"For the record, I don't NEED Blazetrak's services and I didn't need it BEFORE I used it."-Greg Watton
That's my point. YOU don't need it because you've been doing the work to build contacts already. If, on the other hand you hadn't done all the work you've already done, then what interest would they have had in you? Zero. Unless of course there was going to be MORE money in it for them. But sure, if you already have contacts and success, it's not surprising that someone on the same level would talk to you or want to see if they can benefit from your contacts and hard work. That's how it always works. But this company has inserted a FEE into what normally happen naturally based on mutual interest that didn't involve a fee.
Greg, you came here at first and post a completely false and poorly verified claim that the Wall Street Journal had written a story about these guys. (And to be clear, Blazetrak did not make that statement, only Greg did). You act impulsively and always have and it has often not worked out well for you. You have also (to your credit) replaced that knee jerk strategy with patience and hard work that led to some real contacts and opportunities for you in the business. But you reverted back to the old Greg on this one. And you dragged a lot of people, some well meaning, some clueless, some not so well meaning and some from outer space to go back and forth about this. Since Ron had come here on his own to try and benefit from my hard work to promote his company to our member base on the cheap and without our usual scrutiny, we hashed this out in public. Some don't seem to like that I have a process of due dilligence to check folks out. Tough. I don't care if you like it or agree with it. It means nothing that you disagree because it's MY reputation and name and my trademark's reputation at stake, not theirs. So you folks should feel free to post your own names behind anything you want, just put it on your own website in your own name, not on my site.
Had Ron come to me first, we'd have discussed these matters off site and made decisions if JPF and his company had any common interests or trust. I wouldn't expect him to be forced to place JPF's name on his site, he should have come to our site and posted his site's promotional messages without permission. It's interesting, company who has come to me first for permission to post about their company has turned out to be legit. I ask them questions, they answer. I give them requirements they have to follow if they are going to post and if they follow them, all is well. The ones we have problems with are the ones who try to benefit off the hard work done by JPF to build membership without bothering to even act with respect or professionalism before trying to snare some business, which this company admits to having done already. If not for OUR hard work, they wouldn't have gotten that business. We got nothing of value in return from them and that's how they want it. One way.
The one sided free ride spamming is over though. Ron is welcome to respond on this post, but going forward, Blazetrak the company needs to find their marks elsewhere. They aren't interested in being checked out to protect our members. They only want to make a quick easy free buck. Ack.
