Hey, Sounds great! Where do I sign up? You mean I can...
- build their client base.
- lose my business identity.
- take all of the legal liability.
- give up a percentage of my profits.
- get a contractors license and let them benefit.
- allow them to take my employees to open new markets.
All of this for a small fee.
"Get a contractors license...."? Sure, and they'll respect peoples homes, show up on time, take care that it's done right, follow up with the clients and provide post sales support too! Heck, you'll be lucky they don't screw up your house, steal from you or worse.
It's all going to come to a real nasty conclusion soon when someone gets hurt and the states finally clamp down. Hopefully someone doesn't have to die first.
The guy getting paid $90 bucks to hang the TV isn't going to spend 2 minutes making sure the wall can hold that shiny new 60" and I can only hope there isn't a child under it when it comes down.
I am sure there are some who know what there doing, hard times all around and all. But, it's going to take a LOT of trucks out there to handle what the big blue boxes all have in mind, and there simply aren't enough installers to go around.
