Question?

[SMITHY]

Why is it when one of us new guys asks a question, we seem to get ridiculed by the senior members here. I am confused, everyone has to start out somewhere, and it is becoming pretty common place that when someone "new" asks a question, I see the same old reply: " There is a thread on this under Business Development" Well I don't find that to be very helpful. There is 197 PAGES of thread on here, and to go and read everyone, is about not very effective time wise.

I am not sure if any of you have read alot of these threads on here or not, but in about 80% of the ones I have read, people get way off the topic of the thread. Sometimes gets frustrating because you go into a thread you feel is going to help and there is no useful info in there at all. Just SAYIN!!!

That is whay my eyes feel like after scrolling and reading all these topics after an hour........

Plus you can also clearly tell that alot of the threads are product promotion.

I read one topic, about Marketing the business and all that anyone said was, Go hit fleets, pound the beat, put up a tent and walk parking lots looking for damaged windows.....I mean really ?? Is this all anyone can come up with???

I am sorry if you think I ridiculed you by telling you where you could find some information on your own.

Good Luck to you!

Go hit fleets, pound the beat, put up a tent and walk parking lots looking for damaged windows. This is how I started my successful WSR business, many guys pay out for websites and adverts and then find they have little work coming in.

No I don't feel like you ridiculed me at all. I was referring to another post, where someone NEW asked where to get uniforms. You know this is probably some kids about 20 -21 years old and has never even been in the workforce. And he was ridiculed for asking the question.

However as I responded to you, type in the search engine credit card or credit card processing and you will clearly see, that the only post about it is mine. So obviously it is not listed in a previous thread.

Look , I have no animosity against anyone here, but if I get in a bind, need help with a repair or something like this......it really does not help to be told go find the thread on it. I mean come on. What is the forum for, if it is not for helping each other out?

That is all well and good sir, that you are successful and us newbies are trying to be.

But look at how descriptive you were....Pound the beat: Where, When, With Who, What was your approach and how do you overcome the gatekeeper.

Put up a tent: Where, What time of days (lunch, dinner, breakfast or just sat there all day), did you need a permit, did you have to pay off the person, where you were tenting etc.

Walk parking lots: Okay, so this one is pretty simple to me, but for others they may be asking, so you found a broken windshield, what did you do??? Leave a post card, business card, wait to talk with the owner of the car, sit on their car, fall asleep, smoke a fag or what????

See what I mean, no real meat and potatoes in anyone's answers!!

Smithy,

Sir, your attitude isn't going to help you much on this forum. Nobody on here owes you or anybody else spit but there are many who have shared. Many of your questions have already been answered in previous threads and post. My suggestion is to spend a week searching through these and when you find something that hasn't been covered please feel free to ask.

Anyways, good luck to you!

Smithy, The seniors you are talking about started with out the Internet learning the ropes on our own. Theme was no one with a gold plated to give us information when we needed it. No one was there to jump just because we wanted them to..... You should be grateful you do have the help you get from some of them even putting up with your tantrums right now....
As we are all trying to say................. Do your homework and read, search and read more.... If you can not find what you are looking for, re-word it differently and a key word will pop out.

I see you come here and only have 13 posts and already barking at us on we owe you because you became a windshield repair person....

The time you wasted bitching us out, you could have used that time to find what you were looking for.....
I and others have been down this road with others like you and the answer is always going to be the same.....

We are tired of typing the same thing over and over.... for every new member........ It is just how things are. Remember, We are seniors. We take the easy way out also..... Even my dad use to say: "Go do your homework, I am not going to do it for you, I have already done mine"

Oh by the way, welcome aboard.. Hang in there, You will be about to say this to others in short time...

In addition to putting up a tent, cold calling fleets and car dealers, and walking parking lots, consider hiring a few unemployed gang-bangers to do drive-bys. Jobs are hard to come by these days and any banger with a BB or pellet gun could drum up tons of business in just a few hours. Supply the tools, pay for that NRA course and the calls will just pour in. You'll have more business than you can handle.

Cheers;

Puka Pau

As I told a cop when he asked if I am coming by at night throwing stones,
"No, I am using a slung shot with ice cubes from the road"
[Cop] What are the ice cubes for?
The evidence melts, I do not need to come back and pick them up...

He was not happy with my comment, but the other officers got a good laugh out out that...
