[Disclaimer: The audio isn’t perfect. This is interview #2 via Skype. I’m using iShowU to record my screen. I will soon find a way to get the interviewee’s audio higher quality. In the meantime, bear with me. Feel free to ask Dave Chase follow up questions in the comments – I’ll track him down to respond.]

In the interview, I mentioned that we had a sales blitz that we were going to do the following week. That week was this past week (Election week). The short version of the outcome is that it looks like the new approach we tried was a great success. Conservatively, in 3 1/2 days of sales calls we should close revenue equal to 20% of the prior year’s revenue (the year we first achieved profitability).
