One big problem for Verb is Rory continues to talk about success that will be, rather than being able to reveal in what is and what was. Sure they've taken on new client and revenue, but it's lost to the noise of spending and financing. It's the same behavior several years running. Promises with marginal value results.

As a friend used to say, "If it's 50 to 10 at half time, it's time to reevaluate your game plan." I believe this can be fixed, they have traveled a long challenging road, but the funds to journey further are getting more scarce without some real success in the form of big revs. They've been around more than 5 years, time for the books to go black.

thanks. After all of this time, why would Verb release the product to the Salesforce world without it being 'enough'?

It doesn't make sense to me, and I think the more reasonable conclusion is that it simply isn't an attractive enough product to the Salesforce world. And give the size of that market, that's really alarming and depressing..surely SOME of them would embrace it and if it was working for them the word would spread - maybe slowly at first, but within months - rapidly. The stories we hear BEFORE market launches NEVER seem to pan out AFTER market launches. Why? It can't be because the product was missing enhancements.

Sure, the enhancements may help, but I've always believed if they really have something that at its core satisfies a meaningful and significant unmet need, the proof would be out there already.

And the sales they say they now are seeing would be announced on a regular basis - revealing the acceleration of adoption. But there continues to be no sign of that in the real world from what I've always seen, and continue to see.

This "hang on we have what will FINALLY be 'enough' to reveal the disruption" is a tired carrot on the stick theme.

Keep hoping, and I'll keep watching for something to actually 'stick'.
