I know some of you had signed up for clear root. I was wondering what your experieces with them had been. Are you happy with your choice? They have been calling me and I am unsure about it. thanks in advance!!

I haven't been in the shop much since we signed up. Lack of volume and compatibility with our POS lead to eventually cancelling our account.
That said, I do think clearRoot is worthwhile for smaller shops who don't want the politics or fees of the bigger services. The staff at cR were always first rate, and their software is easy to install and use.
I see very little reason not to try cR for a couple months, since their pricing is so reasonable.

I'm still a member but the coverage just isn't there in the US yet. I haven't canceled my membership yet. But, if the coverage doesn't pick up soon there's no point in keeping my membership free or otherwise.

Hey guys,
I haven’t been on the forums for sometime, so I thought I’d pop in and say hello on this post about us!
We’re definitely working hard to grow quickly, but as with any grassroots network, it takes some time. I’d encourage you to give us a little leeway as we begin to build some momentum behind our growth. As Heather mentioned, there are no membership fees, and I would (obviously
) say it’s more then worthwhile to hang in there with us. Our early members will get plenty of added benefits down the road, and we’re now starting to offer other ways to save money through our new partners.
Kim: I’m more then happy to chat anytime. If you have some concerns, feel free to call. I can also provide references from shops who have been exchanging orders on a regular basis, including in Michigan. We’ve actually been doing quite well with orders among our MI shops as of late. It takes 1 or 2 proactive shops to get things rolling (in terms of sending orders), while the rest wait to receive something first. The dynamics of a new network are really quite fascinating.
Ryan: Many thanks for comments. We try our best. POS compatibility is definitely a hurdle we’ll overcome in the future. For the moment, we need to focus on network growth.
Heather: Hang in there with us! You were one of our first 20 and it would be a real shame to loose you. Don’t forget you are collecting those ad credits that will come in handy down the road. I’ll give you a call to touch base and fill you in on our progress.
Otherwise, thanks to everyone for your support!
Jeff

Lol, Jeff, I think this post caught me on one of my bad days. I'm usually not so negative. I know you guys are working hard to develop your network and I totally applaud that.
Sorry if I came across blunt. I'm hanging in there and I know your coverage in Canada is much better than here in the US and our coverage is growing a little at a time.
Looking forward to more from you
Heather

Jeff is a great guy and I think his service is really interesting. Any real alternative to the traditional wire services will take time to get established.
I have no doubt that POS compatibility is a hurdle - and one that is probably best left to a later priority. It's easy to waste a lot of time with little return in that arena.
Network growth should be your biggest focus, and I'm glad that's what you're attending to. It takes sharp management to stay on target and not get distracted by side projects. I look forward to watching you grow!
