I appreciate your enthusiasm, and I cannot fault your logic. However, I would counter that by asking you to envision a world where SFOR has its own dedicated sales force, with bonuses and quotas and pipelines, and dare I say it; ACCOUNTABILITY. That is something these channel partners do not have, and one would argue, neither does Mark. If SFOR had a sales team with a list of the Fortune 500, and made it a goal to get their products in front of a decision-maker in the IT department in each of those companies, it would FORCE SFOR's products in front of thousands of employees, instead of one employee who might, or might not, show their EndpointLock-enabled phone to some low level IT tech at their small company during a lunch break. This is a numbers game. It's math, not magic. And waiting for channel partners to sell SFOR products, which may or may not be competing with OTHER company's products that these channel partners may or may not be selling, is lunacy. SFOR-branded salespeople, with SFOR products, should be pounding the pavement and hitting the phones. Forget Fortune 500 companies; start with just hospitals! They have an enormous need for security, and many of them are even moving to blockchain record keeping systems. This is a NO BRAINER!!! I have zero formal training in marketing and only limited training and experience in sales, but c'mon!!! Channel partners are fine, but in 17 years, they've gotten us a PPS of $0.0018. Tableau is being bought by SalesForce for $177.88 per share! Why? Because Tableau created a corporate philosophy centered around their salespeople, and did not rely on other companies to go out and sell their products. We should not wait for "Time will tell if some of these folks become our customers." SFOR should be shouting from the mountaintops about how amazing and NECESSARY these products are, and shouting to the biggest corporations who have the most to lose from a data breach. Ask British Airways! The GDPR is nothing to sneeze at! SFOR has the answer and none of these companies know anything about SFOR!
Sitting back and waiting has done nothing, and one could argue is a symptom of laziness. It is sad Mark is so old and tired, but still cannot be replaced because of the share structure. Common shareholders have no power, and we will suffer until something extraordinary happens. I cannot wait to eat my words, but I am not holding my breath. I will gladly retract my statements if I'm proven wrong, but I firmly believe I won't have to.
