Subject: Re: 56K / X2 pricing
We would like to charge maybe a $10 premium per month... but our
competitors aren't so we're locked.
Another possibility. Why aren't we ALL (has to be ALL) giving 60 days
free support to a new signup and then charging $20 a call for it. We get
people who want endless tech support over the long term,... because they
"clean-up" their hard disk among other reasons.
Tech support is a profit killer in this bus.
Any thoughts out here ?
