"Can jnovek can do some of lloydarmbrust's work so that lloyd can get more time to sell and/or survive at his current job?"
This is a discussion that we haven't had and should. There may be things that I can do to optimize Lloyd's lunch-hour selling.
As far as me doing sales, I am an awful salesman and Lloyd is a very skilled and accomplished salesman. The difference between us is like night and day.
"Forgive my forwardness, but it's my sense that you don't have a financing problem, but rather, a pricing problem."
Keep in mind that we haven't yet developed a novel product -- we are still entering spaces that are occupied by other providers. We have big plans for some novel stuff, but right now we need to cover a few salaries.
While we ARE competing on product quality, most of what makes us competitive is price. Low-price alternatives are very attractive to newspapers right now as their ad revenue continues to decrease steadily. We try to negotiate the maximum price that we think a publication will bear.
