People, even our more knowledgable prospects, generally haven't heard about WebCatalog. Thankfully, we also run filemaker and SQL databases so we can show them a comparison of speed.A salesperson can do a little tap dance while waiting for the SQL database to return results. The dance is shorter for filemaker (not much). But they are only able to blink once or twice before WebCat returns results.
