Questions Peter Clayton asked Steve Driscoll
Give me the 2 minute elevator pitch.
How long have you been online?
What is your revenue model?
What's the difference between a Silver and Gold account?
Anyone can sign-up for a free 14 day account? - Are there any restrictions?
Lets review some of the features. You have a news link which shows First Contact: Companies, First Contact: People, New Positions and News Releases. Explain to us how this works. Where do you get your information?
Next, you have a tab called Industries - an alphabetical list of industries, showing how many companies and people you have in each. Where does this information come from? Why only 16 ad agencies? In ad agencies, you have Monster Worldwide, an online job board - how did they get there?
Next - Custom search - explain to us what we can accomplish here.
I think anyone interested in Non-profits would be interested in this category - how is this organized? So I clicked on AFI - and you list nearby public companies. Why is this relevant? Where would I find the key contacts at AFI?
You've just added Lobbyists to you database. Explain to us how this will be integrated.
