Well – seven weeks isn’t very long to go after things if you are passionate about it.  I don’t know enough about your specific business – but I encourage you to use the notion of “fail fast” to challenge your assumptions.  You aren’t going to be successful at 1 customer per day.  So – why do you think you are only getting 1 per day?  Try some different things and see if they work.  If they don’t, “fail fast” on the specific ideas and keep trying.

Yup – thanks for the suggestion.  Sugar is a good one.

Yup – I totally remember.  While it was a few years ahead of what really inspired me to take action, your case was one of the first that I directly encountered.

Yeah - I know. I'm just more amused by the silliness and persistence of some of the ads.

Congrats – great story!

Definitely of use.

That’s a longer and very frustrating story that has a happy ending nine months later.

Re: “revering women in technology” – that’s only one small part of what NCWIT does.  One of the common issues is “not enough role models” and this particular set of interviews addresses that.  That said, take a look at http://www.ncwit.org to see the variety of other things they are doing to address the issue.

Yes it does – happy to hear there stories.

I’m chairman of National Center for Women & Information Technology (http://www.ncwit.org) and would love to have you involved.  Just drop me an email.
