re: Doc Bud - High Brix Q&A With Pictures
Doc, an idea for you... Maybe you can send a kit, to the P.O.M. winners to have them try HB growing, and experience the difference.
I've thought about this....definitely easy to do. But I've decided against it for several reasons.
I've built 3 businesses from nothing. Each of these 3 businesses are profitable. During my entire lifetime I've spent exactly 0.00 dollars on advertising of any kind....I've always functioned 100% on word-of-mouth.
My strategy for doing that is to simply focus of quality and service. It works. Every time.
Also, something I was taught a long, long time ago is that there must always be an even exchange in a business relationship: IE the buyer and seller are both happy and are both able to get "more than they paid for" with the transaction.
Giving away something that has value will not work in the long term. Never does. When you give it for free, there's no even exchange and it becomes impossible to establish value....which means you must resort to advertising, enticements, "specials" etc, and people compare the price of your product to the price of others that may or may not be a worthy comparison.
I prefer to constantly upgrade and improve the quality of the product and rely on happy customers who understand several things:
1. I work my ass off to do prompt shipping, support and service.
2. The quality of what I'm producing is in another class.....and many of my customers not only know this, but are duplicating and exceeding what I'm able to do.
3. I provide all of the above at a FAIR price. No gimmicks, no money wasted on advertising, no "freebies." Fairness, honesty, integrity, service. Period.
My dad had all kinds of great sayings, one of my favorite was, "Excellence opens doors."
If I can provide you with a means to grow what I'm starting to call "Cannabis that opens doors" for a price that comes in much LOWER than many of the nutrient lines that aren't anywhere near as good, and I can do that in a way that makes both me and you happy with each and every exchange.....
That spells success!
I'll never build an empire this way....and I have no intention of doing so. But I really like getting 50-1 happy emails and sincere "thank you's" from people who feel they got more than their money's worth.....and all I have to do to get that is try to do the very best I can do and share it with others......with them paying a faction of what I had to pay to learn it all......and they tell someone, and they tell someone.....
Next thing you know I'm looking at hiring someone to help and that's BEFORE I even have a storefront of any kind.
So, here's what you can expect from me:
1. Nothing but the best in quality. Never anything less than the pinnacle. If I find something better than what I'm using, I'll immediately adopt it. I'm never threatened by something or someone who is better......I seek out and embrace such things.
2. Competitive pricing due to low overhead of having no advertising and no loss leaders. The quality speaks louder than the adverts.
3. Fast service, fast replacement of damaged goods.
Get this....I'm looking at LOWERING the price for the kit in the near future. As you know, I also provide everything in bulk at the lowest possible price as well.
If you can afford to give it away there.....it's only because someone over here is paying more than they should to make up the difference. I don't want anyone paying more than they should....whether its me or you.
Mutually beneficial....that's the ticket.
