The seminars are lousy by the way - not because of Bob Pease - he's only on
the mike for about 5 minutes out of each hour - but because of the junior

other 55 minutes.

Well, I just like the guy. The problem is, National has wrung him out
traveling around the world doing one day seminars for weeks at a time.

Design Briefs or Ideas (whatever they call it) is the best part but getting
skimpy there as well. First thing I look at but sadly sometimes the only thing.

From a TV cartoon seen as a kid, two hombres standing
face-to-face, "I rarely miss at this range."
BHAM, smoke obscures the scene, clears to find the two

it might have been to India and back. I deposited it and it bounced.
Called them a few times, wrote a letter, sent the check back with a
letter to a lady there, nothing. It's been over 2 years now- more
time, bank charges and phone calls spent trying to collect than it's
worth, certainly at my regular billing rate, and to add insult to
injury the value has dropped by maybe a third over that time period. I
guess they need that little $100 way more than I do. They were
certainly prompt about depositing the many thousands of dollars I sent
them when advertising in their publications.
On a more general note, for anyone in business, especially when
dealing with smaller suppliers, I think that paying promptly is highly
underrated. So many people try to squeeze and extra month or two out
of all their suppliers as free financing that paying like clockwork at
20 or 30 days DOES get noticed. One major customer in Michigan pays
within a day or two every time. Another so-and-so in the NYC area
never pays until they've received at least one notice (and always
complains about the price as kind of a reflex action despite being a
smaller customer). Guess which one gets the better deal in the long
run...
