Thanks a lot, Max. Scheduled for update.


Apowell, Awesome thought, thank you soo much. We tried to minimize quantity of team members and other items in plans so that we have capacity to add them up after application release. Right now all plans are free and there is no limitation on features. I've already added a task to create one more banner that says "Beautiful proposals in minutes. Check what your clients will get" linking to a live example of web based proposal. Again, really appreciate your feedback.


Thanks a lot for checking out Quote Roller. Here are some benefits: 1) Team work on a proposal 2) Ability to track client's activity 3) Ability to interact with a client 4) (in new release) Clients can sign proposal online 5) (in new release) integrations with popular tools [freshbooks, SalesForce, HighRise] 6) (in new release) mobile version

... and just in general... software is going to loose to saas. It is just more convenient to use web based apps.


OK, that's great, thanks. If those points are pitched on the landing page all the better to convert customers I am sure.


I've been trying to do what you are doing just a month ago. I actually flew over to US to meet with potential candidates. Some of them needed base salary, some were willing to work on % basis. I would advise finding guys that really know what your business is about. If your startup rocks, sales people will start knocking your doors.


btw, I just added you in LinkedIn


Hi Dan, You can partner up with startups that are really hungry for reviews and exposure... just like us www.quoteroller.com :) A little blog post and paragraph about our app won't hurt while would be happy to pay a little fee for it.


Honestly, "a little blog post and paragraph" is a lot more than I'd offer. But you should look into http://hackernewsletter.com


Thanks for the mention Dan. Yeah, one day that is something I want to do more of... but still growing my subscriber list now. Getting subscribers, even with great content, has been the biggest surprise to me running a newsletter. You have done a great job getting to 3,500... that is no easy feat!


Have you checked Rackspace cloud? They are extremely cheap comparing to other cloud-based solutions.
