It's just an excuse, but some customers almost force you to lie. It's more efficient than trying to explain the truth. If they haven't learned how the process works after 20 years in the business, I'm not going to be the one to teach them lol!😂😂😂

Excellent observation. I believe this lies at the heart of many workflow and employee issues in the printing industry. Based on my personal experience, "the blame" is too often placed on a single person. Too frequently it falls on the most capable individuals because they are responsible for...

Perhaps, but sometimes there are no other employees to hire in place of a bad one. Perhaps the employee is upset that they were rightfully passed over for a promotion, is ill informed, exaggerating or being untruthful about issues at the company. The world is full of potentially bad 'what...

Yes. A person is entitled to speak their mind, and an employer cannot prevent them from so doing. Employers are people and they have rights too. Why would or should an employer have to pay somebody who insists on disparaging their company? If an employee is unhappy, they can quit. Employers...

I'm so sick of hearing 'freedom of speech' misapplied. The first amendment (in the US) limits government action against you. It does not give you impunity from the rest of society. You do not have a right to your job. If the people paying you are dissatisfied with your actions, they have...

Oh no, I am terribly sorry to hear this. Matt was an excellent contributor here and a terrific support person for Metrix. I always enjoyed working with him. He was smart, kind and empathetic. He was one of the rare, good ones.

That's a really great question. There are a couple approaches to that. Obviously, forever can be an answer and IMO that's fine if rep is providing value to all those future transactions. On the other hand, if they just bring the customer in and do little after that, a hunter/farmer approach...

Can you have him document who he is calling on ahead of time to resolve the ambiguity? Although I can see where some independent reps wouldn't want to divulge that info.

Boy, I'd sure add a bunch of qualifiers and implicit assumptions to a statement like that. It is certainly true in many cases but not nearly all. Take KDW's case. I'm guessing that sales guy won't bring him any work for $500 per year total. But the question KDW should be asking himself is, am...

My personal, unscientific, impression is that more, perhaps most, commercial companies have adopted the methodology (especially as software has made implementation seem easier) but fewer maintain Idealliance membership and G7 certification.

Our standard pricing would be $0.349 each.

Printing companies are HOPE-for-profit entities. Fixed it for you;)

No, you are making a faulty generalization. Just because USPS doesn't believe in one particular application of their product or service doesn't mean the others have no value. If you'd prefer an example: Our printing company sends invoices and many other types of communication electronically...

I agree that USPS does not pay postage to itself, but that doesn't mean it's free. It still costs money to produce the piece and to distribute it. Shouldn't we be giving USPS kudos for reducing operating expenses? STD cards are a pointless waste.

I think it says that sending a physical STD card doesn't produce enough attendance to justify the cost. Just because something can be mailed, doesn't mean it should be mailed - even for USPS.

If you allow for the environmental devastation and worker abuses, I'm pretty sure it's not a deficit.

You are correct in assuming all those parameters will vary with the technology used to create the spot pattern. In fact they will vary by orders of magnitude. You need to create a set of guidelines based on application method, otherwise the guidelines will necessarily be so vague as to be useless.

Americans are ingenious. Once we run out of old growth Canadian forests, I'm sure we'll figure out another way to keep our butts clean.
