The reason press people even take a meeting with me is because I have a track record. When I started SAR no one knew who I was and I didn’t get any attention from the press for at least six months.

The fact is the press isn’t that important… product is most important. Make great product and people will use it. The press just gives you a little head start. If your product sucks people won’t use it… the press just gets you the first wave.
