Everyone needs to get the word out on Facebook that people need to take the Vdex White paper with them to their first Endo appointment..if that doesn’t work go get a script from Vdex, they keep people on Afrezza, have excellent retention. They have the right protocol, follow up, and education..clearly not much else is working!!

So, either any BP is not interested or are they lying to us? Lot of money must have been wasted in advertising and we do not see it has much impact on numbers.

It will work in my opinion; they have to prove the concept that Afrezza is marketable to attract a BP. Because all anybody has ever done has proved inhalable insulin is not marketable. Or there’s just too much ego involved. I’m not sure I think that’s the reason. But clearly we do not have the money to do it on our own. At least in my mind that’s clear.

I can't begin to tell you how strongly you should urge them the join the Afrezza group on Facebook. There are new users daily asking questions and they are getting awesome support from the existing users, from the brand new ones all the way to Sam Finta. Even if they don't have a FB account, tell them to add one just for that. All the issues of getting dialed in are being shared and discussed all the time in that group. It's really great to see. I'm not promoting for FB either, I just think this group has been the best thing I've seen for Afrezza since day one.

If you really believe that in two months we will see that the advertising is providing tha boost to sales we all hope for, why would we need the BP partner? 100% of the revenues - the costs will probably be far more than the 35-50% of the net profits if we partnered with BP.

Because seeing that that type of marketing is working doesn’t mean it gives us enough money or enough time. We don’t have the money to keep it up. And advance the pipeline. But proving the concept works maybe is what they are after.

More sales will allow for more advertising and propel Afrezza forward. The milestone money will keep the pipeline activity moving forward.

The last one nearly ruined the company!

MNKD has proven Afrezza is promotionally sensitive, but they also proved its very costly. MNKD cannot sell Afrezza alone and make a big enough impact fast enough without spending a ton of money. They need a ton of marketing dollars and many more reps. Every rep carries a fully loaded cost of about $150,000 per year. MNKD needs 400 more reps so do that math on that. Better to partner for sure. My fear all along is that MNKD is too arrogant to accept an offer. They think very highly of Afrezza, which they should, but reality is they need to accept an offer so they can move on to other TS apps.

Not sure about the proven part on promotional sensitivity, too small a sample size to date, but you're point is well taken. "My fear all along is that MNKD is too arrogant to accept an offer. They think very highly of Afrezza," Interesting, I might re-write that to "My fear all along is that Mike C is too arrogant to accept an offer. He thinks very highly of himself." Tell me the truth, golf, is that what you really meant?
Al Mann was similar, but it was more understandable in that he was the driving force behind the development of Afrezza and using technosphere for delivery. It was his baby, and it could do no wrong. Mike C is close to the opposite personality from both of Al's succcessor's in the CEO spot. Not my favorite kind of personality, for sure, however, I stand by many earlier statements of mine that Mike C may have what it takes to get us to succeed. So far, it hasn't played out that way, but he still has some time to make it happen, either through Afrezza or technosphere. We ain't dead yet!

The sooner they get a partner the sooner they can take those resources and put them where they need to be ..into the pediatric trial and the rest of the pipeline. You can’t do both well. If they ask for more shares when there’s all these warrants holding the share price now down. Look out below! JMHO. Watch and see.
