The skeptic in me can use my cell phone calculator app to count the number of times over the past 25 years I have heard someone announce their new lead retrieval product was a 'game-changer' and used the story about the pitiful rate at which exhibitors respond to trade show leads as the reason (and the game changing answer) for their particular new product. Like my Mom used to say, 'the proof is in the pudding'. When the iLeads game changing app is finally released (April Fools day is the target release date right?) and someone starts using it at a show, and then a year later when the number of downloads is published by Apple, then we should have a game-changing party. Maybe at ExpoExpo 2010? Love ya Lew for trying something new and different in a fairly staid industry and I for one wish you all the luck in the world with your ‘game-changing’ product.
