Here we go, explained by Blackhawks

"Doesn't JUNE 1 also mean we can test which are paying customers by seeing if they are operating on GO800? The ones not signed on yet should not be in operation...correct?"

No, incorrect. I've just confirmed with GOIG Administration
that those with reserved brand and key words not signed to contracts by June 1 will NOT have their GOIG 'test words' deactivated.

No elaboration, but agreement from Administration that my observation that it's going to take more time for many companies to make a decision is accurate.

So now we're down to individual Ambassador initiative and sales creativity. I can't place an artificial time constraint/deadline on my 'brands', after all those brands belong to the branded company. Will I deactivate them and place them back into the 'pool' to perhaps be picked up by another Ambassador when the timing is better? Not bloody likely if I think it's more a question of when rather than if!

As for generic 'key words', there we have some leverage. "Not going to sign? I've got companies waiting in line who've indicated they want those words if they become available". Maybe I do maybe I don't. It's up to me to create a sense of urgency/competitiveness.

That will be easier if we have some national brands or competitors in the same industry
with key words in some area codes, but not in the prospect's area code(s).
At $10K/mo, relatively few non-national companies are going to want to lock up a national generic key word, let alone several. I see metro and regional opportunities though.
