The 1% of the population you are talking about needs 20 years before adding to the economy. The results will be visible once they will enter the market.

I agree I could handle this better. To my defense after handling a few hundred emails, sales messages, comments etc. my brain was melting. I was prepared for everything, besides hijacking my thread for self-promotion. My reaction obviously

You can get a mobile phone for people that work for a company, or for a division (if it is a different entity). There is quite a lot of companies providing that data.

I think we should not generalize in any way this. There are people that need this, and there are people that don't need this. As simple as that. Most of my customers are startup owners, where they need another form of validation before

I have mentioned it previously, I can target people working in a company in an office building and try to reach to them. So yeah, there is a good chance I will be able to do so.

This is a research project, so there is a certain amount of trust required. Also with most reports, you get very specific comments as well. Suggestions, critique, insider information. This can give you an idea of how targeted is the audienc
