----- FUSZ INVESTOR FAQ v6.0 -----

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: This FAQ was assembled with the information and help from many LONGS (CUIN2, HIGHPEAKS, yerboss, ki2002rom, SHEEPWOLF, Stockseekr and many others).

Why? Because there is so much information. It could take someone a month to find all of it and this FAQ is meant for anyone as quick reference to links, videos and facts to help you do your OWN due diligence. This FAQ was not created by nFusz. Don't base your buying/selling decisions on anything said on a messageboard.

As Rory has said in every update, do your OWN diligence:

@ 2:09 "Do your own due diligence. Do your OWN INDEPENDENT due diligence. Make an informed investment decision."
http://nfusz.com/super/ajax/ajax2.php?mediaid=iGV9dQ

This FAQ will continuously be updated and all are welcome to add, share, copy and repost the latest version so people can make their own decision to buy, hold or sell.

Why? Why am I doing this? Because I'm building a war chest of cash. We're getting rid of debt. We're cleaning up our balance sheet.

We are positioning guys, we are position us because I want to uplist to NASDAQ or NYSE as soon as we possibly can.

nFusz Technology & Innovation
**************************************
Q: Is the code proprietary?
A: Rory: "our source is proprietary and protected by copyright"

Q: Couldn't another company replicate the software?
A: Rory: "I believe it’s now more than 10 million lines of code and it would be exceedingly difficult for anyone to duplicate"

Q: What other applications could nFusz technology be applied?
A: LinkedIn, Real Estate, Armed Forces Recruitment, Dating Websites (e.g. Match.com), Insurance Brokers, etc. The list goes on and on.


Q: I could see how this walk about technology would be more engaging then a LinkedIn profile. How would that work?
A: Here's a video on NotifiID:
https://nfusz.com/super/ajax/ajax2.php?mediaid=h2t6fA==

Q: Someone told me the company is considering blockchain technology and crypto-currency. What's that all about?
A: On 1/31/18, the nFusz CEO shared plans to Disrupt Digital Advertising Through Blockchain Technology On iHeartRadio Talk Radio Show
CEO Money: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQNpCbsfwCA

"The massive revenue stream generated in online advertising is based almost entirely on the number of views a piece of advertising content generates," states nFusz CEO Rory J. Cutaia. "Isn't it about time that we allow the people responsible for generating that revenue - the viewers themselves - to participate in that income opportunity," continues Mr. Cutaia. "Our plan is to create an entirely new ecosystem for the distribution of advertising revenue utilizing some of the latest innovations in blockchain technology and crypto-currency," continues Mr. Cutaia.

Q: THere are a lot of videos on YouTube. Could people buy a subsription to create more engaging videos and post them there?
A: Actually that's how it works. The videos you simply and quickly create are stored on YouTube. They have over a billion of user (almost a 1/3 of the internet) in 88 countries in 78 languates watching over a billion hours of videos everyday.

Q: How would nFusz technology help people who create videos for YouTube?
A: Approximately 20% of the people who start a video will leave after the first 10 seconds. The trick to prevent that is to create damn good intro. nFusz notifiCRM can capture someone's attention right away.

Reviews
**************************************
Q: I heard most CRM product don't sell. They just track, but this product is unique in the CRM world and actually helps sells. What are the results?
A: nFuse notifiCRM actually does the selling for you. You can make your videos not only engaging with the simple to user walk out technology, but all interactive with the ability to put call to action (CTA) buttons anywhere on the screen at anytime. 80% of people get distracted long before a video ends and it many cases, that is too late to engage the customer. notifiCRM allows companies to engage potential customers throughout the entire video. Users have reported increases in conversion rates, that projects to customers, as much as 600%.

Q: That's great that the company "thinks" their product is great. What about other people, companies, users, analyts?
A: Richard Bohn said "This one is HOT! A real game-changer (a phrase I seldom use!)". Oracle gave what some would call the good housekeeping seal of approval. The retention rates are over 98% which are the highest in the industry for compaines that don't have "vendor lock in"

A: An influencer is an individual who has the power to affect purchase decisions of others because of his/her authority, knowledge, position or relationship with his/her audience. An individual who has a following in a particular niche, which they actively engage with. The size of the following depends on the size of the niche.

Recent Deals & Launches
**************************************
Q: Besides the Oracle deal that has been 8-K'd but not PR'd yet, is there any other deals that are under the radar yet to be PR'd?
A: On February 9, 2018 an agreement with MARKETO, INC. with an effective date of April 1, 2018. Marketo is the leading Engagement Platform that empowers marketers to create lasting relationships and grow revenue.

Q: I'm not familiar with Marketo. I they are small or midsize company?
A: Marketo is a large company. They were sold in 2016 to Vista Equity Partners LLC for $1.8B

Q: Has nFusz launched anything new recently?
A: The company launched notifiCRM Entourage Package for Network Sales
specifically for the 100 million people involved with network marketing sales.
January 30, 2018
http://nfusz.com/super/ajax/ajax2.php?mediaid=iGV0dg
https://nfusz.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/notifiCRM-Entourage-Package-Press-Release-V2.pdf

Q:When is the Oracle deal going to be announced?
A: Form 8-K: 1/2/2018 - "The Agreement provides that the development of the application, which will be undertaken jointly by us and ORACLE, will be completed within one year. We anticipate that development of the application, which has already begun, will be completed within 120 days. The Agreement is for an initial term of one year, but renews automatically for successive one-year terms, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the termination provisions set forth in the Agreement."
The development started before the 8K was released and word from the company is they are ahead of schedule. Anticipate development to be competed in the next month.

Q: Has there been any other updates on the Oracle announcment since the 8-K?
A: Rory: “Remember, Oracle has yet to announce our deal. While there are no guarantees in life or investing, it’s inconceivable to me that their PR - about 45-60 days away, possibly much sooner - would not create a level of awareness about our company in the investment community at large, institutional and otherwise, that would drive volume in the stock to levels we have never seen. We will be seen by investors that don’t track OTC companies. If you believe that scenario, as I do, then this pull-back - affecting all stocks on all exchanges right now - should be seen as a buying opportunity. We’ve seen first hand how the SP can move on modest news. The die is cast. People need to take off their day-trader glasses through which they view most OTC stocks and take a fresh hard look at the due diligence material available on nFusz. The sky is not falling, we’re just getting closer to it as we’ve begun to fly.”

Q: How does NetSuite fit into all of this with Oracle? Does anybody use NetSuite?
A: Oracle bought NetSuite a little less than two years ago for $9.3B and added 10,000 companies since (33% increase). How do you keep that market share growing? By adding new capabilities as fast as you can.

Oracle Buys NetSuite
$9.3 billion
Redwood Shores, Calif.—Jul 28, 2016

Global Organizations using NetSuite

2014 - 20,000
2016 - 30,000
2018 - 40,000

https://www.oracle.com/corporate/pressrelease/oracle-buys-netsuite-072816.html


Oracle sell 3 Editions of NetSuite:

Limited Edition: companies up to 10 named users and have less than 50 employees

Mid-Market Edition: companies between 11-1,000 named users

Enterprise Edition: companies over 1,000 named users

Pricing starts at $999/mo. for the Limited Edition.

NetSuite comes with standard features including CRM and ERP, but has a number of Advanced large modules that are additional. This is similar pricing model as SAP, Workday and other SaaS providers. Customers are used to paying more for new capability and can add notifiCRM for $10-$20.

Rory: "Oracle, we brought it home and yes, it is a BIG DEAL!

I believe it's going to be a big game changer for existing Oracle Netsuite users once they have access to this tool right from their dashboard
Yeah I think it's going to be very very well received among existing Netsuite users and there's millions of them."

2/16/18 SHAC: http://nfusz.com/super/ajax/ajax2.php?mediaid=iGV0dg

Q: Oracle is a large product, development and service company. With all their resources, why wouldn't they develop something similar?
A: For the last year they've been hiring like gangbusters. They have 1,619 sales openings right now only topped by 1,797 in product development.

That potentially is $250M in product development new hires and another $250M in sales new hires per year.

That's 1/2 a billion $ in new hires. It is a lot faster to partner with an existing company than to try to hiring even more to create a new solution from scratch

Q: Why would Oracle do a deal with a small startup company?
Reuters:
A: Large companies do it all the time when they find great innovation. Here's an example:
Slack valued at $5.1 billion after new funding led by SoftBank
SEPTEMBER 18, 2017

Slack locks down Oracle partnership targeting enterprises

Q: What is the revenue split with Oracle?
A: 90-10. 90% to nFusz and 10% to Oracle

Q: I heard a lot about Salesforce being a giant in CRM. Why didn't nFusz do a deal with them first or even SAP?
A: Oracle is under a lot of pressure to continue to drive sales like every company and in this case, to the cloud. Having innovative products from nFusz will help them hit their targets.

What a lot of people don't know is even Oracle's competition rely on Oracle. Having Oracle sales reps market nFusz to Oracle customers is also marketing the company so Oracle's competitors at the same time.

"Let me tell you who's not moving off of Oracle. A company you've heard of that gave us another $50 million this last quarter. That company is Amazon. They're not moving off of Oracle. Salesforce isn't moving off of Oracle. Our competitors, who have [no reason] to like us very much, continue to invest in and run their entire business on Oracle. I don't know who's moving on from Oracle. Maybe Mark knows, maybe Safra does. But Amazon , you think Amazon would really want to move. Let me tell you someone else who is not moving out of Oracle: SAP . They have the database called HANA. They'd like to move SuccessFactors. They've been trying to move off of Oracle for 5 or 6 years. All SAP large customers run on Oracle. Amazon continues to buy Oracle technology to run their business. Salesforce runs entirely on Oracle. Go ahead, you tell me who's moving off of Oracle."

http://www.zdnet.com/article/oracle-q2-strong-on-cloud-saas-momentum/

Q: Now that nFusz has done a deal with Oracle, does that mean they can't do a deal with any of the other large companies like SalesForce, SAP, Microsoft, etc.?
A: The Oracle deal is non-exclusive. nFusz is free to do deals with anyone else.

Q: Why would SalesForce, SAP, Microsoft want to do a deal with nFusz now that the product is going to be integrated into Oracle's Netsuite?
A: To stay competitive and not lose market share. Integrating nFusz technology into their solutions could cancel out the advantage Oracle has initially. Oracle is raising the bar on the product offering and NotifiCRM may be the new minimum that every product must have.

Q: What is the relationship of Oracle, Salesforce, SAP, Microsoft, Amazon and Google?

**************************************
Other Considerations
**************************************
Management Team
Credibility and character of the management team. A lot of people based their investment not only on the products and potential of a company, but also the management team. Do they have the intelligence, drive, passion, commitment, character and track records to take it all the way.

For credibility listen to last weeks radio program of why other CEOs are asking him for advice:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KypJp_8x_g

For character listen to the replay of today's radio program that shows the CEO is passionate and more than one dimensional. Here's what the company is doing about a serious problem.

For track record:
nFusz CEO Rory Cutaia Tells How He Made People Millionaires, and Will Do It Again, on iHeart Radio
https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/FUSZ/news?id=176888

Rory has done this before with the company Telx he founded in 2000, to disrupt the telecommunications industry. He sold it a mere 6 years later in 2006 for $216,000,000 making investors 18x their original investment. It resold again in 2015 in partnership with Berkshire Partners for $1.9 BILLION! https://www.thestreet.com/story/13217986/1/abry-and-berkshire-exit-telx-through-19b-sale-to-digital-realty.html


Simple:
Simple to create. Simple to view. Simple to share. "Easy of use" is a winner every time when it comes to software. Especially CRM that the number one complaint is it's too difficult, takes too much time and doesn't add value for the salesperson. Walkouts are not new, but it sure used to be a lot harder to do them until now.


Engaging:
We all have seen a lot of videos. The good, the bad and the ugly. Unless it's a video that is more of a TV commercial it's hard to capture someone's attention. If it was easy, companies wouldn't spend billions of dollars on brand engagement. You are more likely to engage someone who is almost fully standing in front of you with nothing distracting vs. a traditional video. I almost think of most videos as 2D and this has a 3D feel to it.


Interactivity:
No more click the link at the bottom of this web page when the video is done messages. You are interacting with your potential customers at any point in the video. Compare the bounce rates of a customer using a nFusz video vs. not and I bet they are a lot lower. You have the CTA buttons right in the video.


Cross Industry:
Some products are geared towards certain segments of the market. The first thing a lot of people say when they see this product is: "Oh, it would be great using this _______. Fill in the blank as so many industries and applications have been suggested.


Cross Platform:
Works on your PC, laptop, mobile device, iPhone, etc. None if this, sorry it only works in IE version #.#.# but we are going to port it to your device this Summer so it should work for you're company then.


Mass Appeal:
The companies sales strategy is brilliant in my opinion. Rather than go after sales with one company at a time, they are going after million of users at a time. The potential to grow and grow quickly is exponential rather than linear


Sells Itself:
The product doesn't need a sales person to have a one hour meeting with a client to show them the product. Send of link and people get it right away.


Sets a New Standard:
If I'm watching a video, I'd much prefer to see the full view of someone. Read their body language, expression, how they carry themselves, etc. especially if I'm listening to a sales pitch. Will this become the new normal, I don't know, but everyone that sees it loves it.


Scalability:
nFusz made an important change last fall and that was to leverage youtube for video storage. Not only does that remove a lot of cost for the company and increases margins it allows them to scale more rapidly.


Cost of Entry:
It's $10/mo. Look at what the average Salesforce deal is or some of these other behemoth systems. nFusz could have priced it a lot higher, but are going with the volume, mass adoption approach.


Flexibility:
Take a look at what they are doing for uBid. That is quite an extension of the platform in a unique way.


ROI:
If I'm a big corp looking to buy a product, I'm always thinking about the bottomline. Is this product going to increase sales or cut cost are the two questions I'm most interested in.


Well both. You are going to engage your customers better which will have higher sales closure rates with lower acquisition cost. Does your salesforce need to get on the plane every time someone is interested in your product? Do you even need the same size sells force if your videos are doing some of the selling for you. This can drive more leads that end in deals.


Pudding:
The proof is in the pudding as they say. Rory just said the retention rates are 98%. That is remarkable considering they are going after millions of customers and you would think some would just try it for just a month with not much to lose. Must be working and adding value.
