OptiBoard Professional

You're welcome. I do not think we see eye to eye on the issue you speak of however. I do feel that to make this job into the profession it was and should be again, we do need to raise the entry requirements universally. If anyone off the street can do it, then it's irrelevant. My two cents.
So are you taking the NCLE? Good luck if so!

Hi Canaan -- Certainly understand your brother's position. While better-established commissioned reps can make quite a good living, there is a start-up period where cash flow is precious. 7eye alone would not be enough to assure food on the table in the early months. We sincerely appreciate you sending on any more rep leads, as we do have several good optical dealers already established in the area, and would like to see them get local service soon. Be well, and thanks for thinking of us......Bob

That's awesome! Did you get to visit Brookside? There is a really good store there called Brookside Optical. My dream is to own my own Optical Boutique one day.

No I didn't, but I had a great trip out there, and even met up with my best friend from high school that I hadn't seen in over 20 years. The trip was inspirational, especially the downtown (high end) area, in that it made me want to open another office in a similar area w/in an hour of where I live. As soon as my flight landed, I drove over there, found store front that was a former optical, and signed the lease the next day. I opened that office in July, and it's really taken off.

I can't wait to get back to your area again, and may stop there on the way out to Texas this Spring.
