Steven G.

This quarter was a milestone for us as we rolled out our nationwide telecom offering, including our home state of Arizona. As a result of this roll out, we had telecom bookings of over $800,000 this quarter. We are starting to see the progress we were seeking in our hiring process as we have seen improved success with our recent new hires and believe we will have improved retention rates going forward. As of today we have 24 direct sales representatives selling both our web services and our telecom offerings, which is flat with the prior quarter with several more representatives in the pipeline. We are building sales momentum and expect continued improvements.
I continue to be impressed with how our products and services continue to improve and develop. I am absolutely convinced we are focused on the right market segment and know our products and services can compete with anyone's. Our primary job continues to be to grow and develop our sales teams, and I am confident with the changes we have made that we will be able to attract and retain quality sales representatives to sell the highest quality products. We are working toward expanding our product offerings to include other cloud based services, with the continued goal of creating a sustainable recurring revenue model."
