SalesWorks Beta Bloghttp://devhero.com/blogs/salesworks_beta_blog/atom.aspxCommunity Server2007-01-31T09:27:00ZDEMO 07: Decent Demo, Great Reviews, Great People, Good Timeshttp://devhero.com/blogs/salesworks_beta_blog/archive/2007/02/04/demo-07-decent-demo-great-reviews-great-people-good-times.aspx2007-02-04T02:26:00Z2007-02-04T02:26:00Z<P>Except for a run-in with someone from Microsoft (another was a great guy, but this one wasn't), DEMO was fantastic for us. We met terrific people, like the folks from OurStory.com, PreClick, and Ink2.com. Bloggers like Graem, Mark, and Dan Farber gave great input, and a number of venture capitalists were excited by the promise of SalesWorks. So we're doing something right. </P>
<P>The coverage is below. In the meantime, the team and I will be cranking to get Beta 2 out the door, with revamped sales process, the maps integration you saw at DEMO, the pipeline, and possibly some of the advanced features planned for Pro. We are shooting to release SalesWorks Basic (or something like that) in Q2. But we're building from a solid stable code base on a great platform, so maybe sooner? ya never know.</P>

Nerves, coffee, fumes. All good. Pray to the DEMO gods. Click my heels three times. Deep breaths. 6 minutes to change everything. Chnage is good. Desktop 2.0. No, it's not about the hybrid web, it's about customers. Make it simle. Obvious. It just works. But it's cool too. I think it's going to be a great day. We'll see...check back...<img src="http://devhero.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=16" width="1" height="1">adminhttp://devhero.com/members/admin.aspx
