Call it a cop out if you like.
Good luck in creating new business opportunities. I think you will need it as you seem to spend way to much time on here........
You just don't get it do you? You have come here seeing it as place to pitch for business and do not understand that it is a *business forum*, to some extent a community, which thrives on participation!
If you do not want your actual service picked apart, why come and participate in a public forum? Why not restrict your attempts to recruit clients to the cloistered environment of your marketing campaign?
Robert, it seems as if you are obsessed with down-grading and/or bad mouthing other individuals/companies. I have had a good look at your company, a good look at your business. I sense a little jealousy here.
Wow, this is an interesting first post Craig. And it is also and interesting observation. How did you come to the conclusion that I am obsessed with downgrading and bad mouthing other companies? Seeing as you have made a total of 1 posts in this forum, I find it hard to believe you have been tracking my comments for very long. You have not had a good look at my company, and also you have not had a good look at my business otherwise you would not have come up with the complete nonsense you come up with later in your post.
It's clear that your business is not as successful as you would like it to be and are taking this out on other people on here for simply advertising their business.
I would like my business to be more successful, that is rather obvious. What kind of Managing Director would I be if I did not want that? But also I am realistic, and I know that long term success takes a long time. What I do not like is when one of the bigger companies starts hovering about in a forum like this and starts using underhand tactics to try and elevate the status of what they are selling.
I actually respect the people in this forum because many of them have taken the time to offer advice and guidance to me when I have needed it. Therefore I will always take the time to try and respond whenever I can offer a solution or support when somebody comes here looking for guidance. If someone comes here looking for a company to produce a video, I would generally like them to hire me to do it, but failing that I would much prefer them to get someone who is going to do a good job, and I would happily advise on it. That is what you people do not seem to get, the 'community' aspect. It is nothing to do with jealousy.
I have heard of a lot of digital media companys, like Cameron, that operate in an umbrella fashion with business that work together and work across the business smaller companies under that umbrella closing down and opening up every day.
Amstore and GetBiz have the same registered address. Cameron confirmed when challenged that he worked for both companies and shifted from one company to another without moving office, desk or phone number. In his original post he made out that Amstore was "a company that is in the process of creating an online video for me." He did not say that he worked under their umbrella, or that he worked in the same office, or that he would be soon moving to join that company (if moving is the right word). Would you not consider that he appeared to portray himself on false pretenses?
One other massive detail that seems to have escaped your mind, we are in a recession, people move from business to business, externally and internally Its natural So if someone has previously advertised themselves under one company and then shortly after a different one, as an accomplished business owner I would expect you to be able to do the maths yourself. If you want to talk about misleading - and lets be detail-obsessed like you have been - on your website you claim that we can call one of your production experts (plural)yet there is a mobile number on there which is clearly yours making out your company is bigger than it actually is. This gives the customer a false sense of security. Very poor.
Yes it is a mobile number, and yes it is mine. It helps when receiving calls if you own the number you advertise. We are a small and young business. But we do have more than one person who is a production expert. I am not telling fibs there. I take calls in the first instance, but if I am unavailable, I can redirect the number to my business partner who is a Director qualified from the New York Film Academy and trained under Paul Wheeler (no relation to me) the prominent BBC director. Our first commercial retail release "The Angel and Daniel Johnston..." was critically acclaimed, gaining rare five star reviews in Record Collector and Review Pop Moderne, which is more than can be said about most big label releases. Yes, we are production experts.
But have you not figured it out yet? Sneering at me for being in an opening phase of my business is not going to impress many people here, where you will find congregating representatives of independent businesses of all stages, including those who aspire to own and run a business?
Are you a shadow company that simply out sources work as soon as it comes in?
Obviously not. In fact we can do everything in the production of an actual video.
You may have the knowledge, believe me I do, but the way you conduct yourself on here is a little embarrassing.
That is your opinion. I'd like to say something about the way you conduct yourself, but seeing as you have only made one post, there is not enough source material to make a judgment.
