Management Commentary " Live stream ecommerce is coming to America it's going to marginalize most other forms of online commerce and with our verbLIVE technology and related software products , we intend to be at the forefront of this massive shift , " said Rory J. Cutaia , CEO of VERB . “ As I mentioned in our recent Letter to Shareholders in April , first quarter 2021 saw us sign the first of what we expect to be many new clients , each of which could generate $ 1 million in annual recurring revenue driven entirely by our verbLIVE products , as we now have many more in our sales pipeline . This year we're seeing the average client and deal size increase dramatically , as our new products , coupled with increased awareness from solid marketing , allow us to target and attract larger businesses . We're also adding many more salespeople as we have a clearly defined and accelerated path to ROI per sales rep . Our improved product development processes and more rapid product delivery cycles , together with new anticipated cost savings coupled with expected new revenue catalysts , have allowed us to begin formulating a plan that we believe will reduce our burn , quarter over quarter , reduce our reliance on outside capital , and move toward cash flow positive status .
