My mom had the greatest sayings of all tymez. Many of which I still think of at certain moments. Like today, when our website associate asked who was paying for him to come here for a face to face pow wow. My mom’s saying here would be; you can’t see the forest for the trees. It comes to this as well . No matter what vendor gets on board here in and for the club, remember this IS and ORGANIZATION, of 50,000 members, that’s 1000 members in all 50 states. Many of whom have companies and business’s of their own. You do a low ball cost job for the club to aid in a project, there’s 50,000 others who WILL consult you in doing something for them on an individual basis. So let’s take some numbers and crunch them. let’s say, that Richie(not my cousin Richie from the Dukes) builds a good strong front end for the clubs website, at say $2,000.. or less,. Now then its up and going, on a banner on the site it says, the Knytes-of-Anarchy site proudly built by Richie, or something to the effect. Then at a full cost , say the $6,k he first bid to us is multiplied by $50k, that’s 300 million in Richie’s pocket. Now if I was looking to make a good living, I’d be finding my own way to Twin Falls, sit down with me and THE REST of THE CLUB, and have a pow wow. I’d sped the few hundred on a $300,mil pay back any day, wouldn’t you? Its just like talent agencies, and many others, They see me and think I’m it and all there is, fact is I’m only one foot soldier and a mouthpiece and wordsmith , of 49,000 others. Do right under my watch, build something or supply something to the club and watch how fast other members start spending money for their firms at your firm. Ignore me, you ignore the club, and say goodbye to 49,000 potential clients. Its that simple. That’s seeing the forest for the trees. Eli, understands it as he was once a member of an mc and is on prospect status with the Knytes, some though don’t understand that those same grizzly bears on two wheels on the weekends have very lucrative business’s of their own . Some bike or biker or aviation related some not, but even if that member is peddling, real estate or insurance he will need a website. They will need a service that we search for in the club. Do us a good turn, the members notice soon you have orders abounding in your business. Again ignore us, it’s adios. Want a local example? Gal in Blackfoot that did our accounting for a tyme that resulted in me even being here with Charlie, did a crappy job, ignored phone calls and emails. Guess what? She ain’t no longer in business.
This is why you never ignore or piss off the Wolfsince I get pee-owed, then I relate here as well as to the rest of the club, and well that vendor or associate’s future is none too purtty. Another example of a gal that was great in media. She worked as the morning anchor on News watch 6 in Pocatello. Ya’ll remember Brandi Erickson? Any mile we got to know each other as associates in broadcasting. Since she ignored us and got booted by 6 or maybe she quit, but I’ve seen from her Linked in updates that she's bounced around, like a bad $5.00 bill. If she hadn’t ignored me and the club in Pocatello a few years ago and help us build then, think of the TV thing we’d have today. The list goes on, but I think you get the idea. It’s sort of like Nurse GoodBody. She dumped us due disbelief of another conning her into disbanding. When clearly we already had enough other advertisers signed up that could have by now been putting money into us then as now. So what happens? Erin looses one job, scratches for work and only through MY recommendation gets on with a psych service here in Twin as a PSR.
So to Richie and so many others, the slight sacrifice you make, to make me happy, makes the club happy, and when you make the club happy, your wallet gets fuller.
