PHOTO: TONY MCQUILKIN on their lunch break for $ 1.00EC per day. A skill possibly inherited by his grandmother Grenada’ s own Jeanne Fisher who opened her business‘ Tikal’ in
St. George’ s in 1959. After secondary school he moved to Canada and became drawn to the internet and new technologies. Becoming quite proficient with website building and graphic design as a young man.
It was after attending College for Graphic Design and General Business he was drawn to a growing online business and travel guide called Ottawakiosk. com. In 2007 the company was about to expand nationally and with over 50,000 users per month Ottawa Kiosk was ranked # 1 on Google for all major local searches in Ottawa like“ Ottawa restaurants” or“ Ottawa museums” and other Ottawa attractions. Mr. Zufelt anticipated that local search marketing was about to explode and took a job as a commission only sales representative with no salary.
In 2010 he bought his own territory in Kingston, Ontario( kingstonkiosk) opening an office with 3 employees. Within the first year he personally generated over $ 100k doing business with the largest hotel groups and restaurant chains in the city. He partnered with the Kingston Chamber of Commerce and he eventually worked his way onto the Marketing Committee for Regional Tourism Organization. – The Great Waterway encompasses The Bay of Quinte, Prince Edward County, Land O’ the Lakes, Rideau Heritage Route 1,000 islands, and the counties. A substantial region for tourism marketing. In 2012 he jumped on the opportunity to become CEO of the company( CanadianKiosk. com), which now had 36 websites across Canada in all major cities and a team of 10 people.“ Being average is a failing formula and I want to inspire people to change their lives and the world.” Cory Zufelt added,“ One of my personal goals is to be in a position to sponsor Lewis Hamilton and get our Digital Growth logo on his F1 racing car and jacket.”
Ambition is certainly not something this young man is lacking. In 2014 he created his new vision Digital Growth with partner Shawn Gervais a successful entrepreneur in his own right, who has built 6 successful companies in North America. Shawns’ business is in systemizing processes and
