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.
