We thought we found a gap in the market where we could fit in, so we looked at a bunch of the services which were existing in the market, and we designed our own product offering, back in 2012.

Our customers benefitted from this and saved thousands over the years as a result. But later in 2011, new customers slowed, appointment bookings slowed and average appointment time dropped. In May of 2012, sales dropped drastically. I personally guaranteed these loans, because I believed we could not fail. I was wrong.

Scott Cannon: We started in 2012, when it was basically a couple of people on a telephone and the yellow pages. From a customer standpoint, though, it's pretty clear. So, from the customer side, it was much easier. We'll also be doing significant enhancements to our customer portal. So where are you now?

That means that people addicted to text messages, twitter, and email may be sending only half the message, and receivers often misinterpret even that half.
