My First WA Referral, and I wasn't even trying!

I was talking to a co-worker & friend today who shares the same "entrepreneurial itch" that I have. Our discussions are always pretty interesting. He's trying to get a business started too, and he was elaborating on the many frustrations he's been having with a certain domain registrar and web-hosting company which shall remain nameless. :)

He was also telling me how horrible their web builder tool is and he just wasn't sure what he was going to do. I could totally relate to what he was saying, because I'd been there before!

So, needless to say, I proceeded to tell him all about WAU and how much I love absolutely everything since I got serious about it a few days ago. Then I showed him my website, which is totally in it's infancy with about 4 pages and 1 post. Nonetheless, he was very impressed with the look & layout, and when I explained the process I went through to create it, he was very intrigued!

Long story short, I sent him the Black Friday link on a whim to see if it was still active. Little did I know the Black Friday deal was extended -- I think until this Friday. He pretty much immediately signed up and then took advantage of the BF offer by upgrading to Premium. Let me tell ya, this is one smart man who knows what he wants! :)

It goes without saying, I'm pretty ecstatic to have my first WA referral, and he's pretty fired up to have access to all the training and tools here at WA. I do believe it's time for a celebratory adult beverage!
