- FullNameAndy 6y agoI think the team has done an amazing job at making it look like we are pretty mature. I can count everyone on two hands.
- alangibson 6y agoI really feel your pain on learning the manufacturing landscape, especially the point about manufacturers not being motivated by money. I'm about to launch something much less complicated than yours and I don't know how many times I've yelled 'do these people not like money?' after hanging up the phone.
- FullNameAndy 6y agoYea. No joke. I literally offered $25K on top to push our delivery up 4 weeks (beats flying it all over). They felt so disrespected I was ashamed.
- alangibson 6y agoI'm only dealing with European manufacturers, but I think it's the same everywhere. They're more worried about the downside of taking on a bad customer than picking up a little extra business.
