This new online business is currently on ‘Alpha Phase’ mode, the earliest stage any development has ever started to promote which is unheard in the industry.
Although it is still too soon to tell what the final Product will finally look or be like, Peter Palatnik, the mind behind the Project, considers this is the best timing to start a personal relationship with future Marketer Superstars. He commented more about this:
“Whenever you have the chance to collaborate right from the beginning, with anyone looking to become a successful entrepreneur, and share the goals and vision I have set for this large scale project, you can always provide added benefits for everyone involved early on, including possible new ideas for improvement and the precise needs and feels that you might miss or had never thought about before.”
Rumors say this Unique Educational Program will feature 7 levels with very precise and specific how-to information. Each level may contain over 5 modules integrating a balanced mix of theory and practical implementation through guided training sessions. “Using a balanced mix of theory/practice will lead to better understating and speed of implementation, which in my humble opinion, is the best formula for success”. Mr. Palatnik added.

PickupPal---On Your Way
What Company Is Offering:
PickupPal allows a private vehicle engaged in a transportation event (a one-way trip from A to B) to be matched intelligently and dynamically over the Internet to a pickup location (someone or something) along its planned route anywhere in the world.
How it Works:
PickupPal's core service is providing a venue for either passengers or packages to find or be matched to a driver—typically already travelling in a certain direction or destination—for a small commission. This intelligent matching is performed via our own proprietary set of software algorithms that dynamically and in real time compare routing, frequency, locational, and driver/passenger preferences against a pool of registered users.
At the core of PickupPal's technology is a high-performance Geographic Information System (GIS) software application that sorts and matches based on a series of pre-engineered criteria.
