He lost me at the real estate example, and now I don't know if I can trust anything in the article.
Selling to agents on a per-transaction basis does not make sense to agents. It just means it will cost MORE in the long run than what they could just pay up front.
So why not an example that he KNOWS works? Does he even have one? Is he just guessing at everything? The author needs to qualify his statements because his example was way off base.
- jpwagner 17y agoThe example makes sense, but it's not explained well. Remember that he gave no specifics of what the software does. Suppose the software is for calculating commissions and stores the data on a centralized server. Now suppose they charge by how much data you store. This would be the "variable price" he tries to portray and the price would be somewhat correlated with number of sales which may appeal to some agencies.
- dshah 17y agoYeah, sorry about that example. There were much betters ones out there that I could have used (but it was likely late, and I was too lazy to try and come up with them at the time).
