Hi Paul,
Thanks again for coming to LiNC and giving all of us a perspective on what we're doing. As Peter said very eloquently, I think you helped our customers understand that they're part of a movement that's bigger than themselves. We try to tell them that, but out of our mouths it's somewhat self-serving. And we're not as eloquent. But people that I spoke with felt a renewed sense of mission -- and that's a great feeling for everyone.
One interesting thing from your write-up:
"Additionally Lithium doesn??????t see itself as a product company but more a services company who has a platform to build communities with."
If I understand this correctly, I think you mean that rather than selling a technology as such, we work with our customers to ensure that they get the business outcomes they seek. If so, spot on.
I would not want your readers to come away with the impression that we're a body shop intent on billable hours. Paid services in the traditional enterprise software sense (or in the agency sense) are a very small part of our revenue mix.
We really do think of ourselves and our model as a different kind of company than has existed before, though we struggle to find the right brief descriptor. Any help on that would be appreciated!
Cheers,
Phil
