Cool. Can you open up a few hundred more houses for me to send
prospective customers to?
On a less facetious note, WHY do they realize it's great? Do you have
a particularly cool way of demoing the features? Do you hand them the
remote and just say "try it"? Any insight on this sudden recognition
of greatness phenomenon? I'm looking to understand the dynamic that
makes your visitors say to themselves, "Self, I want one of these and I
want it now." Because if I can bottle that, I might actually be able to
retire someday.
Exactly, because in my experience, it's not an easy sell at all. When I
show people my Squeezeboxes and tell them how they work their eyes just
sort of become blank and they start talking about the weather or
something. Part of that is probably because they know I'm technically
far ahead of them, what I use must be far ahead of them as well. Even my
technical colleagues are slow to warm up. One of them has bought a
second hand SB1 now. I know I'm not the world's greatest salesmen, but
the product is hard to explain, just check the "I've read and read"
thread by metroman. That's fairly typical and he got here because he
thought he really wanted one.

Peter
