OH! This is just too Good to pass up........
This is what you do to Bypass that God-awful rent, YET maintain that
storefront.
Get one of those Bookmobiles....you know the one they used to use for the
Libraries?
Once a week the Bookmobile would come out to our town and everybody would
drop off their books and pick up new ones.....
Now carry out this concept/idea to fit our Needs and our customer
needs.....ok?
Maybe it would be a panel truck with hydraulic stairs or a U-haul style Long
Bed....NOW that's a LARGE portable StoreFront!
Now imagine if you will ONE Yellow Page ad that customers call, and the
BOOKMO-UHAUL-Store answers the call.
The cust asks "Where are you located"
You respond "Where do you want me to be?"
or "Right now, the Georgetown Shopping Center, Tomorrow the Northcrest
Shopping Center, Saturdays Glenbrook Shopping Center, Monday the
Kendallville Shopping Center...."
AND THEN YOU DROP OFF THE STUFF AT Telrad East.....that's your house, Jim.
Or Telrad North, that's Dave's.....or Telrad West.......you know I'm 1/2
mile West of you, right?
And think about it.....Wire less phones, Wireless Computers, Big 'ol
honkin' truck with power steering and a hydraulic gate, heck Weld Erika's
desk to that gate with a nice cover over it......she'd retire and let Heidi
hande it!!!
Of course winter requires it be indoor......
Man I could do benchwork in my boxers......
But being a Field tech, life wouldn't change that much........I still do the
work in boxers....but the boss requires pants!
