Taxi V: The reason it is so hard to please your crowd is because Wave has yet to make good on any of the big promises made by this CEO or the one before him.
You are out scouring the Net for signs of traction. True signs are missing, IMO, so you are put in the position of looking for secondary signs--which are easy to misinterpret and are even easier to shape into what appears to be actual traction.
To me, actual traction is when sales are made and booked as revenue. Trying to tie together the wispy evidence into a convincing case of Wave traction is hard because the convincing case, while tantalizing, always seems to dance just out of reach of Wave.
But kudos to you for making the effort. I agree with Alea, if anyone spots any dots on the distant horizon having real potential--it will be you. I am sure you are well aware of all the false sightings of the past. They give hope to true believers, but incite ridicule in those of us who only count the beans when they go into Wave's jar.
In a day and a half's time, Wave will be 2/3 of the way through Q1--and the real indicators of progress are still elusive, IMO. Not yet has Wave managed to wrangle a significant sale into its corral in the entirety of Bill Solms's reign of about a year and a half.
One wonders if the signs you see out there are akin to the blurred photos of the Loch Ness Monster, the Abominable Snowman and UFO's? The intensity of the wonderment is stirred by the realization Wave claims to have what everyone wants, yet somehow, nobody buys.
Taxi, do you buy the long sales arguments, Wave needs a partner, Wave is too small, too fragile financially, etc.? I don't. I think the problem is Wave's product is completely underwhelming.
Otherwise, why would so many companies do trials and pilots with Wave and then walk away and begin looking elsewhere?
Any light you can shed on this apparent huge gap in the logic?
Best wishes for good spottings of the dottings--Blue
