RE: SDLI

This company's annual meeting is the 18th in San Jose. Are any of our threadmates in the area planning to attend. I'd really be very interested in hearing a report...and I'm guessing I'm not alone.

you need to tell the consumer what your product does, not what it is.

Those of us in sales instantly recognize that as understanding the difference between selling features and selling benefits. The fact that a tennis ball is bright green is the feature. The fact that it is easy see because it is bright green is the benefit. Customers only care about benefits, not features.

For CDMA potential voice customers, the benefits are fewer dropped calls and being able to hear the person on the other end of the transmission more clearly.
