[Jeremie Sterlin] “I’m going to import alcohol into the US and sell it wholesale. How do I come up with a pricing structure for my company?”
It really depends on if you want the company liquid.
:o)
Man, I am really sorry guys — I just couldn’t pass that one up.

[Terence Curren] “Hey I love Bob! I’m just having a hard time imagining him holding his tongue around his clients…”
Yes, some things are so unlikely that even the imagination fails in its power to go there.

[David Roth Weiss] “Bob’s “diplomatic approach” is a deep bite, but without the full dose of venom.”
Yes, stiffened immobilization but not complete removal from the pages of life itself. You can still see life from there, just not feel it much…

[Terence Curren] “Now you all know why Bob berates folks on the lists. He can’t tell it to his clients, so he vents here.”
Hey Terry, he said telling ’em was “tough,” but anyone who has been around Bob any time at all — and you have known him for years both here and on the Avid-L — knows that tough means he takes a thought or two before telling them. (But never more than a couple of thoughts and maybe a breath or two.)
:o)

Thanks for the suggestion, Stephen. I am sure that Tim Wilson is peeking in and is filing this away somewhere in his Plan to Conquer the Known Publishing World in the Media Professionals Fishbowl.

Thank you, Bob.
Yesterday, March 19th, we had our biggest day in our history with 81,566 *visits* in 24 hours.
This site continues to amaze us as it just continues to grow and grow.
Best,

Can you post your system, OS version, Firefox version, etc., that would help.

I am on the newest version of Firefox and am in the site all day and I never get logged out.
Sorry it’s happening to you.

[Brendan Coots] “I guess I just see this particular situation as a gamble – take a lower rate and live to see another day but ditch the idea of working with that client again, or stick to principals, lose the client anyway, and be broke.”
I would agree with this in principle, Brendan, but where I see the danger in this one is that I believe that this one is the person that said she wants to grow in this market that is apparently in the hands of this grinder.
If she gives in to this price, then not only is she marked with this particular person, but she is likely to find that she is marked with many others, as well.
But as you say, it is indeed better to live to fight another day than to insist that you must win every battle.
As I tell my team regularly, “You have to choose the battles you are willing to lose so that you can win the war.”
Still, I hate to lose. ;o)
Best regards,

Creativity is a type of learning process where the teacher and pupil are located in the same individual.
Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
