| Post subject: | NETWORKING HERE - REBUTTLE (part 2) |
Continuing my re-buttle in reference to networking, there are a few things I need to mention so new persons to this industry understand the big picture. When I first started out as know nothing newbie in this biz, you had to find someone to learn from. Here in Pa. there were and aren’t current laws governing fugitive recovery, so you had to find and learn the hard way. Now, as a lot of seasoned and established people on here may remember, there was a huge boom to enter this biz in the mid 90’s thanks to the oncoming of the information super highway known as the Internet. As such, there were all kinds of folks vying for business. This business was turning cutthroat back then Networking was an occasional perk, if you had the luxury of finding a trusted and established person in the business. A lot of the time, you would contact someone, they said sure we will help, send the information, and the next thing you know they grab your skip and get the $$$. You did that only once or twice before you learned a valuable lesson. As such, a lot of folks tried to attach themselves to an association or organization such as NABEA, ABEA, and etc. to have “certified” networking partners throughout the country or in a given state. This however became quite costly as these organizations charged hundreds of dollars for membership fees. This wasn’t a feasible solution to the problem for a lot of quality people in this industry. So, where do you turn to?? Well, we go back to what started the problem, the Internet. You start searching for a better means of communicating with your peers. And what did I find? The Fugitive Recovery Forum, this forum. On here way back when was a huge opportunity to put your best foot forward and communicate with other members in this industry and learn thru open lines of communication. Sure, there were rough spots back then, but for the most part, it was a good way to openly learn and navigate your way to making solid contacts in this business. As of today, I am proud to say that I am a “verified” member of this forum. I consider a lot of people on here as friends, even though we have not yet met in person. We treat each other like part of our family, with respect and undo effort to assist each other in any way we can. And I have the comfort in knowing that help is just a phone call away. So, for all the new persons that come on here and expect immediate respect and cooperation, you will get just that, as long as you give it first. We here on this forum have been here through the tough times and the good times. So when someone unknown to us as a whole starts to put us in a bad light before they actually get to know the quality and integrity of the people on here that contribute so much to put our business in a positive light on a regular basis, then shame on you, for you are the one who is losing out on a golden opportunity. Thanks for listening. |
