Ten people on the sales meeting this morning. I was going to present a little bit on our triple play plan and show the sales folks some numbers and costs. I was planning on taking about 15 minutes. I ended up presenting for the full hour and we went over all kinds of things. We bounced between Adilas (the site), spreadsheets, graphics, word documents, and lots of conversation and drawing. Marisa was taking some notes and we had some good participation. I think that it caught a bunch of the guys and gals a little bit off guard. We went over real numbers, revenue, bad debt, expenses, servers, people costs, etc. I felt pretty good about it, but I'm not sure how it was taken or received. I got some good participation from some but some of them were completely quiet. Fun but interesting meeting.

Anyways, the triple play is a current cost increase across the board (step 1). All new sales will be trying to recoup a cost of at least $2,000 as an acquisition cost. This will include a one-time setup fee, a number of hours (between 10 and 20) for training and setup, and any other special fees or 3rd party solution covers. That is step 2, dealing with new sales. The step 3 part of our triple play is a refinement of direction and even some trimming (cutting with a purpose). Anyways, most of the meeting was explaining and getting buy in on the plan. We did lots of drawings, questions, looking at numbers, projections, graphs, etc.
