Even in this down economy, i cannot tell you how much relief i feel knowing i will not be carrying all they b/s containers and listening to their ignorant, imbecile reps....im exstatic....seriously....
Ive evolved....at one point not so long ago, i was a heavy sending shop....ive completely changed my outlook and the way i do business. Ive learned that you cannot count on most shops to fill your orders correctly and to value....so really it isnt worth the headaches and aggravation. Ive concentrated on my own market and have made a conscious effort to build a strong name for myself...even after 16 1/2 yrs in my city....
As far as the wire services....i am so happy not to have to make those pitiful sorry ass arrangements that look like $hit...when you accept their work, you're going to be known for those arrangements....im sick and tired of them to be honest.....
for those of you that still market out of state.....i dont hold any grudges....maybe you can deal with the headaches...i cant anymore...i want to be top 100 by obtaining my own customers and sending...not advertising in others markets....as an industry we are all divided and being a heavy sender just doesnt work anymore....too many shops that pick and choose what they want to do....makes me wonder why bother paying to be a member when you reject every order...
