Thanks for the response Rebecca - but here's one big issue - all of your beta testers share one big demographic factor - they are all auto company employees who are part of the vehicle program who live in SE Michigan..Our employees not only volunteered to beta test, but they were also chosen at random from the list of volunteers. We did have some employees decline, but that's to be expected. With the holidays coming up, people tend to travel and they knew they wouldn't be giving us a fair evaluation of the software if they only used it for a day or two.
To do this effectively you need to have a more diverse population - people from different geographies, walks of life, ages, technology, and uses of technology. People like Loganfilm and his iPhone with 6,000 contacts, and my friend's 60+ year old wife are using your software, that population needs to be included as well, not just 30 - 55 year old auto execs with a fleet vehicle.
