So that's 2016.
And then we start getting some good business.
And then we start looking, okay, now how do we build a real company?
Because now we're cash positive.
We can hire more people, but we don't have a real business.
When you talk to VCs, it's like,
ridiculous product that you do is a hobby.
So we're looking for other opportunities to do something and we found these people called inbound SDRs.
So I said, what is your job as an inbound SDR?
I said, you've seen on the website when people come to request a demo, they submit a form, they get a thank you page, they say thank you, somebody's going to call you.
Well, it's my job and I call them to book the meeting.
And I said, that's great.
How is that going for you?
And they say, it's going great.
I'm converting at 40%.
And I thought, you mean to say that 100 people asked for a demo and 60 of them didn't get it?
And the reason why they thought it was great is because the outbound guys convert at 1%, right?
They go for people.
But of course, people never ask for a demo.
It was nuts.
