The Saga Continues

Welcome back!

There has got to be a better way to make money! Starting a home based business would be more reliable than being in business with the shady folks I am working with now.

Well, I finally made the decision to distance myself from these nuts. I am going to sell. Have you ever met a person that takes and takes?

The sad thing about their whole way of doing business is very short sighted. They could enjoy long-term growth if only they treated their relatiosnhips with more care.

Do you know what I am talking about?

....I'll step back

I created a joint venture with another company and we formed a business. My role was to bring in clients and they would handle all the call center operations. Things have been going really well for about 2.5 years (well I had to deal with an account manager that believed in positional power and that was crazy but he has been fired and forced to look for another career!), the profits were good but somewhere along the way my partner got greedy!

They started playing games with me. It happened after we took control of one of their call centers and found out how mis-managed they ran things. Good lord they had crack-heads on the payroll.

Well we proceeded to clean it up and that is when the games began. They started nickle and diming me for all kinds of things.

Everytime I cleaned something up and told them they would come back with another charge or a game. Once they held a check from me (I needed this for payroll - the services were performed in good faith but they just held it because they felt like it. I had to scramble to meet payroll. To this day they think I closed the center because I could make it. Truth be told I closed it because I didn't want to do business with them in that capacity.

Stayed tuned. I am going to be sending them a file shortly and it should get very interesting. I will have all kinds of stories to post.
