Please post sharing the positives you have drawn from being a member here. Don't worry about repeating others posts, I just would love to hear some support.
Here's my list:
1. A place to vent when difficult customers / situations come my way. Members often provide excellent advice that I may not have thought through.
2. Pringles offers. I am absolutely indebted to members when they post latest offers as I am always walking a stock tightrope with these.
3. Friends in the trade. It's been a pleasure to get to know Mark from Yorvend, Johnny down in Cornwall and enjoy Matt's hospitality in the midlands, even if he does drink lady drinks.
Visiting trade shows is no longer a lonely affair as there's always a few chaps from here going.4. Increased opportunities. Through the forum I have been able to offer my site finding service in the past. This has led to further opportunities working in the catering and touch screen field as a site finder.
5. The chance to share a few tips with other traders. I love keeping older machines going so hopefully my posts on keeping the towers running when the barrels drop have saved members a few grand across the membership.
6. The sense that you are not alone. It's not me and my brother against the world, there's you ugly lot too.
7. The ability to share information to ensure that I'm not being shafted by any of the suppliers.
That's all for now but there's plenty more. Please do post even if it's one line.
Cheers Gav
