Step 3 - Form Conclusions
(what’s the name of that method again?)

27.
Software sucks!
“My contact list went crazy! Contacts got
duplicated in crazy rate to the degree my
phone stopped working. Its unfortunate, as
I really like your service, but still buggy!
Good luck and will be waiting till you fix
these issues.”
“Nothing worked. I lost over 100 contacts
by switching to this.”

28.
If you’re going to charge on a monthly basis,
you need to show and prove value daily.
