Pros
The concept is brilliant and users; once they know what Patch is; love the site. The content is pleasing and allows for local voices to participate in the discussions.
Cons
The sales and marketing team try to replicate everything that worked when the company started in the NE however; it doesn't work in other areas where money isn't spend on building brand awareness. The sales management needs to be sent out to pasture as they lack the knowledge of building a company. Everyone is give the same quota independent of their tenure. Someone in the NE who has been there for three years in a very successful market carries the same quota as someone in IL a not too successful market.
