After 28 years, I know I am jaded, arrogant and impatient. I can tell a time waster when he utter his first word... I also remember one such customer walked in 26 years ago, I was patient and humble. Today, the company he worked for still is one of my best customers. (although he retired) My...

So we should have different rules for "those guys"? That's what a lot of politicians in this country were thinking.....

I want to recreate this form from a bodyshop.

He said if you buy 300 liter of ink "a month" he will put two printer in your shop free of charge. It is no lie! Bulk ink: $100 (per liter) x 300 liter = $30,000/month. Cartridge: $87 (per 440ml) x 300 liter = $59,318.15/month Cost difference: $29,318.15 per month Desk top printer mfgs...

This is why we don't do wraps, we are just not qualified both in design and installation. You make the matter worse, mentioning your vast experience and achievement. People jump into conclusion by your design, it shout out as newbie... Remove the background, level your logo, I think it will...

HP is at it again HP strategies: 1. Look at the desk top printer trend now a days: dirt cheap printers, pricy cartridges. 2. to our industry's demise, lower printers prices are not a blessing for us. Every body can get in at minimum investment. HP is going to flooding to our customers also...

There is a Summa plotter? As in Sumo Wrestler? I like the sound of that better already!

Subs should provide both liability & workers comp insurance info to us, just as we need to furnish it to our customers. Worker's Comp insurance is the largest rip-offs. It should just be the "Compensation" for lost of work or disability compensation. As for medical expenses, health insurance...

This is a zero sum game. Insurance company is not going to lose money. So, you saved on premiums, others have to pay for your share. My young employees (under 30) were paying $150 a month, under "affordable care", their premiums more than doubled. So they choose to go without, opt to pay the...

These "panperors" are at it again! They've never operate a business. You move up the entry level wage, it is like moving up the starting line of a race, the slower guys are still behind the faster guys. All it does is pushing whole wage structure up: entry lever - $8 increase to $15...

You are right about material mark up, but not by sign distributors, but by 3M. They sell to these traffic sign company either direct or through different channels at such low prices. I buy engineer grade from one of this company to get better deal than Fellers or sign material distributors...

Yes, most banks do have online presence for our and their convenience( more for their savings, in my opinion.) They do go down from time to time, and I can always go to their branches. Would you use a Cloud Only bank? No No No..

I would upsell clear laminates for graffiti protection. More $$, protect the cut vinyl from being picked.

We use laser.

How about Debit card? Does square process it and what is the rate? We diligently ask customers Debit or Credit? Because Debit card rate is .05% (0.005) + 22¢ item charge, that help keep our overall rate down. It is crazy that Visa & MC came out with all these different cards with different...

One last thing: When you said "winnig a bid", did you get a deposit check?

Your estimate is obvious out of wack. Here is my 2¢: 1. Climb the ladder, measure and re-measure, aren't you "guarantee to fit"? 2. with your small plotter, for a simple layout, you can apply the translucent vinyl first, then use a pattern or cheap vinyl overlay on the face, hand cut out the...
