it can sav...

What makes Cash Doctors different? 22 Jun 2009 by Sean Teahan in Founders Blog

In answering this I don?t want to talk about our customer service.  Cash Doctors is obsessed with customer service ? we all know that.  

Instead I want to talk about business philosophies.  Thousands of books have been written on it.  So surely the perfect business management model is out there, right?   

Well if there was one perfect way, they wouldn?t have needed to write thousands of books on it would they?

Thing is, there is no one perfect way. The real world is too dynamic and variable.  

After all, things change.  The world changes. Your staff changes.  Your customers change. Your product changes.  Public perception of you  changes.  Your industry changes.  Technology changes. Global financial crises change everything....  

For us guys trying to grow a business this is scary.  I mean it?s terrifying.  You want to be able to produce perfectly accurate forecasts.  Beautiful rising graphs....not rising to... Read More »

Change Is In The Air 03 Jun 2009 by Greg Ellis in Founders Blog

Finally the rubber is hitting the road  - after months of hard work and preparation.

The first small new change was released on Monday 1 June- the new website design went live. It?s just a taste test really. It?s nothing compared to what?s planned over the next few weeks.

We felt our home page was due for a refresh and that it was a bit cluttered, so we?ve streamlined it seriously.

Now members can log in from the home page which saves them some time. If they need cash it shaves a few seconds off ? or if they have spare time they can get in there and check out some resources and learn about money or get to know us a little better by reading blogs or the random stuff on the video blogs.

For first time clients, the new homepage design also makes it a lot easier to get to the bottom of who we are and what we do. Cash advances online are still new in Australia so people need to get a quick grip on it and see why Cash Doctors is so much different from everyone else. It?s... Read More »

Planning A World First 22 May 2009 by Greg Ellis in Founders Blog

Just a quick one..

This morning I was sitting down with fellow Cash Doctors co-founder Sean Teahan. We mapped out all the projects to be done over the next few weeks as we move towards launching something special.

All I can say is it's a world first.

You'd think that once you pay your clients cash 24/7 in seconds, you'd have done all there is to do. But innovation and trying to give more to our clients has always been our philosophy. There is still so much more we want to give.

It'll be great to finally deliver on some projects we've been talking about for over a year now.

I guess in a couple of weeks I'll pull the rabbit out of the hat. But for now we're in hush, hush mode, putting in the hard work behind closed doors.

Right now no one else gives money in 60 minutes or pays clients 24/7 in seconds, so I guess we'll be extending our lead here in Australia. Ultimately I hope that more providers take our lead, so more people know about getting Read More »
