Today is the day.......
Today is the day that will determine if RackShack continues this $1 setup fee:

Our sales during this sale have exceeded my expectations and are approaching our goal of 800 for the week.
Sales for Monday and Tuesday were approximately 500 total.
My goal for the sale in total was 800 while my expectation was about 350-500.
Here's my promise: If our sales exceed the goal by at least 50, meaning over 850 sales for the week, I will hold the sale over until Monday July 7th.
If during the period of July 1 to July 7th, we sell twice as many servers as we did during that same period in June, I will hold it over through the end of July.
It is my personal opinion that from a financial perspective it simply does not pay to waive setup fees. However, I am willing to be proven wrong.
To make no setup fees pay, we would need to do a little more than double the normal sales to preserve cash flow, as our setup fees average a little more than one month's service.
So, to everyone out there that says Rackshack should not have setup fees .... here's your chance to make an impression on me.
If the July1 to July 7 sales are at least double, that would mean the sale would be extended through teh end of July.
At the end of July, I woudl do an analysis with our financial team of the impact, positive or negative, on cash flow as well as customer churn/upgrades, and see what place a $1 setup has in Rackshack's future.

I welcome a discussion in the "General Comments" section regarding my proposal.

We have staff on hand to deal with all incoming orders, please bear with us we are working hard to ensure that every order is fullfilled, I say this just in case as this has been one of our biggest weeks to date in the history of RackShack. The current offerings apply to all existing and new customers as well.
Thank you again for your continued support during this tremendous growth.
Thank you,Last edited by MarioR; 06-27-2003 at 11:25 AM.

5 days would have been "06-28-2003 09:04 PM" NOT "06-27-2003 04:15 PM".^^ IM WITH STUPID!! ^^
