What are some key considerations to generate QR codes that are compatible with stores' POS systems? Is this relatively complicated for an MVP?

I've deployed QR systems around the world, and created MVPs for retail systems.
Most POS systems are set to scan traditional 1D barcodes. It is likely that whatever solution you come up with, the POS will need to be upgraded.
A QR code can hold up to around 4,000 ASCII characters (it's a bit more complicated than that) - so the code can contain a database ID, URL, contact information - anything you like really.
The complicated bit is what you actually do with the data once scanned. Is it for a loyalty card? Payment? Stock keeping?

What are the best way was to sell B2B products on mobile?

Know your customer. If you're selling to business people who *rely* on their BlackBerry - that's where you need to target your sales.

Terence is one of those rare cross-discipline people. He knows the technical side of things, and this leads to a much better understanding of what's going on. On top of this he's very eloquent, and can talk the marketing speak, which means that he can communcate this understanding. These two sides make him a knowlegable person that can communate the knowledge. He can bridge that gap from technical to sales - he can ask the right questions to them, and he can also appreciate what's reasonable to ask of them.

As a technical person, working with Terence on a project meant that it was always reasonable expectations and there was no confusion in communication. This always resulted in a successful outcome in a quick time.

In short, Terence is great to work with, and if you're reading this because you're thinking about hiring him, then I have to tell you that it would be a mistake not to do so.

I worked closely with Terence for a couple of years where I found him very knowledgeable and diligent. His tireless research helped our team on many occasions and his legacy remains in the excellent hardware he sourced for us. In the contact we still have with him through the business, he remains as helpful as ever.

I had the pleasure of working with Terence for 6 months whilst he was at InMobi, the bigger pleasure was watching him grow during that time.

He was a key asset in our office, from a character perspective and also keeping us all informed from a Developer perspective. He was brilliant at pro actively running training sessions on how to Blog amongst others. He is an excellent team player with brilliant technical knowledge and a real pleasure to work with.

I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Terence to any future employer.
