Achieve 3000 didn’t have to go far to find customers.
>>>The company develops Webbased programs that help children learn to read and write. Early on, it found customers in nearby New Jersey school districts, an important first step in the company’s growth.
>>>“Having customers close to home affords employees the opportunity to see first-hand what is working best and we learn as much as we can from our users,” says Saki Dodelson, chief
executive officer of Achieve3000, which was founded in 2000.
>>>Today, the company’s Web-based teaching tools are used by more than 500,000 students in 1,200 schools in 22 states. Versions of the tools are available in Spanish, Vietnamese and Creole.
>>>Annual sales are expected to hit $9.9 million in 2006, up from $5.2 million in 2005.
>>>Achieve3000 attributes its growth to the success of its products in meeting their goal.

The company also works to establish a connection with the students, teachers and schools that use its tools. For example, the company holds celebrations and provides
medals and awards for schools and school districts that are doing well.
>>>“We never want to lose the personal
relationships and must work hard to be sure that, no matter how large or fast we grow, our customers know they can count on us to be
there for them and for the children,”
Dodelson says.
