[Shotimes] Re: (OT) How to avoid the pitfalls of pricing

[James White]

Worse yet, I am a (mostly) commission salesman.

60-70 hours/week.

Never too sick to answer the phone or get my e-mail.

NEVER too sick or busy to get a quote out.

Customers call me even when I am on the ski lift on vacation.  I 
know that I shouldn't even have my cell phone on, but with 87 year 
old parents. I am affraid to turn the cell off...

And the boss says that the world economy will have me working even 
harder to maintain the same income.
