In my opinion this business is toast. I am like Chery- I was always busy ( well maybe not as busy as her)-even when people were saying they had 3 or 4 a month I had a couple a day ad I was able to squeeze out a living until this month. It's not just the slow down and the government shut down. This business has deteriorated so drastically since I started 13 years ago. I actually had relationships with multiple companies. I got real phone calls and steady repeat business ( as I know you all did) now there is not respect for what we do, reduced fees, no relationships, no loyalty. I hate feeling like a winner to loser for each order. Because I won the order or lost it-I hate having to have my phone in my hand 24/7 including showers and taking out the garbage. This will be my last year. I wouldn't recommend this job for any one unless you just want pocket change and here in California where it takes a few bucks to get started I don't think it is worth it. The business will eventually return- the respect will not. |
