[ CASE STUDY ] Taking Advantage of the Level Playing Field

[tecHead]

I stole the "case study" title tag from Kim Roach -- hung out with her in Vegas.. she's cool people

Anyway, I'm gonna keep this short and sweet.

Basically, (as some may have gathered), I'm a programmer and I do my market research and then create what I perceive to be current/future trend friendly software.

With one such program/script; (nope, not tellin' which one); I contacted WishList Member for some support. In the midst of the interaction, it dawned on me to hit them with a JV proposal. What could it hurt, right?

I got the support immediately... but, my JV proposal basically went unanswered. So, I was like "Oh well.. guess they figure I'm a peon and not worthy of their time. No skin off my apple; I'll just keep hustlin'".

So, I basically wrote them off; with the idea that they'll eventually have to work with me 'cause I refuse to lose, (ain't in my vocabulary).

Then, (after like almost two weeks of silence) yesterday I get an email from the dude I was told to contact in the first place asking me what I had in mind. Talk about OPEN DOOR!! WOO HOO!!

The Moral of this Story?
Just keep swimming! Just keep swimming! Just keep swim.... you get the point, no?

Good for you Tec! It goes to show that people are always looking to make more $ and just because you don't get an answer on the spot does not mean that they won't answer you at a later time
