Scott: Hey everybody. I'm Scott Bintz, the CEO of RealTruck.com. We
are an e-commerce company that specializes in pickup truck
accessories, located in North Dakota. We had a big, hairy, audacious
goal, that if somehow, someway, we could do $25 million in sales, not
only would that be really cool, but I said I'd get a buzz-cut. That
day has come. In 2013, not only did we do $25 million in sales, we did
$28.5 million in sales. In addition to that, we are going to cut my
hair in a manner in which we can donate these locks to Locks of Love.
While I still have hair, I'd like to take a moment to thank our
customers, our partners, and of course, the RealTruck staff for making
it possible for us to have reached and surpassed this big, hairy,
audacious goal.
I am absolutely humbled at some of the things that have happened this
year, from the INC 5000 list, 8th fastest growing mobile website in
the world. Best Place to Work runner-up for the North Dakota Young
Professionals Association, Growing Jamestown Award, Number 15, the
second Top 500 e-commerce companies, which I am now positive we will
finally make the Top 500 E-commerce Companies list for internal
retailing.
I'm going to probably be wearing the Google Glass so I can take you
along with me so you can see what I see. Follow me as I, we, make our
way to get a buzz cut.
Verna: Buzz cut.
Scott: Hello.
Verna: How you doing?
Scott: Good.
Verna: Good.
Scott: We're at Verna's Barber Shop, downtown Jamestown, North Dakota,
and we are going to get a buzz cut. I'm going to act like a kid here
for a second and spin around in this chair. Now I guess getting on
with the mission at hand, which is I'm about to need a winter hat.
Verna: Don't ask me to braid it. It's not going to happen.
Scott: It's already starting to feel a little breezy.
Verna: It's got to be 10 inches. I would ... oh yeah. Here goes the
first one.
Scott: There you have it, RealTruck; I've gotten my buzz-cut. You have
reached our big, hairy, audacious goal. There's the hair going to
Locks of Love and there is one buzz. I'm got to look like a lean,
mean, CEO machine actually. We're going to have some fun. Look forward
to a great 2014. Let's do something else cool for a contest like this,
for a big, hairy audacious goal. Until next time, smile.

Hopefully, this would be classified as a fun video, but who knows. I'm
not much of an actor, I'm just a guy with long hair. One should
remember to tip; it's the right thing to do. Don't be cheap is what
I'm trying to say.
Verna: Thank you.
Scott: Verna supports that message. There's some amazing things you
can do with long hair. The hairs in my eyes; I should throw it back
like a rock star. You've got the fingers through the hair. 'I'm just
going to head *** to music that's in my own head' look, which you
just do that quite a bit. Don't throw out your back doing something
like that. 'Running through the office like a caveman' look. 'Let's
make a ponytail but not do anything with it' look, where you just put
her in an invisible ponytail, and then let it fluffle.
Scott: We're headed out. Until next time. I guess it's a little nippy.
I better wear my Rockstar Mudflaps hat from Agricover.
