Hello Dano,
I've been a full-time dealer for Kaeser & Blair for 13 years now. Yes, this is how I provide for my family, as it is our sole means of support. I've been full-time self-employed since 1987. I have over 200 existing customers, some who have been doing business with me for over 2 decades.
I highly recommend the business, but qualify it as something that works, if a person works the opportunity. Being self-employed requires discipline. This business does require sales, but not necessarily selling. I know that sounds contradictory, but I get a lot of orders that require little or no selling.
For example, I received a repeat order for 250 lanyards for a local technical college today. Nice commission with no selling involved - except that I sold them 5 or more years ago.
A little clarification on your terminology. Kaeser and Blair is a distributor - one of the Top 10 in the US, in a industry with over 15,000 distributors. I am one of Kaeser and Blair's 3800 dealers. Every dealer is an Independent Agent, in control of their schedule, who and where the call on, etc.
Feel free to contact me direct with further questions, or visit my website listed below for more details.
Dennis Bevers
My home-based business that works for me and thousands of others

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so.

You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials. By posting messages and/or content on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, you give permission for Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications to display, distribute and use the posting and content for publication, advertising, promotion, excerption or example.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
