(A sure sign of a rookie) He wont be getting any help from me until he sees the light, and the customers see rite through that drama, and call me back to set the appointment. When you are good, the people can hear the confidence in your tone, and the same the other way too.


Gabby should read this post and it may better help him understand his heroes are braggarts.

If you run your yap and bad mouth folks it turns off a large majority of people. It does me. A lot of the world is "smaller" than it used to be. There may come a time you might "get" or "give" some business.
I know it is hard for a lot of people to understand, it pays to be impeccable with ones word, and it pays to be nice.

20 years ago, when I first started trapping in this area, there was a trapper that had a section of the county tied up. A neighbor trapper of mine contacted him for me to take my beaver. Fur was of no value (for the beaver), and I was catching for the Bounty. He would meet me every few days and take my beaver minus the tails to use for "coyote bait". That went on for about two years until I was talking to a few farmers at the local gas station. I ask them if they had any beaver I could catch. One farmer spoke up "James Smith catches my beaver", "why he caught 25 in one pond. "I pay him $5 dollars a beaver and the county pays $25". "I saw them on the back of his truck", Charles said.

I ask him "Did they have tails"?

I eventually got "Lying James'" areas to trap but it took over 5 years before the spoof was seen through. Lost a lot of needed income because of him.

He was actually given the title "Lying James" in the county, but his gift of gab was so great he was not shunned.
