Very insightful ...... Hopefully the LQMT sales team is encouraged to make such an effort. By whom ????

I think Steipp should have started their sales

initiative in Europe. They are more open to new ideas.

It is helpful to recall the initiatives that were made in Padua (Padova) Italy, the trade shows by Saga Plastics and the adoption by academia at the University of Padua, all of these followed up by Jack Chitayat sending Saga two machines which were rusted and infested with vermin and insects.

It takes time to reverse the adverse marketing which was made by an American who was employed by Liquidmetal who spent months making marketing inroads.

No, if you can't sell the concept of LQMT in the country in which it was developed, then you need some new management.

Remember how Steipp came up with a cute formula $100 and 100 grams...?

"We’ll start out making the parts here, qualify the alloys, the machines with the design, make sure the parts work, what the costs are, then we'll move it out to customers and CMs and then finally we'll open it up to royalty based work."

Now he's saying they are just getting around to seeing if the costing is right? What kind of bassackwards type of strategic planing is this?

We all know the answer to that. But everyone is content to give Steipp free pass after free pass, like he is the only executive in the whole world who can mangle LQMT.

I would like to give new manglement a shot at righting this ship.
Why wait for a 5 year contract to expire before we know that nothing will happen within Steipp's current tenure.

He keeps re-iterating and re-iterating that we are talking about years to get off the ground.
