    so you have the job already? And part of the job you agreed to was cutting in units? so, how much are you charging for that part of the job? How about the other part of the job? good money there? almost 50 per ft... so i could see selling as low as 10 cents each a $2000 order... yeah...
  3. Not a "what would you do?" But a "should I do..."

  5. paint questions

    Thanks for all the good advice everyone... I should have asked sooner, because I would have been willing to bring in a special paint... but this is my clients only sign, so she wants it back fast! I'm confident that there was no moisture under the paint, so I believe it was completely dry. The...
  6. Sergio no longer with AZ Color?

    ever hear of the scumbag on the street corner, asking all the girls going by to sleep with him... he got slapped a lot... but he got laid a lot too... Self promotion works best when it is just supporting a product or service that speaks for itself.. but it turns to hype, when the product or...

  9. Company politics

    I don't know how... but try to allow HIM to have the idea himself, to move you where you were effective (or even start a NEW second sign division, from scratch) read "how to win friends & influence people" by Dale Carnagie it is an all time classic & i really think there would be a lot of...

  11. Customer wants quote for a sign. Has no design or specs

    my fear is someone else will say "from $500" ...and 2 other someone's will say $700, or $900... and he will choose the low bidder, and ignor the guy who wanted him to do homework before giving a price... ...and CES020 is on the money about the stupid sounding people falling in 2 camps... one...

  13. Customer wants quote for a sign. Has no design or specs

    Years ago, I attended one of Dan Antonelli's workshops at the USSC show in Atlantic City. I believe it was about selling website design, but some of the information could help selling anything. One of the comments I've always remembered was about this topic you just brought up. Dan...

  16. Customer wants quote for a sign. Has no design or specs

    Adrian, I feel your pain... I get that same vague inquiry... and getting it in email is even worse in some ways... this person has now "invested" all of 5 minutes in the potential business relationship... unless as you suggest, they sent it to 10 shops... now he's invested 30 seconds in you...
