Shaun Haenes Founding Partner:
Shaun S. Haenes is a serial entrepreneur that has a proven track record of driving multimillion-dollar growth and fast paced expansion over the past eleven years.
With Dale Carnegie’s Corporate Sales Training, he lead Premium Solutions, LLC in first years sales in 2003 and drove him to open Insurance Negotiators LLC in 2004 which later grew into All Web Leads, Inc.
In 2008 while working as a Business Development Contractor for EMG, Inc he helped structure an innovative health insurance program that allowed 4 million Keller Williams Agents nationwide the opportunity to acquire group health insurance as independent contractors and covered thousands of uninsurable brokers. This account generated $4 million in revenue for EMG in the first 60 days after its launch.
His experience and motivation leading high energy start up organizations and national sales teams to exceed revenue and profit goals lead him towards the red-hot mobile industry in 2009. 1 year into the industry he worked with Fortune 500 companies like Coca Cola, Louisville Slugger and Roca Wear to pitch strategic mobile solutions.
With his 1st year sales exceeding $1.5 million in smart phone application software and business solutions at Appiction, LLC he decided to branch off to develop internal products as owner and managing partner at The Peoples Advisors LLC in 2011. While developing “Text In Private Spaces” (Android App) under The Peoples Advisors he was recruited to help Touch Technologies, a Mutual Mobile company, develop its small business and consumer mobile development division.
In 2012 he merged The Peoples Advisors with Island Apps to create a mobile solutions company that can offer products ranging from white label applications to full on software solutions and allowing companies with lower budgets to get into the mobile arena.
