what's the point?

what drives you to think it's a good idea?

it's not changing anything
about me or about TWW
it's not affecting me in the least bit other than it's just annoying, and causes me to make threads that you will laugh at/flame me some more in (you can argue that that's affecting me, but it still doesn't explain the point of it)
and it's certainly not driving me away from TWW

so

does it make you feel good inside?

is "e-bullying" something that makes you proud of yourself when you go to bed at night?

is there some sense of satisfaction in that?

I leave pretty much all of you alone - hell I'd say I leave ALL of you alone, unless I've had prior beef with you before (which basically just means you've given me shit before)

and I never pick a fight

so I'm just kind of wondering why you do it

GGMon, NC86, Ernie, Walter, Jaybee#, EMCE off the top of my head

if it's just for a laugh, then I guess you can carry on

if you find me annoying, why can't you just ignore me my threads?

otherwise u r hurting my fragile feelings and onoz I think I will be scared off of the internet forever

i whistled for a cab and when it came near, etc

SO BRING ON THE FLAMES, BITCHES!

I realize this thread is about those who like to flame BubbleBobble....which I do not. Hear me out, maybe I can offer some insight.

I am in outside sales, which is currently salary+commission, but will move into straight commission starting at the beginning of July 2010. I have been in this position since July 2009. I have competition from several direct manufacturing sales reps, large distributors, and local distributors. Here are the advantages and disadvantages of each:

Direct Advantages: Immediate knowledge of new technology, no middle man mark up, one shipping bill (paid by manufacturer or buyer of goods), access to larger range of non-commodity items, control inventory, have access to many distributors that can effectively sell their goods which increases market share, and set prices of commodity they manufacture.

Direct disadvantages: Typically have 1-3 sales reps per region (i.e. southeast, mid-atlantic, northeast, etc.) limiting the number of accounts they can successfully manage/cold-call, lack physical customer service or physical technical service available to or affordable for smaller users or altogether, are sometimes not trustworthy because they will go in behind their distributors that sell their commodity to one account in large quantities (i.e. they missed a big account, and have found out about it through a distributor selling their particular product) which leads to the distributor not selling their product anymore, have too many distributors selling the product ultimately driving the set price down through deviations, possibly rely on distributors to actually sell the product, and competition from other direct sources.

Large distributor advantages: have access to other commodities that go hand in hand with other manufacturers (poor example- grocery stores sell milk as well as cereal), get direct pricing, many locations regionally or nationally easing the shipping burden of buyers with multiple locations, personal service either customer or technical, many sales reps that are able to cover a broader territory, access to multiple manufacturers of the same commodity allowing to keep prices in check, service programs that smaller companies can't offer and direct providers can't match in price or value, and experts of many many commodities as opposed to one or a few.

Large distributor disadvantages: smaller local distributors creating price wars (think Michael Scott Paper Co vs Dunder-Mifflin), direct mfg's going in behind and stealing business, limited access to all of the mfg's (you won't find Harris Teeter name brands in Food Lion and visa versa), can't truly set prices because it's based on both supply and demand, territory management, and tough growth prospects in slower economies (this is true for direct as well really)

Local distributor advantages: Typically a good ol' boy setting where the seller and the buyer know each other for years (this does happen at all levels, but mostly at the local level), local folks are right down the street and can be used in emergencies, if the local guy buys at high enough volumes then there is no shipping charge to the end user, and access to both direct mfg's and large distributors.

Local distributor disadvantages: easily beaten in price, array of commodities, array of technology, lack of trained staff, low cash flow, etc etc etc.

This is what I have noticed in my six months, I am sure there are plenty more that need mentioning. The way I am setting myself apart as a sales person is this: I go after the big accounts right now while I am new. The big accounts, if I land them, will take care of me while I am new and building a customer base. The money made off of those allows me to focus free time on smaller accounts that get me higher margins. I build up big accounts, I would like to have 5-10 of these, then get 20-30 medium accounts. If I lose 1 or 2 big accounts, the 20-30 medium accounts keep me afloat while I go after new big accounts. I don't really waste time on small accounts simply because they basically pay for breakfast or something really small.

I will say this, if you can't get a big account in the first 6-8 months (assuming you have cash flow that you can ride this long) you could be in a world of trouble. If you can get one, it will really make going after the others a lot more enjoyable and less stressful. It's simply just very exhausting wasting any time on anything other than big accounts in the very beginning. You work just as hard on the medium sized accounts and see 1/3 to 1/36 of the money in my situation.

If you have any other questions, you can PM me. I hope this helps in the slightest!

I flame you because I love you. I think evan flames you because he loves you too, but differently.

2/2/2010 9:43:27 PM

If you want a serious answer from me then here ya go....

At first I had no problem with you...to me you were just another tww user

However after a while your padding got a bit annoying and well I didn't like that you were doing that and I got tired of it, I didn't think you were funny or original. Then you got suspended...

When you came back I figured okay well I can deal with him, maybe he's calmed down now and I mean he's probably a lonely guy, tww is good entertainment for him, I can over look it all, it's all pretty much in that one thread anyway no big deal....

but then it started to spread...you started posting in threads just to post, just to build up your post count, you didn't contribute to anything in threads...all you did was post "k" or post one of your pictures that you thought was so funny.
It started to seem like every other thread on the first page of chit chat was a thread devoted do your padding.

It started getting to the point where people had to dig through your rubbish to find the funny again.

I got annoyed and fed up with it...and that's where I stand today...

2/2/2010 9:44:20 PM

2/2/2010 9:46:56 PM

2/2/2010 9:46:58 PM

^^^I don't even do that shit hardly anymore

what TWW have you been visiting

it's not 2008 anymore


I mean, if you think all my posts are pads, then I guess that's fine

but I try to at least contribute in some manner to most threads (except EUPHALO and BubbleBobble's Padding Thread! in PP)

I've laid back even on the "k" - but some threads just deserve it


honestly sawahash I think you're just mad cause I gave you hell a few times

not because of my padding

I AM SORRY OK JEEZ

I bet I can find many many many threads on this first page that have you posting "k"


I mean it's not that I don't like you... I don't know you, I don't know what type of person you are irl, I've never met you, but online...well your internet persona is really annoying to me...

2/2/2010 9:52:59 PM

I'm not sure why one letter annoys you

it's not like I'm trolling and typing out a novel that you have to read, just to be disappointed that it was just a troll

it's just one god damn letter that I post first in threads that I find to be stupid


WELL YOUR FUCKING INTERNET PERSONA IS ANNOYING TO ME

BUT I DON'T GO AROUND SCREAMING ABOUT IT ON THE WOLF WEB

OH WAIT
