awk, please. Who says the government is the only viable prospect out there? That's ridiculous to think Wave sales people who were described to investors as having high qualifications backed by many years of experience and connections cannot sell anywhere on their own.

I find it hard to believe after 6 years, not one sales person could have gone to a company and shown how this works, how simple it is, and won an order. Repeat a few times a quarter and Wave would have more success than today.

A simple challenge to the Fortune 1000, one company at a time. However, they didn't do that. They chose to sit and watch the phone ring as SKS has stated (we get calls now and its exciting). Well how about your experienced people actually picking up the phone and calling their contact list(s) generated after years of experience?

Oh wait, I have already seen the qualifications of certain sales people on the internet at LinkedIn and believe me, they are not highly qualified.

Secondly, after speaking to them repeatedly trying TO BUY WAVE PRODUCTS FOR MY COMPANY, they told me they have never been trained on said products and couldn't help me out.

This is all fact. Not rumor. Wave sales people are a bunch of overpaid, underqualified order-takers. They don't motivate or create.

I suggest you call one yourself and get involved.

akw, speaking of layers, let's hope the addition of Inman will produce the icing on the cake and launch the company to the level we've been anticipatiing for years.

Awk...you post:

"To think that one sells a groundbreaking new technology concept to the Gov. with a few aggressive salesmen... well, it doesn't quite work that way."

I dropped this whole topic but since you want to make a remark, I'll answer.

Sorry Awk, we sold GOV exactly the way you said it can't be done and yes it was groundbreaking new tech for them. Just curious, have you ever sold to GOV or anyone else?

p.s. I counter your last statement that "it's not always as complex as many here state as acceptible excuses for so many delays".
