All bets are off

Clear Books has just reached 50 paying customers. Yesterday I blogged about a bet I had with a former colleague which set 50 paying customers as the target for our first year, and with half a day to spare, all bets are off.

As we have only accepted payments since the beginning of July, we have actually reached 50 in our first month. This is a great start but only the beginning for Clear Books.

The five companies that responded to my post yesterday will get a special mention, as promised, in due course, but a big thank you is owed to all the companies that have stumbled upon us, liked our service, and have been willing to pay for it. It is a very satisfying endorsement.

If you are wondering why we are open about our sign up numbers, it is all part of our Open For Business approach.

UPDATE: Although the countdown to 50 customers is complete, the special introductory offer will remain in place over the weekend. This is leading up to a new promotion to be launched on Monday.
