This is easy; maybe I'll start a conglomerate by also opening a used
musical instrument store. :)

(Just a joke, R...)




I happen to like having a conglomerate. I am the big gahoona, the sales and
marketing department, senior buyer, the accounting department, webmaster,
telephone receptionist, the stock room clerk and the rest room maintenance
technician.

Seriously, I am really enjoying this experience. Unlike my past, very
specialized career, this thing exposes me to all kinds of people and their
styles and personalities. I am getting a big kick out of it.
Engineers are basically all the same, but musicians, musician wannabe's and
general shoppers are something else.

A guy called me today about a Taylor 12-string I have. Said he saw it on
the website and he's seen many guitars just like it for a lot less money, so
would I knock off a few hundred.

I asked him if they were the same guitar ... a Taylor 355.

He didn't know. He said the ones he saw just looked a lot like the one I
have.

He was dead serious. I told him that he should buy the cheapest one he can
find.

Fun is fun. I'm writing a speech for a new client. It's for delivery in
late August. When he called, he said I was recommended by a current
client. He wanted to know if I would give him a discount on the first
speech because he "didn't know me." I didn't tell him he should find a
cheaper speech writer. :)

I gave him a discount. It's only my time that's involved. I don't have
to buy goods and resell them for a profit.

I hope you took him out in your Lobster Boat and introduced him to your
Dr. Dr. wife.

Harry, I do have to be honest, I have NEVER meet such an insecure guy as
you are, but I am always amazed that you actually expect people to
believe your stories.

Hey - I've got to defend Harry on this one.

If he knew Harry, he wouldn't have asked him to write the speech in
the first place.

And if any of your clients were to witness your behavior here you
think they'd consider you stable?

Pretty impressive...you've got The Freak as your scumbag buddy in
Connecticut, Jackoff as your scumbag buddy in South Carolina, and Reggie
as your scumbag buddy in George.

A speech for next month? Why not? What could change in five weeks?

Give one a discount and they all want a discount.

When I built big ticket, expensive vacuum deposition systems, I gave
discounts to repeat customers, not new ones.

I sell introductory systems as a means to growing my business with a
customer who's not ready to take the plunge. There are lots of ways
to create demand for your goods or services; smart folks can read the
customer and tailor a solution appropriate to their requirements.
