Reveal1, your thoughtful feedback is appreciated. I would like to pick up on one thing you said, "But if someone highly respected on the forum..." I have been watching to discover who they might be. I am hoping that future threads on what you call, "types of skills and talents..." will be a team...

Gino, I started making signs back in the 1970s. All I had was paint brushes, One Shot paint, and a hand held power tools. I made many signs as a part-time self-employed activity. As things progressed, I went to work as the outside salesperson for a small sign shop. Next, I helped launch a...

Another big thank you, FireSprint, for you reply and input. Especially your comment, "More effective when they could see the calm in my face as well as hear it in my voice." Reminds me that we are primarily a VISUAL industry. I so much appreciate your willingness to reply.

Gino, as you say, "Care to 'splain ?? " Back before the COVID-19 pandemic, let me create a scene for you. Imagine sitting in a sign makers office observing the maker sitting next to a client, both looking intently at one computer monitor. You can hear them discussing different aspects of a sign...

FireSprint, your reply is very much appreciated. Your six examples show that you have made good use of Google hangouts. A big thank you!

I am interested in what you are doing with FileMaker. By using it, do you sense that your entire company is stress-free? Maybe to be a little more specific, is everyone's email inbox brought to zero most days? Or, is your desktop inbox cleared at least once a day? And then, are you able to...

I am guessing that you mean Microsoft Teams, right?

Johnny Best, thank you for your input. I would like to dig a little deeper with you. Do you personally use Cisco Webex? Or, do you know any sign makers that are using it?

Thank you for your observation. Are you for hire to take care of this for me?

I appreciate your feedback. I will be watching to see how this topic develops.

It sounds like there is no need for you to get involved in video meetings.

Thank you for your input. I would like to explore some items with you. When you talk about video meetings, have any that you have had been related to your work? Even if your meetings are currently "strange and awkward," do you see any value is getting past that challenge?

ColorCrest, I take your input seriously. I would like to dig a little deeper if you are available. For example: Are there any better alternatives, at least as you see it?

Thank you for your input. Let me ask you a question: I have heard that there is a difference between the app and the web server use of Zoom. Have you heard anything about this difference?

Texas_Signmaker, two items I would like to explore with you: First) are you currently using Zoom in your sign making work? Second) In your network of other sign makers, are you aware of any who are using Zoom?

Let's focus on one specific item: The use of Zoom in the sign making environment. Why? I am thinking of writing a new thread introducing Signs101 members to the the basic use of Zoom. Just at the starter level. As I prepare to write the thread, I wonder if anyone is already on board with Zoom...

Reveal1, I find it interesting that just a simple request to see if anyone is interested stirs up so much. As of this moment, 30 people have responded. A few understand my request and show interest. Most do not understand, or do not want to understand. Also interesting, 107 people have read the...

Evan Gillette, I especially appreciate your last paragraph, "The next thread you start, make it a contribution instead of a question. Perhaps the most impactful or beneficial thing you have learned in the last two months and how it directly benefited your business or processes." I have several...

tydods, it is good to hear that you are doing some thinking about the concept. Stay tuned, We shall see what develops here on Signs101.

And, a happy Friday to all the great people at FireSprint. Enjoy your weekend.
