They have not abandoned Voice Keywords.
They do not have to keep Ticker Symbol company stock one year.
Back to the phones....
Great work with the blog, Brad.
Thanks.
On this day, September 10th, 2010 -- a date which will live in infamy -- Go800 launched its first major ad appearing in the Wall Street Journal.

Good weekend to all!!
didnt understand the 2nd paragraph
Read the second paragraph
Please see post 93401
Ok, I'll back down, and take back my comical comment, I don't mean/want to get personal. I also don't want to spend hours explaining how this is being attempted to be sold and why it is so difficult to sell.
Everyone has got to remember, this is not like selling something that has been bought and used previously. This service is new on the planet to all business's. We may know how it can help their business, but nobody whats to be the first one to jump in the pool.
There are Ambassadors that really know what they are doing (I know that may be hard for some to believe).
Unique, if you knew what it takes to have Fortune 500 companies seriously consider a Voice Keyword and you knew the hoops that have to be jumped through to get them to sign, and you knew that these things are happening as I type, (slower because I am trying to explain this to you and not following up on calls), then and only then would you begin to have a clue about how this plays out in real life. Until then, you do not.
Respectfully,
Doone
I was referring to your post as comical.
JohnSam... Thanks. Appreciate that. But I only wanted to focus, albeit intensely, on getting us on MDA this weekend.
Should I want to vere from what I currently am engaged in and become an ambassador on a regular basis, I'll let you know. Rest assured, I won't go into it with hands tied. I'll be very frank with Ike about how I would want things to go and what sort of parameters I would want to work with in order to accomplish the goal of landing major companies. Something must not be right with the current approach if after 4.5 months of this there is not one major company announced as a paying customer.

I did, still laughing.
I'd like to, but one out of one thousand sentences can be useful, so I'm a sucker to read them all.
Stop crying
It is being worked, it has been posted, if it was as easy as you say , it would be a done deal already.
Work on a towing company in your home town.
Leave the heavy work to the Ambassadors, you just take care of other things you need to do on a regular basis.
PS. If I'm sounding cynical, I am. Sometimes it seems like you have no clue at all.

Tax question for the board- I have 19k in realized gains for goig and probably 90k in unrealized losses. Since I dont want to pay 5k in takes this year on my realized gains, should I sell more goig for a loss to even it out, and buy it back right away so I have no capital gains tax this yr?
Started looking into this company and there product today. Could be interesting.
People much smarter than me have stated in the past that it is not a good idea for mm's to know share counts. The less information they have on long stock positions the better, for shareholders.
Nothing against you or anyone else, just thought I would share.
That is funny.
I promised I wouldn't tell, but it's #3.
I am still laughing.
I hope you gave him a word.
There are thoughts that this information can be used against shareholders by the mm's. In my opinion, not worth the risk.
I was just about to call LUA and ask why isn't the Voice Keyword LIFTUP shown? Decided to listen again to the audio update. LIFTUP is not set up yet, and Ike said as much "will be using". So I will wait on that one.
Now in my opinion UDS is another story. DTSL is up and running, they use the ticker symbol to connect to a message. Their subsidiary, UDS has a Voice Keyword that connects to their main number. My question to them, and I am waiting for a call back today, is why doesn't "Or text UDS to 46800 (Go800) to be connected" show up on their contact page under the phone number, and in the subway banner show "Or text SUBWAY to 46800 (Go800) to be connected" under the Subs-to-go number. When anyone texts SUBWAY to Go800 you are connected to Subs-to-go.
Seeing it in the Subway banner will be nice!
What do you have to say about the "Lift up America" campaign?/i]
You mean the one that was mentioned well over a month or so ago? I have, since it was first mentioned, gone to the website almost every day, including today, and nowhere on the site do I see a "text...to Go800" for any sort of contact reasons. I don't see any literature on us anywhere on their site. Not under media parners/friends:
Hope you get some of your questions answered
"I don't know if it was a mistake, or in fact it was mentioned previously."
Welcome to GOIG.

Additional Information
Can't remember seeing info on a Sept 10th ad.
Doone hope you can help sept10 is this on top of the four other ads or is this the day the ads start thanks in advance
It was a $19 buy.
Gotta say I agree with you 100% this time. (I did count 20 though)
Wrong info given in pr. Just got off the phone with Minimar, doubt it will be corrected anytime soon.
This service is now available to investors. Investors with any public company can text the stock symbol (Voice Keyword™) to 46800 (Go800). Seconds later, the investor's cell phone rings as Go800™ connects them directly to the company's investor relations department. Go800™ gives investor relations the ability to stay visible, build relationships, refute rumors, and address any investor inquiry quickly and easily.
Hey college bound ... ... ... ... ...
This question is for doone!! Do you know if we are dojng the free trial thing for ticker symbols? Thank you in advance.
Short update and some reminders for everybody .....
Working the ad agencies that were at attendance at the Dana. The have an impressive client list.
Remember, Generic and Brand prices have not changed. We have however, come up with different pricing models for different types of business. Some may call this a discount, I don't. This is ongoing, myself and an Ambassador are going to pitch Ike on a new pricing model that arose recently when a business owner shared with us his business model.
I'm reminded of Dr. Leonard McCoy's catchphrase from Star Trek, "I'm a doctor Jim, not a (insert job here)
I'm an "Ambassador" (sales rep) not a CFO, CEO, or a member of the Board of Directors, so when it comes to some of the questions being asked to Ambassadors, your asking the wrong people. I can answer (or try to) Ambassador, sales, and pricing questions. The other questions may be good ones for Brandon (as a poster suggested).
I am just a sales rep. The services and products are Voice Keywords, that is on the record. We are in a leadership position in the sense, we are on the front lines of a battle that has never been fought before, and we are fighting for shareholders. Do we offer services the company isn't offering? h--- yes. That is why we can help a poster with his idea by offering a word if we want to. It was not taken, so we move to the next idea. If it works, we package it up and sell it again. Of course we get Ike's blessing, but we do come up with new pricing methods to win the battles. We win enough battles and we will win the war. Thanks for the support.

Good catch, moderator on the recent deletions. As much as it may seem helpful, acts like that can actually jeopardize a deal. Another case of misinformation.
Lesson learned for Ambassadors to perhaps share less information on this board concerning the companies we are working on.
I'm sorry, you did not phrase your response in the form of a question.
Thank you for the reply.

Comments on the Ticker Symbol campaign. ... ...
Someone asked if Ambassadors were working ticker symbols. I am spending some time calling Big Board companies, located close to me. The IR departments are surprising reachable and receptive. Still a long lead time, but $25,000 in Walgreens sounds better than $25,000 in a Pinkie. (Even with 3 year restriction)
Part of the issue is we don't what the value, if any Pinks can have in three years. That being said, if I had a basket of say, 120 Pink stocks certificates in my hand worth $25,000 each, that's $3,000,000. The risk is nobody knows what they would be worth in three years. There are companies that will take the risk and pay me what they value the basket. Would I take $300,000 today for the lot?
The more Big Board certs I had in the basket the higher the price would be.
Maybe you did not see my reply earlier, so I repeated the request.
Thank you.
Briefly, what were the other reasons the three Ambassadors you spoke with quit? The reasons could help with future Ambassadors training to help them be more effective and generate more sales. We are all for that, right?
Thanks,
Ambassador program is evolving positively since the start.
It started with many signing up. Some signed on to gain information and had no intentions of trying to promote Go800.
Others quit after finding out it was harder than they thought to try and sell Voice Keywords, after so much rejection. (It take a lot of no's before you get a yes)
Now there is more support, ideas that work, scripts that work and new Ambassadors can get off to a good start.
Recently a poster compared Go800 sales reps to Microsoft's sales reps and went on to say we should not be posting on this board.
Someone that wants to by MSFT does not come on Ihub to look for DD. Potential investors for GOIG very likely could look at this board, big difference.

Subway, Universal Delivery Systems and Go800 last week.
http://www.universaldelivery.com/
On the UDS homepage they have a Subway banner advertising Subs-to-go
As most of you know they announced and executed National Vendor Agreement with Doctor's Associates, Inc. (DAI) the franchisor of SUBWAY® Restaurants.
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/UDS-Signs-National-Vendor-iw-2161811174.html?x=0&.v=1
Also, as most of us know, Go800 has a "strategic relationship" with UDS (Universal Delivery Systems).
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/GoIP-Global-Discusses-GO800-iw-3098485702.html?x=0&.v=1
So, I have been on a campaign recently, (one of many) to continue to talk to people at UDS untill they add "or text subway to 46800" in the Subway banner, under the phone number. I am making progress, there seems to be many sincere people that I have spoke to at UDS. Building relationships slowly. We all know you can now text Subway to Go800 and be connected to UDS, so why not show how to do it in the banner? I have been told it will be shown soon. When I see it it will be yet another small battle won for Go800.

Emailed the author and offered her a Voice Keyword.
Hi Unique:
I just used this post to answer, I don't mean to be aiming at you, Unique, information for all. Don't have much time right now, will go into more detail on pricing, tonight.
First off, I want to apologize to anyone who I've posted to, sounding in anyway mean, sarcastic, demeaning, etc. Specific apologies to Unique and Sentraman. I'm turning a new leaf for future posts, either will try to answer questions, share new information or try and correct misinformation.
Briefly now, (more later); my definition, of discounting prices, (and I think it is important we are all on the same page here) is: Lowering of a price from it's original price, either temporary or permanently.
This is not to be confused with new prices structures for new situations for businesses that don't fit into any existing pricing model. An example would be blackhawks working with Ike for a pricing model that was needed for a specific company that did not fit into our existing pricing models. Remember, as far as I know, our company, (speaking to shareholders) is the only company on the planet that can offer companies this service. As Ambassadors we were bound to have businesses (and we have) that have offices, and markets in areas where the original pricing model was not appropriate.
The original prices for Generics has not changed.
The original price for Brands has not changed.
Companies will be paying $10,000 per month for Generic Voice Keywords.
Now there is no way I know what kind of deals (discounts) Ike may be offering, but it is clear what our current rate plans are, and like I said, new plans are being added.
I am going to go out on a limb here and say most of us want the company to succeed (whoops sarcasm). We all want revenues. We are still figuring out new pricing models for the companies that do not fit in the original ones. It does not mean the original price are being cut or going away.
More on this tonight, please, if there are question, be nice and ask, I promise to be nice and if I know the answer will gladly share and if I don't I will say so.
Tonight information on the Ticker Symbol campaign.
