As you may well know I am running a Thanksgiving Sale this weekend and this morning I had a conversation with someone where I was basically told that they wouldn’t promote my sale because I didn’t promote their product.

Which product, well any of them..

Apparently the way that it works is that I promote their stuff then they promote mine, it doesn’t seem to matter what their product is, how much it is or anything else. If I want them to promote mine then I have to be willing to just promote anything no matter what they throw at me.

“Everyone does it” isn’t a good enough reason for me to just send out the same email that everyone else is sending out or take the time to write  a email about a product I haven’t seen and quite often isn’t even finished at the time I hear about it.

I was told that the result of this strange attitude of mine is that I will stay poor (my wife and the sales see to that, I don’t need any help from anyone else) and won’t be able to join the IM “in crowd”..

Well know what.. I will live with that..

What cheeses me off even more is that in the last week I have been given a copy of a soon to be released product and I love it, It is simple to use and fits in perfectly with what I already sell. So I will be letting people know about it because I genuinely like the product and use it. I am sure some people will think I am just jumping on the bandwagon..

If you do see my name on a email you can be pretty darned sure that I am not promoting something because I need to get into the right parties.

Ok that is off my chest now time to move on back to working on the thanksgiving sale
