<This train of thought always amazes me....if "you can't afford to hire sales reps to build out your subscriber base"...more like you can't afford not to. Order-takers sitting and waiting for the phone to ring are much more expensive in the long run than a salesforce that is paid on performance/production. > I think many people think that sales people are some species of glib bludger and an unnecessary expense and anyone can do it. If they can't afford to get the selling done, they shouldn't waste their money on rocketfuel to put the satellites up. Do you wear Leapard Leotards [LL]? I can imagine you at a Truckstops of America site, decked out in your LL with a Globalstar phone stand selling Truck Kits with an installer ready to rush out to the truck while the trucker has a meal and chat with the others. Does Globalstar do that? It would be much more successful as a promotion than giving a Harley Davidson in a lucky draw. Your sign could say "When you are out in the wild, and could meet a leopard around any twist in the track, you'll need Globalstar to call for help - or to phone your wife to say you'll be late...". Or, in the malls [where I guess women go in the daytime], we could instal GG or some other hunky guy, decked out in one of those leopard-skin Tarzan loincloths, with a Globalstar stand and SUV kits. His sign could say "If you are in your SUV, roaming the High Sierras or malls and you get a broken camshaft, a flat tyre or tire, or run out of petrol or gas. Would you hope for Tarzan to swing out of the trees in his loin cloth or would you phone a real man with the right tools?" Somehow, I think you at TA would sell more than GG at the mall. Mqurice PS: I know a motorcyclist with a Globalstar phone, but not a Trucker, so maybe the Harley ad is the way to go [or do both].
