So Patrick. I would suggest in future you hire someone from your target audience and have them involved in the decision making process at domainz. If you have already done this, then by the very fact that people like Simon, Joe and myself are having this conversation with you, they are not doing their job.
Reading the postings on this I agree with Dean. What we have is a classic business problem. + Patrick is a CEO who delivers company performance to his Board. Seems to do OK + Company product (Domain Names) is used by a high proportion of market savvy people + product is technical and is made to work by technical people + Patrick markets to the marketing people + The technical people seem to have no point of contact at Domainz To me it seems Patrick needs a permanent technical staffer who makes it work or can advise on the product, while Patrick keeps the marketing people and his Board happy. Perhaps its time the Domainz Board invested in some more staff as this area will continue to grow and unless the issues are resolved they won't go away, just get worse. rich richard.naylor(a)citylink.co.nz This mail message contains information that is confidential and which may be subject to legal privilege.
