Scrubs, you mentioned that customer service is a rarity these days. I was thinking just the opposite. I am 50 and can remember no receipt, no return, no possibility. Now many stores offer email receipts (Macys), can track by phone number, hell Walmart just takes it back most of the time. No...

I never look at shipping as a separate expense. I add the items plus the shipping and see what the item is actually costing me. Companies can offer free shipping always with no minimum order, just hide the cost in every item. They could offer everything in their store for free, just charge even...

Companies have to be careful how many places they sell through. They would prefer to be a noticeable line with their resellers. If the manufacturer dilutes their sales too much they lose some advantages with their channels. It is an expense servicing customers and many manufacturers prefer to...

Subscribed lol I have to know how this ends . . . No electrons were harmed in the production of this post via Tapatalk

Sounds like you are living in the south with high temps and really high humidity. Depending on how thick if you can see well enough to drive safely, I find it clears at speeds above 50 without leaving any residue. But yeah, nothing worse than the morning after seeing all that heavy due clinging...

Several hundred thousand? How are you arriving at that number? No electrons were harmed in the production of this post via Tapatalk

I forgot about the patent. If they sell 10,000 grit guards, which imho is probably optimistic, then a buck or so of that $10 is paying that as well. No electrons were harmed in the production of this post via Tapatalk

At one time I worked in the aluminum die casting industry, which is close enough to plastic injection molding. If it helps with the purchase the mold that is used to produce that part probably cost $20,000 or more. Divide that by the number of grit guards that may be sold and over what time...

The Alamo, Riverwalk, Spurs game, Museum of Texas Cultures, a drive through Hill Country towards Bandera (cowboy capital of the world) or Vanderpool. Buy a George Strait or Pat Green cd for atmosphere. No electrons were harmed in the production of this post via Tapatalk

That Lucky Car (TLC) Auto Detailing I would shy away from WTF. No electrons were harmed in the production of this post via Tapatalk

Good deal. Nice to hear things worked out. No electrons were harmed in the production of this post via Tapatalk

As part of your start up expenses swap out detail work on an accountants and lawyer's cars. You have more to fear from the IRS than your customers. ( only slightly kidding ) No electrons were harmed in the production of this post via Tapatalk

I wasn't really addressing a hobbyist, I was thinking more full timers trying to build their businesses. Most consumers are not that we'll educated in the finer points. You may not sell them on that call but when they look at what the cheaper guy did and didn't do, you have a chance at the next...

So do you think customers that know your prices are going to you because of price or quality? I would think most of the people here would love to answer the question why is your price $20 more than this other guy instead of just not getting the call. I guess coming from a professional sales...

I always thought a website was to increase sales. You hope the potential customer looks around your site so he can compare, but some will just hunt for price and call the guy who is $5 cheaper. Wouldn't you like the chance to explain why your service is worth more than the other guy? (I assume...

I think the hang up is the term cut corners. Think of it more as good, great, and million dollar car show perfect. Great is cutting corners from perfect, good from great. I understand a shop not wanting to offer the cheaper service but I don't look down on a company that offers a budget detail...

30 years in sales and marketing, I know you will not sell anything to anyone who doesn't call No electrons were harmed in the production of this post via Tapatalk

When I worked for Zep the trained us that suds did not matter. In fact we were trained to pour the product into the water and gently mix. But I like the looks of suds, it gives me a nice visual indicator of what I have done and what I need to do. No electrons were harmed in the production of...

A police report would be a good idea. Insurance companies like ''proof'' before paying. No electrons were harmed in the production of this post via Tapatalk
