Just attach, stick or drop your Tile into any item you might lose: laptops, wallets, keys, guitars, bikes—you name it. Then get on with the fun.

A really great idea. I wonder how long until everything we own is taggable and trackable via our mobile phones? Do we track where our children are? Our spouses? Where do you draw the line?
We shipped the PSDs off to PSD2HTML and got back the quotes: $295 for the simplest design, $972 for the most complex one.
We added two extras to the typical package:
Copy and paste in listing descriptions and photos from specific real listings from 42Floors instead of lorem ipsum placeholders
Use Bootstrap to make editing easier for us
Even though these were going to be static mockups, they had to feel real to first-time visitors, otherwise the test results would be worthless. So, each mockup got rollovers, hovers, lists, and modals that showed real but pre-populated data.

It is interesting to hear about and see the results of such a service. I had always been skeptical of such services, but seeing a company like 42Floors using PSD2HTML gives me some confidence in the service.

When you’re on a sales call it’s very important to shut up and listen. Most people have a tendency to drone on and on about their product.
Don’t do this. If your call is successful, you’ll have talked way less than your prospect. (That’s advice Nat Turner gave me and it’s golden.)
Here are some questions you might want to ask:
- What’s your organizational focus in the near term? What are your priorities?
- How frequently do you have X problem?
- What’s your process like for buying software?
- Who would be involved in the process?
- How long does it normally take?
- What other software are you currently using?
- What do you do day-to-day?
- What kind of tasks do you do repeatedly?
