Yes, You can you show him simply how being ignorant of the real world translates into lost revenue. Explain to him politely that he hires employees to be smarter than himself for a reason and if he doesn't know he should ask one of his paid employees. That is what they are there for. DUH!!! If...

Almost every job I do is spec work. I find it works for me but, I choose my clients carefully and hardly lose any job I work on. You gotta do what is right for your business. Keep it on your terms. BTW most Structural Engineers/Architects receive less than a 25% deposit upfront and have...

Had a Great 4th of July Traded signs for some 2 big bags of fireworks for the kids and a little bit of cash. Love America and this industry. BEST 4th of July ever according to my kids and I have to agree.

I am still running XP on my machines at home and the office because, I tried the migration over to Vista and it wouldn't run my basic desktop printers and was a pain to use. Tried windows 7 on my wifes new laptop and it takes me 4 times as long to do simple tasks that I can do in XP with no...

Glad mike was able to help you out. He is an ex-proveer employee. I tipped him off the other day about this thread and told him he should pass it up the line and do some damage control before they ruined their reputation. He is a good guy. Been working real hard to help me out and I am one of...

That made my day. I laughed so hard I spit my Starbucks all over the room.

Hey just wondering if anyone uses or has used inkydeals.com I ran across them in a google search and got on their daily email list and see what appear to be some really good deals come across. Just curious if anyone else has used them before or, if the good deals are nicely marketed garbage.

Trello is great. I learned about it on here, I know use it for the business and my personal life. Its really easy to use and you can make it fit any project or projects you want. I even have my wife using it to manage the kids school events.

Welcome from an Old Air Force hand too. I was 81st Trans out at Keesler. driving drunk pilots to planes and moving cargo. Those were fun times while they lasted pre-911. Never ever, ever, volunteer for an AETC base. Its the worst thing you can do for your career. Once your in you never get out...

I would have to say the guy sounds like he was being very open and honest with you. He wasn't sure where to bid the job based on the available information. So, he got a quote to form a baseline for the job. Saying, he would come in less than what they quoted. This is a good thing. He didn't...

July 14th is a good day to be born on. My oldest boy was born on July 14th. Congrats! No matter what day she is born on. :thumb::bushmill:

I have Bob! I lost my entire external hard drive when it fell to the floor. Without my backup I wouldn't have been able to complete the weeks orders. So, I can say I 100% wouldn't be without my backup system. If you can survive without one good for you. I have too much invested in my stuff to...

Hey bob almost every company I do business with has clearly posted return policies either on their website or on the receipt.

I have a Cloud Storage Account with Godaddy. I think it costs me around $7.99 a month. I can map the folders to my local computers so its like having the drives right there. Great for sharing files across various machines. Might want to look into something like that. Mechanical drives no matter...

Its only Grimco's problem for the first 30 days. After 6 months its 100% the OPs Problem. Grimco doesn't know if the OP is trying to pull a fast one by claiming some grommets he bought off of ebay came from them. 6 months is just way to long. As for the OP not getting called back for a while. I...

So, your saying If you drove off ate the meal, kept the receipt and the bag in your car for 6 months later clean out your car and realize they didn't give you your fries you should be able to go back and expect to get them. Sorry, NO WAY!!! Grimco didn't screw up the OP did. If you didn't check...

I am not suggesting you become a full time radio broker. I was saying if you can get the spots and offer them up to your customers at or even slightly above cost. You can have it as an added benefit to doing business with you. Not as full time business model. Just a perk that you offer that sets...

You guys that fall for the bartering for Airtime trick are fools. I did work for Beasley broadcasting for years. (2nd largest radio station owner in the US just behind Clear Channel) and let me tell you. They have cash by the wheelbarrows full. You can get paid cash if you want to get paid. The...

I never said any such thing. Re-read my post. I simply asked a few reasonable questions to understand the scenario and what led to that level of a hateful message.

There has got to be more to this than what's on the surface. I am wondering what he meant by this: did he pay some exorbitant amount for some unnecessary plastic surgery or some designer clothing, that daddy's little girl just had to have?? Was there a divorce involved in the middle of this and...
