Thoughtful

Got this nice email in today.  So few people bother to say something nice, so it's always something special.

Hey hey Blue table painting!

I wanted to start this email by saying you probably get more complainers than anything else, so i wanted to take this time to personally thank the both of you and your entire staff for my project. Your customer service is second to none and when a problem arose someone was there to meet it head on. I constantly read your blog and watch your bat reps and bought a ticket to Valhalla because it seems like so much fun. everything your company stands for is everything that is right in this world. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and i WILL be ordering from you guys again.

Sincerely,

Steven P.

[emails like this make it all worth it]

Dear Shawn,

[Just before Thanksgiving] I was rushed to the ER and then the next thing I know I'm having back surgery so again I'm sorry I wasnt able to keep in touch but I will make up for it now I was released on Thanksgiving of all days.

I would like to say few things.  My wife and kids were a great help and a blessing but they couldn't be there all the time while I was recovering. That's when Blue Table Painting came in I had my Nook and was able to watch your battle reports and I also dreamed about my Beastmen army coming from dark forests blending in to woods dark forms moving then a loud bellow from Grunt One-horn and the cries of fear from the humans as they know their fate.

I think I'm just trying to say thank you.

You and your team helped me take my mind off the pain and the worry.

C.B.

Round and Round

Hello loyal BTP fan, what a delight it is to write a blog post for you today.  I will try and write more.  You have to understand, I've been up at 5:30am and I pass out by 9:00pm tops.

The studio is in high gear.  As time goes on we become more coordinated.  It takes time for people to get to know and trust each other.  I see staff starting to play games with each other.  On Saturday there were like eight staffers (and Mike D.) down for Infinity.  It's a long-term dream of mine to see staff doing spontaneous game days.  That was really cool.

For my part I am laser-beam focused on Inquiries.  That means setting up new projects and also making sure current projects get through.  Several times a week we do a walk through to be sure everything is on track.  We almost all the way through a pretty huge logjam.  Victims of our own success.  But turnaround is vastly improving.  Some projects are making it through in just a week or two.  I'm working very diligently on this.

I haven't had the time to do Batreps, sorry to say.  I really want to get the studio Skaven on the table.

For the next four to six months I plan on consolidating the studio with only moderate gains.  We are focusing on fundamentals, just like a good team.  How good can we make it?  How close-knit can the team become?  Then I think we will be ready for the much greater things that lay ahead.

Breaking Dawn 2 is out this weekend.  I wonder who my wife is going to see that with.  Read more on my personal blog.

Ordering Models

BTP typically orders many thousands of dollars of models per week.  At this time over 90% of projects at BTP are on track.  The remainder are queued up for attention.  If you are a client and you have any concerns or questions, please don't hesitate to contact us

• Email at bluetablepainting@gmail.com
• Phone number is (801) 372-8545
• Facebook ID is bluetablepainting http://www.facebook.com/BlueTablePaintingUSA?ref=hl
• Google Chat ID is bluetablepainting
• Skype ID is bluetablepainting

 Forge World.  We are looking for clients to order models on our behalf for which we offer an amplification of your money towards your project of 20%.  There are two reasons for this.  One, we have in the past had trouble with Forge World charging our bank account but not registering as transaction completed.  Two, on the net it costs less for us to provide $X of service (assembly/painting) than to buy direct from Forge World.  Currently there are only four projects with FW items needed.   We are currently working with several clients on this type of deal which should see all Forge World items on the way.

We anticipate that within 7-14 days every single model needed for every single project will be in the studio OR on the way.
