I asked for too much guidance and the team gave me a hard time for being naive. Gino would have something else to say though, lol

Respect you, understood. I deleted my post because the very topic was naive and non-constructive. You guys showed me my weakness (sales), so you all did add value. I over simplified and that's not what I meant to do. I was mainly looking for your stories, and I got a few, for which I am...

Oh shit, it's been fun. Have fun in high school guys.

Gathering data all night... been on the phones all morning. What's up?

Good to be here, shit rolls downhill. He's right about a few things for sure, and he's got every right to view me like that... look where im posting... haha exactly man! but i was going for the boss in office space

No worries, if I ever get a chance to work with you, i would definitely charge 50% more. I get it, you're a piercing realist whose charm is in the form of negation tactics. I've worked with, for and against guys like you & always will. I can deal with it. Take care.

Yeah, I'm going to disagree with you. That kind of attitude would definitely set you up for failure. It's about the work, the opportunity, the grind. Anyway, I get these forums a little more now. I was just here to introduce myself and see if anyone else wanted to share their beginnings. I read...

Right on - appreciate the story! Yeah, this is my third go at this... I have my systems in place in their simplest forms - licensing, payment acceptance, invoicing, forms & proofs, etc - the fun part. I'm cautiously optimistic, but I do not expect it to be quick and I certainly don't aim to...

They've got some calculations to see how saturated the market is... I haven't run one on any city local to me, just hoping that persistence will strike some luck. And aim for a few key accounts. I do have account types and work type in mind. anyway was hoping for stories from you guys on how you...

Understood. Valid points, there is plenty of competition. There's also a lot of business to feed that competition. Some of the guys I've subbed stuff out to here and there really made me scratch my head as to how they're in biz. I'm after a few types of accounts specifically, so niche is exactly...

I genuinely appreciate your input, and all of it meshes with my understanding of the industry. I don't think any of us can complain for *FREE* advice and input :)

I really don't have any interest in doing outside sales for somebody else. I know lots of vendors, companies, clients in this area. No worries, I will figure it out.

<redacted> All right, I've learned what not to ask you guys. Anecdotal experiences would have been great.

My buddy's down in Corpus Christy. I hear there was actual frost on the ground. Crazy. Hope Texas is doin' OK now.

Yeah, wow! Should have known Spokane would catch up with Seattle sooner or later, too bad Covid was what drove prices up universally. My brother moved to Spokane in 2006 and never came back. He absolutely loves it. Actually, most of my family & friends have relocated from Seattle to other areas...

How is it going over there? I have talked to wife about relocating over there several times, but she doesn't like the idea of getting snow every year :) But after the last couple years of having 10" of snow, maybe she's changed her mind... ha.

reeeee

Hi, Before signs, I managed a print shop and we did a lot of EDDM & VDP bulk mailing. Actually, there are some gang run printers that could print them for -CHEAPER- than our per-click cost on our leased Konica Minolta presses. I'd always do the math before printing in-house or outsourcing, but...

Hi from Washington!

Go on, delete it. This community is something else.
