"The rule of three is a principle in English writing that suggests that things that come in threes are inherently funnier, more satisfying, or more effective than other numbers of things." [source: Rule of Three (Writing) Wikipedia]
We are a group of three women from the Coburn Family. Harmony Coburn is the founder of Coburn Enterprises. JoAnn Coburn-Morgan is Harmony's mother and became an active team member whenthe two merged households and relocated to Vancouver, WA in 2005. Our team was completed when JoAnn's niece (Harmony's cousin) Robin Starzman joined us in 2010. We each come to this business with the same conviction - do to others that which you would wish be done to you.
The Coburn Enterprises Team
-
Combined Experience: 60+ years in business to business sales and marketing...
-
Philosophy: "Be true to your values and the money will follow."
-
Primary Focus: "Bring a product or service to the marketplace that will not only bring our company financial rewards, but will be of great value to our end users."
-
Why Web Design and Hosting? "Because JoAnn insisted on learning how to put her business on the web and together we discovered there were a lot of people overcharging the little guy for simple services. With my years of experience in sales and marketing and unique ability to bridge the communication gap between technology and the small business person's need to use it, it was only natural that I would launch a company like this." Harmony Coburn - Founder
Each team member has her own strengths - and this is what makes Coburn Enterprises a complete solution:

Harmony Coburn: More than 25 years in sales and marketing. Harmony's experience as a consultative sales professional allowed her to experience many different types of businesses and gain an uncanny ability to "get into the head" of her clients. This unique talent is what makes Harmony an excellent business advisor. She knows how to get in and get to know the opportunities and challenges each client faces. She also knows when to recognize when it's time to bring in other resources. In addition to working for large companies like Revlon, Harmony launched 2 resume businesses and purchased and ran a successful monthly newspaper for doll and teddy bear collectors. Long before the PC became popular, Harmony was an advocate for technology. She helped companies she worked for embrace the power of the computer for things like managing databases and reports. When working for Revlon in the mid-80s she was the first sales rep to replace what was commonly referred to as the "table cloth" (a huge paper spreadsheet that was used to do quarterly sales reports) with her own computer generated spreadsheet report. This unique mix of "geek" and "public relations guru" is what makes website design and marketing so much fun for Harmony.

JoAnn Coburn-Morgan: JoAnn was a single mother that worked two jobs for many years to support her children. JoAnn came from an era when government aid was not socially acceptable so she found other ways to make ends meet. JoAnn is a professionally trained artist who often supplemented her income by selling her artwork. JoAnn was also gifted with a genius IQ. Ironically, it wasn't until later in life she was able to enjoy this unique blend of intelligence and creativity. JoAnn transferred her artistic skills into doll restoration and became quite famous within the antique and collectible doll world for her museum quality work. Doll restoration requires a great deal of labor and equipment however, so when JoAnn and Harmony decided to merge households she cut out the restoration and kept only the sewing aspect of that business you can learn more about JoAnn's primary business at http://www.joannmorgan.com. For Coburn Enterprises, JoAnn uses her artistic talents as a graphic designer and to help our "do it yourself" web designers learn how to use the advanced features of their tools.
