			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I wrote up my experiences at <a href="http://blog.stronico.com/2010/02/a-successful-evening-at-startup-atlanta/" target="_blank">StartUp Atlanta</a>, and the good people at <a href="http://www.coremotives.com/" target="_blank">Core Motives</a> were kind enough to send me a few corrections to wit (they wrote these in the comments) -</p>
<blockquote><p>1) Actionable:</p>
<p>a) Sales: detecting the interaction of a prospect who is in a stalled sales opportunity, and pinging the salesperson’s Blackberry, in real time, that they need to call the prospect</p>
<p>b) Marketing: real-time revenue reporting from Google AdWord campaign clicks</p>
<p>* Corporate Purchasing: Pricing starts at $99/m; below the radar of corporate purchasing</p>
<p>* Pricing: simple consumption model with 3 tiers<br />
* Remarkability: “Enables your business to detect, track and target potential customers”</p></blockquote>
<p><span id="more-220"></span>-Regarding actionability &#8211; I have always thought that the missing information link in sales is not timeliness but rather the lack of product knowledge on the part of the salesperson, a problem which is not solvable via web applications.  Timelyness has seldom been a problem for me when dealing with salespeople.  I could quite easily be wrong about that.</p>
<p>-Regarding corporate purchasing &#8211; God willing $99 a month is below the purchasing radar of purchasing departments, but I was under the impression that ongoing charges tended to be handled by purchasing departments.</p>
<p>- Regarding pricing &#8211; I&#8217;m quite draconian on judging pricing &#8211; an ongoing charge is more complicated than a one-time fee, and 3 prices is more complicated than one price.  I do realize that not all products are capable of having a single price.  For what it&#8217;s worth, the current plan for Stronico will be a single price on a recurring basis.</p>
<p>- Regarding remarkability &#8211; I stand largely corrected on that.  I would mention that web app part of it in my description though.</p>
