Subject: Re: [motm] The end of the long lead time?

70 modules/year?  Really?  And there's still a backlog?

In a previous email you gave a breakdown of different customer types: those with a large number of purchases, and those with only one or two.  Have you ever done a poll of the latter group to find out why they were not repeat customers?  Find that out, and fix it.  The one time buyer is more important to figuring out what's wrong with SynthTech, then the faithful MOTMer. Some of those people were very likely to become repeat customers.  Unfortunately, there's no way to recover all the lost customers who thought they'd build a MOTM system, but realized it would never happen in a reasonable time, and moved on to another format.

business will ever "take off" like it did between 2000-2004 when I was
selling 1200 modules/year. Right now I'm selling about 70 modules/year. See
my dilemma?
