I met with some competitors up here that are on this board. We network together. Can be touchy if the guy doesn't want to be professional. You need to play that by ear.

He could become a competitor too. I'm doing an estimate down there. Bottom of Calvert. He's here in the RCIA, but aint paid yet.

So anyway. I can talk about him here, lol!!!

I just want advice.

For one, the dude was rude last year. Didnt help him. He lied too, about his experience.

How much should I share with him, and trust that he reciprocate work? He can have all of St Mary, bottom of Calvert too, If he reciprocates.

Bill you know who I'm talking about. Meeting him after house est. in broomes Isle. Tomorow. What would you do?

Anybody? lol!!! What would you do?

He's Rude & And he Lies....So lets break that down.

"How much should I share with him, and trust that he reciprocate work?"
If he's rude to you, that tells me that he doesn't respect you.
If he's a Liar how do you trust him?

Business relationships (Or Networking) require a couple of things to work....#1 is respect....#2 Trust.

Just my .02

I wouldn't share squat with him. I'd talk to you all day, Mike, but sometimes you have to draw the line with certain people.

All great advice, I think you got your answer.

EDIT: I Didnt see any value there.

I met with Bruce up here and I don't regret it one bit/ Hopefully he doesn't either. I hope we can help each other out this summer. I have nothing but utmost respect for him and appreciate everything he has done for RCIA and helping me out. Thanks brother.

Simple. We are competitors but have met and are networking together instead of cutting the feet out from under each other. That was what the question was what to do about a competitor and Mark was responding.

I networked with alot of guys last year.

All was free.

This year all 10%. Either way. You throw it to me or I throw it to you.

I'll sell the job, before they call you!

If you paid.

Do me the same, If you get a hit, in my area? kinda, we still figuring this out.

Start making friends with roof washers in your area.

There is more money in this, than lowballing each other.
