Red Flags!

sure enough our Red Flags mailing is a hit, though not without a few glitches.

we joke about this one: "If a company can't keep their page numbers straight on a promotional booklet....that's a red flag"!

we apologize for the mixed-up page numbers!

on the other hand, if our customers remember about the Cheapskate, the Engineer, or the Kickback in six months during a screening phone call, and save themselves some misery, we're sure it will be because they remember the advice, and not which page it was on!

response has been great and we're already working on "Red Flags II".

if you want a copy of the original Red Flags Booklet, let us know, we have some left over.

mail call: here's a response to our mailing from my buddy Mike Germain who works in the Hudson Valley:

Red Flag #1: The Designer who calls says you two have not met when you have twice.

Red Flag #2: The “walls are prepped”, the paper is in, you can start right away but none of the trim is painted yet.

Red Flag #3: You are at least the third paper hanger to grace these rooms with your presence.

Red Flag #4: The Designer says “ I treat all my subs really well, just ask them” . None of them speak English.

Red Flag #5: The deadline [wedding] is two and a half weeks away and you don’t get a response to your proposal after three days and two phone calls.

Red Flag #6: The response you finally get is to ask if you can split your proposal into three proposals.

And best of all.....

.....these all happened on one job!
