I downloaded the software from castlebrook last night out of curiosity.  Very interesting marketing strategy that these guys have.  They have been in "beta" for 4 years which justifies the price of $300 but does anyone see the beta change much since it was introduced in 2004 or does it seem nothing is being done and the Be One Of The First message they echo for these past 4 years seems to be a retail price since it will never go for $1200?  I'm not talking down the software, just the schemes used to market it today.  It is FREE-TO-TRY-WARE.  $300 to buy.  I can't speak to the strengths and weaknesses of the program but I recall a story of a little boy who cried wolf and this sure carrot on a stick software sales strategy surelooks like it is taking on that boys story. 

Even saw a post on here that implied the software was released into beta last year.  Here is a quote from that post:
--------------------------------
Gonna Pound The Pavement
Posted: January/28/2008 at 11:31am Then after you have been in business for a year or so keep in touchwith your customer either with reminder postcards or newsletters. I usea program that I developed that you can try out. We have been betatesting it for a year now and it is performing fantastically. Iliterally was up over 40 % in 2007 . The biggest 1 year increase in my26 years and I attribute a lot of it to jacking up my marketing to myexisting customers. ( Post Card Reminders) and sending Thank You cardson almost every job....
------------------------------------
The reason for my post here is to bring the thread forward so people can see how long the same sales line has been used.

By the way, if you are a user of the software please tell us: is this program and its support any good?  Noticed the platform it was built on is at version 9 now so wondering if the software still looks like a Windows 3.1 application or does it have a XP/Vista modern look and feel?

Is it worth the $300 retail price tag?  Any word on the proposed non-beta release that was scheduled for this past winter or is Kenny doing the scheduling?

The trial TEST version is back on the website for review only. We are
looking for people willing to work with us on completing the final test run
of the software by committing to Beta Test the software. This testing
allows you to work with the test version before anyone else and purchase
it for 300.00 instead of the release price of over 1200.00 or more. So
there is a cost.

We are looking for those that are in need of a great software program and
are willing to do a little communicating and critiquing to save some
serious money.

We are not putting this online to get public criticism. The download
agreement states that you agree not to PUBLICLY criticize this software
as we are just developing it and need some slack to make
improvements so as to put out a powerful and useful product.

If you are interested in checking out the software and abiding by the
above conditions please Private message me and we will visit offline

Thanks for your patience.

Gordie

I have had the chance to use this software from Gordie for about 8 months now and it is awsome. you can customize every area of the program so it fits your operation. i encourage everyone to at least download it and try it out, you have nothing to lose

Thanks again Gordie

Any response guys, I'd like to have you have a chance to see the software
at least. What happens in the process that you are going throw???

We have downloaded several times since then and others have been
downloading sucessfully also so I need to have some more specifics in
order to trouble shoot what's going on for you.

Anyone else download so far email me at danmarck82@bis.midco.net
and let me know how it turned out ! Thanks ]]> Thu, 25 Nov 2004 00:04:55 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=715&PID=11106&title=software#11106
