Sent emails to all your past customers letting them know that if they need you, you're available? Maybe it's time to start your own semiconductor company -- figure out what's missing from the TinyLogic lineup (a decent 3-state phase comparator would be my first choice), make it, and sell it. -- Tim Wescott Control system and signal processing consulting www.wescottdesign.com |

Sent emails to all your past customers letting them know that if they need you, you're available? During High School years, I had a night time job delivering Pizzas. During really slow periods, we got creative. A look at the previous month's orders gave phone numbers and addresses. We'd call the numbers to confirm a non existent order. These calls triggered an impulse to buy in about forty percent of the people called. Apologies were given to all for the 'mix up' in the receipt boxes. It's not something I'm particularly proud of having done....the need for disposable cash made it happen.

It's astonishing how much business you can get from a few important people who like you. I just hired two kids, one male MSEE from around here, one female BSEE who recently graduated from a college in Mexico. Both are smart and nice and seem to have really good analog instincts, but training them of course takes more time than doing things myself; it's an investment. |
