Are there any BIG TRADERS out there then ( other than main dealers )? I run my own small business. And some of my customers ring up and say are you quiet then! oh you are! can you do me a good price on X. 
I have less customers spending less money and the ones on the phone want a discount. ERR let me think about this Oh yes financial suicide springs to mind! 
Still can`t blame you for asking but I have n`t seen anyone rushing for your business.

Doing lots of little jobs is better then 1 big 1 once in ablue moon, I understand your not going to loose money on a job but if it isnt busy getting customers in is important,
When we had a small minimarket you had loss leaders that got ur customers thru the door(hardest part)
Once you have them you then want them to come back again and again, this isnt a go at you but ive been reading up a lot on scoobynet and tbh I can only spot 1 or 2 of the traders that do care about there future and their customers(API everytime seem to come top),
We (retail trade) need to open our eyes and adapt at this time or more companies will die out.

Jdm stig The state of this country at the moment I`am confident at the moment if I advertised some loss leaders Oh yes I`d have a rush on my hands and once they`d gone so would their future custom IMHO.
