Technick, when you bought in did you believe they would have had sales by now considering GDR themselves stated June for Sales.

Where would the harm of been in getting say just 3 or 4 clients on board giving them steady, regular orders/ revenue.

No one can say that having not one sale of a market leading product after this many months is a good strategy. You dont target just a few large players if you have a robust sales strategy, there is to much risk.

This will not get to 200p on sentiment, it needs sales and decent sales at that.

They need to start delivering what they say and stop over promising.

How long do you give the strategy before you begin to question it, another 3 months, another 6....

To have a market leading product and no sales after this many months is not great. Dates and timelines are also missed.

Dont get me wrong, I believe sales will come but you would not need to recruit lots of staff to have gotten just a number of low million plus orders out the door.

Technick, do you not feel it would have been at least prudent for GDR to have made sales to some smaller scale clients to establish sales and get revenue coming in.

The current model is all their eggs in just a few baskets which is a risky strategy. If it pays off great but is it not even a little concerning that they appear to have not made any sales and all the promises to date have failed to materialise.

I want this to come good as I'm a holder but there does seem a lack of urgency with regards to sales.

They may be aiming for bigger things but there's no certainty it will happen.

I want this to do as well as anybody but I am not blinkered to their failings over the past months.

Wheres the factual evidence for this.

Not that I've noticed.

He seemed to disappear when a few people said they had cancelled their accounts and listed him as the reason.

I feel they felt that the test would sell itself given how good it is and that in my opinion is flawed.

You can have the fourth or fifth best test but if you've got a top sales person pushing it, then you can easily out perform and stay ahead of the best.

GDR will get sales but they could have already had significant volumes if they hadn't made some of the school boy errors they have and if they would have gone out there and aggressively pushed this product.

So your saying that in the past six months they couldn't have sold anything in the UK or Europe?

Do you think they have delivered on their own expectations given some of the dates they have talked about and then missed, I dont as they have clearly over promised and under delivered.

They need to change their tact and start being more realistic with what they say and how they manage expectations.

As I say, I expect a return here as it would take some real miss-management to not sell anything but people need to realise that GDR are playing catch up when it comes to sales.

How can you say no opportunity has been missed when six months in, there's no sales.

The sales strategy here has clearly been flawed, yes, it takes time to get it right when working on a large tie up but that doesn't prevent you from selling while you lead up to it. They expected first commercial sales in June and six months later, not one sale.

I still expect GDR to give me a return on my investment but to say they've missed no opportunities is just wrong. What has stopped them getting sales, lack of sales ability?, price point wrong?, eggs in one basket?, so far they have over promised and failed to live up to it.

The trouble is some people would have invested based on the time lines GDR issued which have been woefully missed with regards to sales.

I believe they will sell the product and I remain invested so I am not deramping but the opportunity that was there has now almost certainly been missed and can not be capitalised on to it's full potential.

If you worked in sales and said sales next month or sales very soon and then 6 months later, your saying the same thing with nothing to show for it, you would not last very long in sales.

They should have targeted at least some of the low hanging fruit so to speak whilst working on the bigger opportunities in the back ground, this giving investor's confidence and the market confidence in the product. I woud hope they have learned from this and do not continue to be naive when it comes to their sales strategy but when you state, million pound sale coming in low double digits very, very soon, this has to be a matter of weeks, any longer and the credibility just gets eaten away further.

Thanks for the great insight.

Jay, you can guarantee he takes pleasure in seeing those around him miserable, he can't make a post without something negative in it.

He's clearly taken a hit here as why else be so bitter towards the company.

He claims to be in a number of other shares but spends all day on the one share he's not invested in. States he has no reason to brag and then makes claims about how well he's doing.

Dream, If the vaccine is so great, why do they need legal protection and now you can get also get compensation for side effects,

And by the way, we can now only roll out half of what we said due to logistical issues.

But still, it's all GDR's fault eh.

Dream, it was a simply update today on the progress of the test etc. The benefits from this will be felt when the sales commence next June. Can you simply not grasp that.

They could announce tomorrow that they've sold 500 million covid tests and you would put it down by saying it should have been 501 million, and before you twist what I've said, this is not me saying they will sell 500 million but no doubt that's how you will read it.

Dream, it doesn't help that you post how it is, as you put it, dozens of times a day.

Any positive news the company does release, you just twist and try and spin the negatives in everything.

Dave77, I wouldn't worry about the tone, I think it was spot on.

Dream, why would Pfizer need legal protection if this vaccine is so great.

You don't asked for legal protection if your 100% sure of your product.

The only thing laughable is the spin you peddle to suit your agenda. Why were you not giving us your great insight months ago when the price was above £1.

Dream, you seem a bit obsessed with me getting into HYVE, I find it rather weird.
