Sorry, but what's the point of this blog post? Maybe this article is somewhat more valuable (for a start-up). http://online.wsj.com/article/S60519BORZO.html "Software tools and online services that ... generate[s] sales leads without the usual legwork and the often-inefficient cold calling. "

Sure a numbers game, but I know from experience there are people 10x+ better than others at cold calling. Its tough to make one adwords campaign that much better than another.

What the heck, dude. If you're going to shill like that, mention the URL in your comment or at the VERY LEAST put it in your bio.

(Not that I'm upset that you're mentioning your product, but it was a successful mention that otherwise fails if you don't provide a way for folks to find out more.)
