Public shaming

[Seahorse]

I have to tell you this just to shame myself into trying to be a bit more clever and business minded.

Basically, I went to visit a friend last night to show her some things Id made.
I showed her a range which I really like but wont make me much profit, and a newer range which I like and would give me 3 times the amount in profit.

My friend had to point out that it would probably be better to make/sell the newer design as it would make more of a profit!!

My head was in the clouds, I really like the first range but Im so stuck in the mud that I just couldnt make myself see the potential of anything else!!

On a scale of 1 to 10, how much of a numpty am I?

I think your being conservative,I would have said at least a 10 maybe even 1,192 out of 10!!!!

I really need to step out of my blinkered ways.

Its more like a virtual tomato throwing after I voluntarily put myself in the stocks.
Its the only way I can get over my stupidity.

Don't beat yourself up too long.. you have seen the error of your ways now. Some people never do that!

Couldn't you put up the price of the first range so as to make more from it? Or am I being mean?

Id love to up the price but I dont think people will pay the price i already have in mind!

[Seahorse]

Oh MY GOD!!!!

Ive been trying to get a TOTAL price from a box supplier, theres been about 8+ emails and they wernt giving me the info I wanted always leaving out vat or surcharges etc.

I was getting fed up and emailed the full emails to my friend with an added message something like 'Chr*st allmighty, how difficult is it to get a price' etc....

I didnt just send it to my friend!!!!Guess who i sent it to...

[BeyondBeads]

Oh dear.............

Oh well, maybe they'll get it right this time!!!!

[Seahorse]

hehe, yeah.
I always assume things are my fault as Im bad at explaining what Im after.
I got the distinct impression they were just trying to get a sale from the inquiry, they just kept pushing without giving me the info i was after, which peed me off a bit.

[Buttonberry]

OMG!! Well you have to laugh or you'll cry, we've all done it.... deep breaths, deep breaths!

Maybe they'll be more straight foward next time!!

[swirlyarts]

Have you heard back from them yet??

[Seahorse]

Yep, they gave me the informatio(finally) that I was after, they charge tax on everything!!

Seems they may not have got the message,but it was the most horrid feeling Ive ever felt when I thought Id sent it!
