It has been an encouraging close to the project. Sales Direct was able to bring a couple of companies to a decision point, and have them agree to complete the introductory questionnaire. Of all the companies expressing an interest in representing Lamerholm Electronics, Logic Beach, Inc. would appear to be the most compatible.

Sales Direct also came across a number of companies from the most recent approved list that did not actually distribute but, were a driving sales force for distributors. Of these companies each was very enthusiastic about becoming a sales representative for the Shocklog. Sales Direct has found the response to the Shocklog to be generally positive and most people have given time to consider the opportunity of working with Lamerholm Electronics before making a decision whether or not to go ahead.
