I used your software to design a wall unit for one of my clients. (Up to now we’ve done everything with pen and paper.) They were absolutely blown away by the 3D renderings. I was blown away by the fact that using your software allowed me to have a detailed technical discussion with the clients about their requirements; something which, until now, I left to my partner who is the carpenter side of the business. (I’m sales, marketing and the back office side.)
Your software even allowed me to have a technical conversation with my partner with a minimal amount of eye rolling and sighing on his part at my gaffes. And I have more understanding for his technical concerns.
I just tried the 3D PDF feature. OMG: I had no idea PDFs could DO that!! That’s a powerful selling tool. [Note - 3D PDF files that have the ability to spin a 3D image on the computer screen.]
Never thought about using SketchList in a “desktop sharing” conference with a remote client but that could prove particularly useful to me as I transition our business from NY to FL. Even when I have to be in NY I can still make a powerful impact on potential clients in FL.
No problem quoting me. I meant every word of it. SketchList is a great piece of software. Congratulations on your achievement.”

“Sincerely this software has been very impressive so far, especially the reports and PDF file. I never knew PDF has this feature. I had to get use to the number crunching though, since most CAD application I have used for sometime now allows you to do all manipulations on the views. That said, I think it is a wonderful application.
I just completed my first project (attached), though there are a number of things I am getting a hang of, but my customer was satisfied with the presentation and has given a go ahead for construction.”
One other professional said in an email…
“Sorry it took me so long to purchase your software, but boy, did business boom! Can I get my key any sooner?”
Key words — “business boom” – “given the go ahead” — “prospects blown away”! Isn’t that what you want in your business?
