That's the reason I've never taken on a salesperson to grow the business further, because they're all cheats/liars and cannot be held accountable for ANYTHING..LOL. I guess I could consider selling out to another dealer but they're older as well and trying to sell their businesses, just like me. I was offered an opportunity to buy another copier business recently, but the price was completely out of line with the revenue. When I inquired why this was, there was "CRICKETS".... no response...hmmm... makes you wonder. I'm not going to get into specifics, but the business is very profitable under my diligent care. Translating that to another owner might be tricky; especially if they were not business-savvy to begin with. And God knows, many of the techs I've met in my life have one addiction problem or another (mostly alcohol). so not sure I can trust them either... dang!
