Au contraire- Old rule of thumb was that for every outfit going out, at least one, and up to 3 new outfits would spring up as the designer, salesman, and superintendent found minimal financing and found how ez it is to sell work until you discover the true costs of running a business.
Had a spkr company described to me as follows: Investor backed a sharp sales guy who gathered up the top level of an established local "battleship" spkr corp at rates enough to entice them to jump ship; sold a ton of work at 20% below market; hired best fitters at a buck or two over scale and put em all in new trucks...might get you off the ground, but not a sustainable business model. Certainly explained why they were on their 2nd or 3rd investor. glc -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of IPA Sent: Tuesday, May 26, 2009 7:32 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Sprinkler Contractors in the United States Hmm... with economy it's ever diminishing... :-( On Tue, May 26, 2009 at 9:40 AM, Nick Melosi <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks George. > > On Tue, May 26, 2009 at 11:32 AM, George Church <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Nick- > > I'd ask again in Sprinkler CHAT, not really a tech question for the > > Forum..... > > > > glc > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [email protected] > > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Nick > Melosi > > Sent: Tuesday, May 26, 2009 12:09 PM > > To: [email protected] > > Subject: Sprinkler Contractors in the United States > > > > Hello Everyone, > > Does anyone have an idea how many sprinkler contractors there are in the > > United States? > > > > Thanks Everyone, > > > > Nick > > > > -- > > _______________________________________________ > > Sprinklerforum mailing list > > http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum > > For Technical Assistance, send an email to: > [email protected] > > > > To Unsubscribe, send an email > to:[email protected]<to%3asprinklerforum-requ...@fire sprinkler.org> > <to%[email protected]<to%253ASprinklerforum-request @firesprinkler.org> > > > > (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field) > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Sprinklerforum mailing list > > http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum > > For Technical Assistance, send an email to: > [email protected] > > > > To Unsubscribe, send an email > to:[email protected]<to%3asprinklerforum-requ...@fire sprinkler.org> > <to%[email protected]<to%253ASprinklerforum-request @firesprinkler.org> > > > > (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field) > > > > > > -- > Nick Melosi > dm design > www.mydmdesign.com > > Tampa Office: > P.O.
