You are an "Owner" and a "Leader" of a business. You do NOT have to come so "Un-Glued"....over someone "researching"...what you are doing. Show some "Leadership" and "Maturity"! You should NOT show how "Tempermental" you are ....in, outwardly, showing your TEMPER in someone finding out what you are doing.

When you told me you wanted little ol' ME....who's been MY OWN BOSS my entire carreer, with the people I sold MY programs and products to, to "make their checks out to YOU"....and....out of the "goodness of your heart"...you would PAY ME 50%!

WOW! I just couldn't wait to join your "team"! Yeah! Right!

Thanks...but NO thanks! I'll let the "neophytes" and "NON-Risk-Takers" go out and collect money for YOU!

Re: The Dye-Sub Coffee Cups; Sure....they're not as sturdy as yours HOWEVER....selling ads on ONE Color Coffee Cups, to me, is like selling Plain Text Business Cards...as compared to selling FULL COLOR PHOTO Business Cards (which came out in 1985)....NO Comparison! Sorry! When I did some initial Sales testing....holding up your 1-Color Cups alongside FULL Color Cups....even though the FULL Color Cups were THREE TIMES more.... guess which cup they chose?

And....when FULL Color Mugs are in a restaurant....with PHOTOS OF LOCAL BUSINESS PEOPLE.....guess WHICH cups MOST diners WILL LOOK AT....OVER AND OVER AGAIN? Yup! Sorry Mr Mugs Across guy....FULL COLOR PHOTOS
....GRAB PEOPLE BY THE "EYE-LOBES" ...REPEATEDLY!

COLOR SELLS!....Sir!

So....yes....there is breakage. However....we provide LOTS of Mugs so we tell our restaurants ....Any question about a mug being chipped or cracked or whatever.....don't hesitate....TOSS IT!....there's an AMPLE SUPPLY!

And....your "sales-comment" about "Diners chomping down on a chipped cup"....as another of your "reasons why" potential "50percenters" should NOT consider using the FULL Color Dye-Sub Mugs....is "weak"!

We instruct OUR restaurant owners AND managers AND wait-persons AND... even the person in charge of the dishwashing.....to check the RIMS of the mugs BEFORE....sending out to the front!

Ya sure! I kin hear you now....your retort is expected!

And.....your mention about your Reps taking over OKJR accounts....sure, that's happened.....HOWEVER....I also know that "Some of YOUR 1-Color Mug Accounts have ALSO been "Taken over by the FULL Color" mug guy....and, there are 3 other FULL Color mug people out there in this BIG country of ours...quietly selling FULL Color Mugs.....for 2 to 3 times what you are...and
having NO problemos! (That's my Arizona accent)

Thus...when Mr Jenkins told you you'd better Hop On Over here....you Hopped! Again....you're "defending" YOUR position....however, what makes you "small" in some of MY friend's estimation....is your coming UN-Glued and.....your "Attack" on me!

Hey man! You are supposed to be a "Leader" and the esteemed OWNER of an organization....why let someone "get under your skin"....just because YOU feel you've been "used"?

Take your "Attitude" AND....your ONE-Color coffee cups....and leave us "FULL Color" people alone.

Now....if YOU do NOT respond to these comments....the "thousands" who frequent THIS Forum may get the impression that YOU....are a "WUSS"!

Don't "WUSS-OUT"! Get back here and "Vent Your Spleen"! Let's hear some of your Vitriole! Let it out! Don't hold back! YOU were "taken advantage of". LET'S HEAR HOW YOU CAN DEFEND YOURSELF!
