Most aren't. Some are, and as with anything new or different, it's never going to satisfy everyone.
Those who don't like it say so, those who do, get on and use it. Personally I like it and have posted to that effect several times, I just don't like the added cost to my business.
If those who don't like it say why, they can influence it's development in to system they can live with if not actually love.

I feel the same way. Yes it is an additional cost to my business, however everything in life is a tradeoff. I no longer have to come home at night and spend 15 minutes faxing to Colwick. I no longer suffer from order queries. If a fabric is out of stock SAM tells me. All in all, the best thing to happen since Tony left. I got very good vibes from John Risman at our team meeting. This guy is a retail man. I now for the first time in 7 years feel that we are all rowing the same boat.

I don't think that most advisors realise that Hillarys walk a fine line between employed and self-employed. There is strict legislation on this. They can provide us with samples to sell 'their' wares and that is about it.

Although minor irritations, it these what we dwell on. In saying that, its just another project that hasn't been fully thought through, before the guinea pigs were given the new tools to work with. |

Another one of its little quirks is that if you put Acacia in at say 225 cm + it will not let you order and says it is out of speck. It can be turned. I have resorted back to paper orders whan this happens. and had no trouble. Red |

They can provide us with samples to sell 'their' wares and that is about it. I think a lot of direct Sales Companies walk a fine line. To be truley self employed we need to be able to sell blinds from other companies. Obviously it would be unethical to offer these to Hillary Customers. But should not be prohibited from promoting them ourselves. Alternitively you need to be able to control your own destiny with Hillarys using all the tools in The marketing Box. In other words Hillarys becomes a Brand that you are licenced to sell, As Eclipse and Hunter Douglas are brands. |
