Marshall, Very informative Post, I even learned the following: - Introduction to the Inacom Sales Division Thank you for your interest in the Sales Division of Inacom Information Systems of Oklahoma. Inacom Information Systems is part of the national Inacom, Inc. organization featuring over 1,600 locations. - Yes RACE Fans, per the above, Inacom appears to have "1,600 LOCATIONS", not personnel as has been indicated previously in several posts on the thread (including yours Marshall)!! Wonder how many total personnel in the organization??? - Also, No wonder: - Ben needs that Sales / Marketing CD - Telesource is looking for additional Installers - DR needed 8 Million for BT Ramp-Up!!! - IMO, CM is appearing inevatible!!!

>>>We have also heard they (Telsource) recently found it necessary to begin hiring additional installation personnel due to an unexpected demand for BT installations.<<< I was under the impression that they were training more of their "existing" personnel on BT, not necessarily hiring more people. Either way, it indicates that demand is increasing.

Marshall. you said " I believe Telesource is handling the bulk of the installations, yada, yada, yada..." I hate to be cynical, but come on, "the bulk"? What bulk? It's not as if they're installing multiple servers/day. Heck, you or I could handle "the bulk" of the installations; part time, on one weekend each month considering they've only sold/trialed somewhere between 12 and 24 systems TOTAL to date! I hope those Inacom reps get trained soon. What's taking so long? Finally, if/when RACE bags that $1M sale, what do they do nect? I hope they have a sales opportunity funnel that contains many $1M opportunities, not just one. Of course, a whole bunch of $250K orers would also be nice!
