TNT, I think you really missed the points of alot of the posts on here. It's not a matter of anyone giving Rod a bad rap, people are trying to give him good and valid ideas about how to promote himself and his business. Which, is an absolute must in the type of business he is in. Would be different if he was the only Joe on the block selling parts, he could just sit back and rake in the cash, But, with thousands of places to buy parts from, he is going to have to put in a little effort.
There are new people joing this site all the time. How are they supposed to know who he is if he doesn't self promote. As I stated before, positve experiences such as yours only rarely get mentioned. HE HAS TO PUT HIS NAME OUT THERE, plain and simple. And as far as being a premium member, I am one that said he needs to sign up. It has nothing to do with how fast the site works. For one, it is a very small token of appreciation to Snowest.com for him to be able to plug himself and profit from it on their site. And secondly, it will show as a sign of his commitment as a vendor to Snowest.com and it's members. Why do you think alot of businesses are members of local chamber of commerces'. Shows commitment to the communities in which they do business. This is a community as well, online albeit.
I'm not saying he is a bad guy. As I've said before, he probably is a good guy and a wealth of knowledge, but if no-one knows it, it's all worth nothing. Few businesses survive on word of mouth alone. And, yes I probably have too much time on my hands, but I have been in some sort of sales related position most of my working carreer, so I know a little bit about it.
