Regarding the 15% example, did they not want to lower the rate because they decided it was worth it or they were afraid to piss off the sales people? If it is the latter, there is a work around. Sales people hold their percentages tightly a

You are asking for a sales guy but describe a CEO, co-founder or even an advisor. The sales guy isn't best suited for bringing on investors. Don't listen to the people who say don't bring on a sales guy. Most people haven't done it right in

I have started deciding on stock answers for the common questions that are not true. So when it asks my first pet, I know my answer is "Toyota1776" or "1keep2on3rockin4" (Not my real answers, obviously.)

I don't know, you saw people being successful doing something that your product does. You were validated. Maybe it would have been better to post this on the product blog but I am behind you on this.

I don't usually want to post, "me too" posts but... I really miss the comment scores. Sometimes I am not totally familiar with whatever the original post is talking about, often the top rated couple of comments give me some good insight or

"Apple is not storing the device’s location, it’s storing the location of the towers that the device is communicating with." Oh come on. That's like saying, "I'm not laughing AT you, I'm laughing NEAR you."

Of course. A couple reasons. If I am not totally familiar with whatever the original post is talking about, often the top rated couple of comments give me some good insight or jumping off points to look into it further. Again if this is som

Great idea but you really need a dummy demo account or even a brief video to show what it does. I don't give out my email address lightly.

A lot of the comments on this and other submissions blow this off as another lame attempt. But DLA Piper is not rookie law firm and if they actually are as confident as they say they are in this case, it is going to be interesting to watch.

Be careful with this tactic. It is easy to have all your time sucked away by people who are easier to reach and convince because they have no influence. Expect to have a high level of non-producers but if a couple work out well you are in g

Not at all. I can see many instances where an "upvote" is a stamp of approval--almost like applause. Discussion is not always necessary.

I think they are a great tool, they will find their niche and be used sometimes, others not. Too often the media seems to think something new has to be either the next big, giant thing or they are a failure.
