Yeah, it definitely seems as though walking in to the businesses dressed nicely and giving an engaging demo has been a big part of our success. We plan to do some phone-only sales and see how those metrics compare, and then hopefully with the money we can get some people with actual sales experience (none of us have any background in sales). We're also planning on experimenting with some kind of referral system for advertising, where anyone can make a quick $100 if they can convince the local pizza shop to put up an advertisement. Of course, this opens up a whole slew of other issues, but it's something we're going to experiment with if phone sales proves ineffective.
And yeah, the 150-school roll-out is divided by region, they're all primarily west-coast schools, and we plan to launch at a large school and then follow with all the smaller schools in the surrounding areas, just because their markets will overlap and it'll make our work easier.
