• Takes brass balls to sell tools!! Dou you have brass balls? Lol

• Jason, do you really think you are going to bait me into a keyboard argument by saying That I never did those numbers and I have failed. Please grow up you say you know me, I have no clue who you are…sorry. Any way I am fine thanks for your concern.

• Tim, I am not in love with myself, just defending the attacks.

  Not patting my self on the back….just defending the fact 12k a week is obtainable.

  Never said that you didn’t do those numbers, people on here dont think those numbers are obtainable.

  Please grow up? I would think I have been relatively calm considering every name i have been called, and the attacks. I am not complaining I am just saying.

• Guest17, be careful about making coments like that someone might take offense to it…lol

• Brass balls? Seriously??

  Wow, thank you for that well thought input…

• I told you guest17, lol…saw that one coming a mile away.

• Tim, Just watched the video, that was awesome! Shoot MATCO should play that at the NBC…ABC, you know as well as I do that is 100% true!

• This picture explains a lot. I think that hair transplant was sutured directly into Jason’s brain ! Doesn’t look like horse hair does so good on a windy day. Better try some hair gel.

• Ohhh Gary, you are just proving my point. I cant believe how jealous you are.

• Matco, it is good and even though its from a movie the principles of sale are all there.

• Yes they are, had never seen that before. You see the attacks I take, Gary posting a pic now.

• I’m not attacking you dude. Just humorous that the Wally almost tipped you over and Antron had to hold you up, that’s all.

• I think you are. But it’s ok, I have that pic up in my truck, my clients get a kick out of it. There’s even a better winners circle one if you look. BUT that hair is 100% the real deal. Even shaved it bald one time, 30 days and I was getting it cut again.

• hey matco#1 just finished route and paper work. best week ive had missed 15k by 6.00 sold 2 boxes and loads of tools. boy love my job. and i love my truck.its right outside…

• Matcoman, that’s awesome!!!! my truck is put away…so jealous cant park it at home

• Wow Matco#1, you called that one! Debbie must not have watched the video tim posted for us, otherwise she wouldn’t take offense to it lol.. Hell from the sounds of it I bet matcoman has a pair on his truck too! Way to go on the great week matcoman, you kicked my ass by about 5k!

• have itright outside frt door about 20 ft away plugged in,hoping to have a building put up this year, must sell mor to get it though

• So Gary, no wager tonight either???

• hey cant wait for expo,spend spend spend.yea right, will be my first.

• oh and a cust is to call me sat and might be delivering another box.sure hope so.

• Sure guest17,

  I’ll wager……..just have to wait to see if Arkansas covers or not, have a dime riding on it.

• you guys see what happens when work sat. its my best day,its payday.

• Matcoman, just make sure you plan prior to going to expo.
  A lot of distrbutors don’t have a plan, they go there, see all the deals get home to about 5 pallets of tools then a $50,000 toolbill with no way to pay.

  So figure out a budget, what you can afford weekly. They will give you 12 week terms, so if you can afford $2,000 a week in deffered, you know your budget has to be $24,000, make sure you stick to it.

  My advice, the day it opens, walk to every vendor, ask for a catalog or cd, you should be able to go thru in an hour. Then take them to your room. Now go back down to the expo and take your time and walk thru, talking to the vendors and ask them questions.

  Make sure you go to the training classes, even if sounds boring…go, if you take one or two things from each class you will improve your business.

  Last thing go to the piano bar at NY, NY….awesome time!

• Gary did you find the other pic? I know you like stalking…I mean looking for guys I remember when you were looking at Kevins pic in the magazine….maybe your real name isn’t Gary….Geraldine possibly that would make more sense why you are looking at guys all the time.

• hey you sing and play? not me haha

• Guest17, it was too easy with that one, after a couple of months you see a pattern…

  I showed my wife the video, she didn’t take offense to it, she thought it was true, she said every distributor should watch it. She is so smart.

• No I don’t sing or play, they would kick me out. It’s dueling piano players, basically a comedy show, but the audience gets involved its a riot!

• matcoman,

  Also be sure to buy lots of RedBacks at Expo since they are a Matco exclusive…………..oh wait, I forgot about last year in Orlando when Matco tried to pawn off those Chinese Shield boots and RedBack told Matco to FO.

  Nice move Matco, Oakleys will be next.

• well hope to see you there ,dose not look like ill have time at the flamingo though, trying my best to fit it in but just cant find the time,darn,,

• hey something came of it reback price came down ,moe sales and had meeting on oakleys no problem there, more seels there to.

• Matco#1, sounds like you won’t be going this year??

• i will be calling New York thanks Tommy

• Dueling pianos well be here tomorrow night, can’t wait to go!

• I have been to everyone…however have yet to sign up this year…not sure. Mom and Dad going, will definately go visit them since its a short drive.

• You going to vegas tomorrow night?

• Agree matcoman, something did come out of it.

  Think about it though, if you are redback why would you limit yourself to 1 company. It was great for us, still is, my shoe sales havent gone down. Snap on guys are selling the snap on chinese boots. Do we even cary the chinese boots anymore, I don’t know of anyone who ordered any.

  Oakleys, no issues there, MATCO and Oakley are tight!

• Matco ?
  Good question why would a vender put up with matco’s crap (ie: RedBack) My boot sales went up by 30-40% when the price went down. Matco needs to be put in check on alot of items. Not to worry about Okaley due to their sales volume if Matco screws with them they will drop Matco like a bad habit. Please all DBR”S talk to venders about everything.

• tlman,you probably know, sell a pair of boots to one guy in the shop, others will follow.

• They’re here for three nights

• Shield boots are in the next flyer, yuck!

• Jason

  Here’s a news flash for you…………Snap-Off is selling RedBacks, MAC is too, ANY independent can get them through ISN. What part of exclusive don’t you understand ? The only reason the price went down is because Matco dropped the ball with those crappy Shield boots.

• Wow these guys really have a hard on for Matco#1.. Better have someone read the posts for them

• Hey Gary why did you call me?

• Matco?
  I have sold countless pairs of RedBacks but when the price went far to high due to Matco Greed my sales went down. When my customers can buy a pair of Whites for the same price ( not that I expect anyone here to know the brand Whites) but give me a freaking break. I did buy the ISN starter pack but since Matco pulled their head out I have gone back but don’t take my money for granted.

• Same here tlman to the T, and yes whites are well known here too

• Can’t wait for the Red Back Nuclear deal if you know what I mean.

• Careful boys,

  You are admitting on a website that you buy product outside of Mato which is a direct violation of your Matco Contract. Who knows who might have been terminated for the very thing you are doing and yet somehow you still manage to hold on to your Franchise agreements while others have been CHURNED.

• Tlman, ever speak to the trusty- cook guy? Very educational..

• Todd,

  Your PA of 620 a wk is why you got kicked to the curb get a job look in the mirror you will find the source of all your problems

• Guest17?

  trusty who?
