      This is why titles mean Jack sh!t among people who have had a job for awhile lol. You can literally call yourself the janitor and give yourself a 6 figure salary if you own the company. Your 'team leader', 'project manager' titles mean nothing outside of your corporate cage. If you bring in 1$ doesn't matter if you're the COO.

    Kevin hit it right on the money, it's something you would expect to find in a bargain bin or on a convenience store rack for $5. Nowhere near worth what they're asking for.
    Laser engraving your own logo on it is neat, but it's also an obvious attempt to bloat the product's value and any wise businessperson's first piece of advice would likely be to get rid of that and accept MuteMe's fate as a novelty toy.

However, my CIO requires us to buy over priced peripherals through a sole-source vendor contract that he inked, locking us in to non-competitive pricing for 3 solid years. Sure, the initial pricing was good for about 9 months and then ballooned thereafter. Of course, the CIO eventually split and we are stuck with his "negotiated pricing".

    The potential value isn't in the hardware - it's in the integrations with all the popular video conferencing platforms (Zoom, Microsoft Teams, etc). They should have played up that angle (assuming they actually have some IP around the software side).

      ​@@Buckets50It is also for co-workers walking up to you from a side they can't see your screen from. I think that one colleague who is in the habit of walking in jokingly asking what [insert nasty nickname you came up with] was whining about this time, makes the button useful to prevent him from doing that while you are still on the phone with that person.
      I know it is situational and the price tag is an obstacle, so I am not saying the product is great, but I do think it adds something on-screen indicators do not offer.

    Should have cut costs by cutting the engraving. Then made engravments an extra fee, if desired. It would allow for them to lower the price, potentially to a place where people would be willing to pay for the novelty of it, and then also have optional add-ons that can potentially add extra revenue. Make it cheap enough for consumers to be willing to spend on a whim and then ptentially get them again with customization stuff they can add on later.
