What you guys are is conservatives that believe in the founding principles of the Republican party or GOP, which makes you apart of them, and your goal should be to move them more toward their core principles that the party was founded on, and that's best for our nation.  I don't see TEA on the ballet, and I know you don't vote democrat.

Stick with us and you will figure it out. TEA is not a party, it is a movement. We vote republican because that is where one is most likely to find people who espouse what we believe. If we ever find a democrat who espouses what we believe that person is either lying or soon to be dispatched from the party.

There are hundreds of franchises.  I own 1 and oversee hundreds, but don't own them.  However I can put them out of business if they don't meet standards.

Who knows what scheme you have going on, but please know your place when talking business with us other business owners.  Any dumbass can buy into a franchise and follow their system, but not everyone can start a business from concept, grow it, then sell it.  You are more at the level of the owner of my local Subway who works some lunch rushes, and helps make my sandwich.  That's fine and there's nothing wrong with that, but don't lie to yourself about being an entrepreneurial businessman.  Don't feel too special about "overseeing" franchisees.  You don't own them, so you're just an employee.

Be careful who you talk to because that person me has done the hardest type of sales and sales is the hardest industry there is due to rejection.  Door to door sales is by far the hardest job to do not to mention constantly lifting a 20 lbs machine for 3-5 hours.  Subway owners I can guarentee you have it way eaiser with the books and arnt responsible for certain things that we are and don't have millions going through their accounts every year and have to purchase hundreds of thousands worth of inventory every months.  Your perception and you trying so hard to diminish me is so laughible it's really funny and sad at the same time.  Keep it up. I dare you. LOL..

You have the same business model as Girl Scouts and Jehovas Witnesses.  I used to sell landscaping service door-to-door, but then I turned 15.  It's not 1950 anymore son.  Leave people alone when we're at home enjoying ourselves.

Why?  They love me and are willing to write out a $3200 check to me and my company.  I'll pass on your advice.

Does your mommy drive you during your sales calls?  My sister drives my niece around when my niece is selling Girl Scout cookies.

I like Samoas and those peanut butter filled ones. Thin mints, too. The shortbread and lemon ones are dumb. Why would anyone pay the same for those mediocre ones instead of the delicious ones? The world may never know.

I can remember back when a Kirby only cost just under 26$ to make.  As a young pup I helped build a cabin for a man that had the Washington state franchise for Kirby so he said.   The cabin was just outside of Mt Rainier National Park.  The stories he use to tell about ripping people off sitting around the camp fire at night.  To this day when I see a Kirby, I look at it and ask myself if they got it new or did someone rebuild and old Kirby and sell it as a new one.

They don't feel ripped off at all even after they found out someone got it for a cheaper price.  Why?  The product is worth every penny.  Keep trying.

2 factory's.  The one in cleveland ships to all the USA distributors and the one in Texas ships only to other countries.  They are brand new. You should see the stack 10 high in my stock room.  I carry 500 in my office at all times.
