He went to Bloomnet in October. He had just gone to work for them when the last Maine State show took place.

What I heard is that back in September most of the reps had their pay programs cut and Bloomnet pounced on several of them

There are no "new" wire service reps... they simply move from one company to another... who ever will pay the highest dollars and perks...
From what I have seen... FTD reps, that used to drive really nice wheels are now crammed into Malibu's... must be a cost saving measure...

My orifinal AFS rep, I know Herb knows who Im talking about ....
He sold me AFS rosebud, then ended up with TF, then ended up working for FTD, tried to then sell me FTD, and tell me that AFS-TF was crap after he sold it to me in the first place!
He then went to work for Bloomnet and has been trying to get me to join ever since, saying FTD, TF are crap::BS

Master J... that's one thing that has always made me smile inside.
I have had over the years, many reps. And in more than one case, the same rep for different companies. It has always amazed me how well these folks lie. In one case, the rep worked for wire service A and told me a bunch of stuff...then not 3 weeks later came back in and was working for wire service B and proceeded to tell me the other stuff he told me was crap, and that his new wire service was da bomb and totally above board.
I have to say, from what I have seen, the reps for Bloomnet have held the highest standards of "truth". And Jim Bunn in particular has never mentioned either of the other two wire services to me.
Thing is, they all know their days are numbered, and like the dinosaur they will become extinct in my life time. Can't blame them for trying to feed their families, but when you lie to my face, and I know you're lying... C-ya!

INHO Jim is one of the classiest guys in the business - a true gentleman.
It's probably worth noting that this is his first wire service job - he came from the John Henry Company.
How do you know their days are numbered....for every shop that cancels, 2 more are waiting to sign up...
In the last 6 months, ive gotten rid of fvck a flora and doom dink...so im pretty thrilled with that.....
When are you predicting the demise of these companies?
