RE:RE:John Chen the only CEO to turnaround 3 companies

RE:RE:John Chen the only CEO to turnaround 3 companies the problem seems to be that BB can tell everyone and their dog that they have the best software, it's just not translating into sales. other than those who really need it and are willing to pay for it (government agencies, banks, space ships, etc). The companies that need it are willing to pay the premiums for BB products. But that is not hte case with small and mid-sized businesses, the types of companies that our competitors are able to sell and grow by leaps and bounds. 

With the economy the way it is, SMB's are struggling with inflation/costs and so cost is also factored into their cyber decision making. BB has the best software (Betamax's were also better than VHS's but that meant nothing, other than  to age myslf big time with VRC comments haha) but that needs to start translating into sales, especially given their headcount push in the sales department a couple quarters ago. 

I'm not denying that BB's future isn't bright, but they have work to do on the cyber front until the true revenue growth begins and that won't happen until IVY revenues start being recognized. It's been a long, frustrating endevour being long-time long BB.
