Is our $VERB ripening itself for a buyout? In t
Post# of 32629
In this ever changing business climate, diversify to prosper seems to be the path...staying stagnant and others will most definitely pass you by.
Companies are looking to make significant changes to their platforms, especially in the ultra competitive and crowded Tech sector.
The behemoths in the industry, are expanding at a breakneck pace, adding features and capabilities designed to appeal to a wider customer base and satisfy new client desires and needs.
The ongoing transformation to the “New Normal” is with us now, and for the foreseeable future….expansion of company software platform capabilities is in overdrive.
SAAS, CRM, Analytics, MLM, Sales Enablement, Webinar, Interactive Video, Virtual anything and everything… and all the seamless, user friendly bells and whistles associated with them.
Everyone wants new innovative, game changing software technology to enhance their portfolio and garner greater customer satisfaction and an increased user base.
Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Alphabet, Alibaba, Amazon, Salesforce, Oracle / Netsuite, SAP, Adobe / Marketo, Cisco, Zoom, Hubspot, and Shopify…..are just a few that might love adding to their software portfolios.
...and our $VERB would most certainly fit the bill.
Ever increasing, large, extremely satisfied user base.
Ramped up International expansion, into the top overseas markets.
Outstanding executive team, workforce, and BODs...impressive groups of not only highly qualified and skilled, but also committed, and loyal individuals, collaborating to achieve monumental common goals.
Patented, copyrighted, innovative, and game-changing suite of software applications.
6 Key Financial Indicators Of Attractive Acquisition Targets...Forbes

Quote:
“...To summarize the report’s findings, private companies are more likely to become acquisition targets if they are large, fast growing, and have high profitability, high leverage, and low liquidity, while public companies are more likely to become acquisition targets if they are small, fast growing, and have low profitability, low leverage, low liquidity, and low valuations... ”
Are we positioning ourselves as a company to be a prime target for an acquisition...certainly Rory’s track record dictates that’s a strong possibility.
As a former poker player, I used “tells” very successfully...subtle signs, and sometimes rather blatant, that gave signals to the observant, about what play an opponent would make with a particular hand held.
Indicators as to what the future holds.
Seeing that my card days are over, I still manage to put my acquired knowledge to some other insignificant use in other avenues… financial decision making and investing being a couple.
What does our future hold….as long standing resilient, patient, persevering , EXCITED $VERB co-owners?
IMO, Rory, Team $VERB and associates, have offered up a few “tells”, that might indicate what direction our company is headed, and where their focus is, as far as future developments are concerned.
Just a few thoughts:
1. The overriding desire and focal point, to get the software “right” from the start, and not rush it to market. One sweet decision, that I happen to strongly agree with, and so would a potential suitor.
A crucial lynchpin to success. Get the applications to work flawlessly from the get-go...no bugs, glitches or snafus to deal with out of the gate.
$VERB LIVE, currently in Beta Testing, and Rory detailing in the May 18th call, “Behind the scenes, we are building an entirely new platform from the ground up” , demonstrates an overwhelming desire to design and produce transformative, cutting edge, disruptive products that the world will eventually embrace and regularly use….
….and, entirely plausible, that the Tech Sector Market Cap leaders, would love to call their own.
VERB EARNINGS CALL MAY 18th NEW PLATFORM EDGAR ….An eyeopening important read.

So we’ve just begun rolling out this program. And because each application for each of our large enterprise users is a white-labeled application, it’s customized for them.
When we roll out these kind of features, we need to do it each client at a time. So we’ve got a handful of them now implemented along with some other really, really, really cool features like Magic Link and some of the things that we’ve talked about that enhance penetration.
But we have to do that 1 client at a time. So we’ve got a handful of them now. And I would say, by third quarter, we should probably have all of them now on the same in-app — with the same in-app purchase capability and that store rolled out.
So that’s the current schedule.
Now I will tell you this. Behind the scenes, we are building an entirely new platform from the ground up, and that will mean several things.
First, people that want to have a customized white-labeled application won’t need to use our services to go ahead and customize it for them.
They’ll be able to do it themselves online, choosing what features and functionality they like, uploading their logos, completely self-service model.
That will accelerate revenue generation for us because more people will be interested in doing that. And it will also accelerate revenue recognition for us.
Right now, as I mentioned, it could be as much as 3 months from the time we sign a contract before we can actually recognize that revenue. So that’s going to really make a big difference there.
And the other benefit, which goes to your question, is when we roll out a new feature such as the in-app purchase capability, it will impact every app, every user, all of our clients, all at the same time. So we won’t have that gradual rollout process that we currently have right now. So that’s changed dramatically.
2. Long term rock solid PROTECTED product line. We’ve designed and developed SAAS CRM, Interactive Video Sales Enablement, Analytics, and LIVE applications that no one else has...with patents, copyrights, and trademarks in place, and others on the way.
This holds significant weight in the eyes of long shareholders, and any company considering a buyout offer to us. Again, we’ve got the goods, the others don’t….and won’t!!
3. Insiders see the whole picture, and they’re rock solid behind the business model and direction we’re headed. Employees exchanging salary for shares, along with increased numbers of new hires, indicates the $VERB workforce is extremely confident in the current business model, holding high confidence in the company’s ultimate prospects for huge success.
As a co-owner holding a substantial position, I’m thrilled about our state of affairs concerning $VERBS strong Human Resource environment, management and practices.
When workplace satisfaction, and employee stability abounds, coupled with negligible turnover in a company ripe as an M & A target...the Tech giant looking to expand, would add another check mark to their strategic evaluation.
4. The scarcity of advertising initiatives, product awareness campaigns, and substantial marketing expenditures might indicate that the day to day share price is not of an overriding concern at this point in the companies growth...and if that’s the case, I’m on board entirely, with that corporate decision and course of action.
I don’t care what the $VERB SP is each trading session...the yoyo price fluctuations mean nothing to me in the whole picture. The flippers and traders can play their games, count their pennies after short term gains….and wash, rinse, and repeat their bullshit without it phasing me.
For people that ask why the stagnation….look no further than the plethora of idiots that work the aforementioned trading tactics. At some point, they’ll get burnt, big-time……..karma is king.
As our product roll-out continues towards official launch, the eyes of potential deep pockets, and institutions will become more aware of us...with the largest players in the industry, potentially eying the company as an acquisition target.
When the time is right, and it’s not now , $VERB publicity efforts will ramp up tremendously. That’s when we’ll see major daily trading volume increases that foretell our future success story coming together.
Will outsiders take notice and be impressed? Hell, yes!!
All factors that will undoubtedly put $VERB on the radar screen of other market leaders, as an ultra attractive M & A target.
