I Get A Kick Out Of You!
Once upon a time when I covered all of Florida as the 3M Guy, I had a dealer that bought a sizable amount of film.
One day I received a call from a very large property looking to replace some old 3M film that had been on their building for 20 years. They wanted to replace the nearly 50,000 sq ft.
Noting the large volume my dealer was buying, I didn't think twice about introducing him to that property manager.
What I didn't know at that time, was that as soon as I left that meeting he high tailed it back, and secretly proposed another manufacturers window film, at a lower price and got the project!
Perfect execution!
He's baaaack!
How's that for a thank you??
Well; we dealt with that at the time and that dealer was subsequently canceled.
Happily we note that the forgiving (desperate?) Chosen have signed this same fella up once again!
Proudly (only a few are selected!) again in their fold and what is more amusing actually highlighting that particular building on his website (with that competitor's window film all over it!)
That my friends is pure irony and my hat's off to him for doing that! PERFECT!
The moral of the story?
"The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them."
Lenin
He may have had a point, at least in some instances!
