Take it for what it's worth;
Dear Lem
Thank you for your email.
The answer to your question is very, very simple. It IS more important than booking two meetings (what would be the point in issuing a press release about that?)
Some elements have been slow to catch on to how important gaining Vodafone Certified status is. The fact that days after the release of the announcement that we have attended a joint meeting with Vodafone and successfully sold the product through the Vodafone partnership underlines how effective this is as a route to market. And in those few days we have not had just one enquiry, but a total of three meetings confirmed and a successful sale.
So, it is important. Very important. And has real benefits for everyone involved.
The release also answers the question of why we are not yet listed on Vodafone’s Certified applications list. Unfortunately for those who erroneously believe this is all a scam the reason is very simple. They are awaiting their next update cycle. Vodafone UK update their Partner section once a quarter. Getting the listing pulled forward has been further hampered by numerous emails being sent to the Vodafone Press Office by people asking if Medify actually exists, whether Vodafone knew that Medify Solutions has issued a press release using Vodafone stationary etc. It is ludicrous to think that they would be unaware Medify Solutions has sent a release without their consent. The release is written into a template provided by Vodafone UK, and we actually had it ready to release on Tuesday. It took 48 hours for sign off from Vodafone UK Press Office before we could send it.
Vodafone UK have not responded to the emails sent by people because they simply did not believe it was a credible use of their time. It is incredibly obvious to them that they are aware of the potential of the product, they are selling it alongside us and they provided us with press release material.
A significant amount of time that could easily have been devoted to more productive activities has had to be invested in managing the relationship with Vodafone PR.
As you can imagine, this has very little benefit.
And finally, the matter of press coverage. Entering “MedifyRemote” into Google.com returns 447,000 hits. Which I think means our news is getting out there.
I hope this helps
Regards

PS - I thought I’d also mention (not that I think you or anyone else will believe it), but we are NOT, I repeat NOT, selling into the news. However dismayed you may be with the current share price, having made your investment, myself and everyone working exceptionally hard here to make Medify a success has invested their whole future into this. How do you think we feel when we achieve a significant win and then see our share price plummet?
