Don't play dumb unless you are.

Every once in awhile Surfkast, you like to play dumb - and we know you aren't - so then you either are doing it to see what other's know . . . or you do it because you don't see "the whole picture.

Your recent post was such a post:

"What does sanitizer have to do with the new upsurge? As we know Covid is spread from active particles expelled from a person. Yes there is the fact that Covid can live on surfaces. One can sanitize an entire arena and then someone sneezes or coughs near other people..... But they sanitized the arena......"

So lets assume you want us to think you're more clueless in that post - that's how a lawyer or a debater does it - spouts out a preposterous strawman point.

My continuing focus on selling is deliberate and very logical if you aren't a bean counter or a mere people manager. Some time back I described a theory used by many large insurance companies - that 1 of the 5 highest compensated employees in their large companies needed to always be someone in actual sales.

Well not only is that true but its very logical because talented sales people (not because the name badge says "sales person") . . . . look at the world differently than managers and bean counters do.

REal good Sales people don't think in terms of fences and barriers if they are good . . . they think in terms of what great idea can justify a business of any size to acquire a product the sales person sells.

Well Surfkast - 1st off - covad is transferred in many ways beyond a sneeze or cough. It can come from a touch of a hand or cheek or a handle of anything. A sales person sees the Olympics as a den of horrors - and why CYIO would have been a great market (too late now). Japanese people have great pride in their country - have for a thousand+ years. Olympics is a world view for all countries's pride and athletes - but for only 1 country that hosts it. They all spend considerable money for each country's benefit.

We know alcohol sanitizers have an effective benefit time of 18 seconds or the time it takes to dry. But non-alcohol sanitizers can go 4 hours to 20+ hours.

Our market is not arenas - its far more focused and directed to the most likely covad spread. All the athletes that are now currently coming down with Covad and face loss of competing have 2 things in common:

- they all start or end up their practice sessions in enclosed facilities

- and they all sweat and get tired in those practice sessions - often to the point of exhaustion (and exhaustion is weakness - a natural time to get infected even with the vaccines completed).

and

- those people are considered important - so cheap crappy alcohol sanitizers are not a good investment during an Olympic year.

Just today - Japan admitted they are at least considering if they should cancel the olympics or not because so many athletes have already been testing positive at home before coming or in Japan - and the games haven't even started yet.

I'm not saying CYIO sanitizers is the whole answer - but it could have been part of several methods that could have been a better answer - but we weren't selling apparently so they never even had a chance to consider us.

True honest-to-for-goodness professional sales people have a talent for seeing visionary answers that others including managements can not see.

And right now - crypto borrowing in many countries has hit some real recent obstacles because of collateral value declines and over-extended entities doing the borrowing out to crypto holders. I can't tell you how important I think it is for CYIO that we have a minimum of two or more operations that are distinct from each other - each working on making money - not just talking about it for someday in the future.

Think of it this way - you're a likely olympic athlete have worked for 6, 8,12 years to finally go to an Olympics - you have paid coaches and outfits, and practice locations - and a world focused around get into skilled and tip-top condition. Do you really want your coach or the committee - or yourself buying a $1 bottle of alcoholic sanitizer - or do you want something better. the answer was obvious to me 5 months ago.

And there are numerous other specialized categories that quality sanitizer would be desireable for too. And we are just watching boat loads of possible sales money/profits - floating right past us for lack of a skilled and visionary sales effort (low cost and targeted).

A highly trained sales/marketing effort (as we "claim" to have) should have been all over this sanitizer selling effort.

My point is - we don't have the luxury of "catching those opportunities next year" - they either won't be there, or competitors would have already locked them all up (we don't have many competitors for sanitizers like ours - but we are certainly not the only one either.
