“I love this company”, Steve Ballmer - CEO of Microsoft, on stage with tears in his eyes (2013).
I do too. I love Sharp Shape since it is the one and only company I had in my entire life. I will bring it to as high as I could. They do this for their share-holders, while we do this for our passion. It is not just the income that attracts us; it is the passion.
If you choose to have our system installed in your lab, we gurantee to send a PhD to set it up. “Do I need that?” Of course you do, in order to get quality and innovasion. More than 80 systems out there were set up by a PhD, why not yours?
An Old Story
Can you imagine how much AOMS was used? You must have some experience with the keyboard. When you use a keyboard a lot, the top of the keys will become shiny by rubbing and punching. What happens if you keep using it? The letter on the key will gradually faint away and the key become blank. What happens if you still keep using it? The plastic key will be worn through (with a hole on it). Ten years ago, I set up the AOMS system for a large lab. A couple of years ago, I revisited them on an upgrade, I was amazed by the look of the four arrow keys being used. They were blanks. The operator told me that they have replace six keyboards, and every one of them had holes on the arrow keys. Imagine that! We don’t charge royalties. The more you use the system, the more you benefit from it. Someone must have the impression that AOMS is used for large labs. That is a myth. By configuring the system with a low-cost router, you are able to reduce the cost on the system a lot. As result, AOMS is also suitable for some podiatrist/pedorthist groups and shoe stores if you have reasonable volume of production. Please contact us if you are interested.
On Another Note
It happened in a day in November 2008. I was called to meet a potential customer in downtown San Jose. The meeting was on short notice and the customer only had a small window of opportunity to meet me. I rushed downtown, but I had a hard time finding parking near the meeting. Finally, I found meter parking by the street. After I parked there, I found that I didn’t bring any cash. While I was hesitating, an old pan-handler offered help. She lent me four quarters. When I took money from her shaking and dirty hands, I felt quite moved. I promised to pay her back after the meeting. After the meeting I withdrew some cash. I came back to the parking location, but I couldn’t find the pan-handler. Although it was only a dollar and I could walk away, I felt an obligation to find her. I knew she was not too far away so I searched several blocks and finally found her. I returned the money with my gratitude. We never walk away from our obligations. We don’t reduce our obligations because you are too young, too old, disabled, or are new to the technology. This is how serious we mean business.
