Optical knowledge? Ok. I'm ready....
And I *like* Silhouette. There's no company whose every product is perfect.

After all this commotion on this thread I wanted to find out what the word "troll" really means and found it on Wikipedia plus a lot more, if you go on the link above and see for yourself.Originally Posted by [URL

Troll (Internet)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
This article is about internet slang. For other uses, see Troll (disambiguation).
In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is someone who posts inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as a forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[3] The noun troll may also refer to the provocative message itself, as in: "That was an excellent troll you posted."
While the word troll and its associated verb trolling are associated with Internet discourse, media attention in recent years has made such labels subjective, with trolling describing intentionally provocative actions and harassment outside of an online context. For example, mass media has used troll to describe "a person who defaces Internet tribute sites with the aim of causing grief to families."[4][5]
So why choose such a description for a name ?????????

lol ok I deserved that
I have been off and not at my 8-6.
Stop that!
Those broken parts should be returned for credit. Their policy is very liberal in that regard.
The rep that is not welcome in our office was never willing to help send anything back.Stop that!

I need a fancy picture like you, so you won't have to ask. I am a he.
The NERVE! Isn't that their job? Sounds like you did draw a bad apple from the rep tree there though if returns are an issue. Personally I love them, wear them, adjust, fit and sell them all day long with no issues. Welcome to the board.
Their job is to service their accounts. For their pricing I expect the frame rep to do just that. Then there is the "Partnership" program letter with the price increase letter a few weeks behind. I have filled the void with other lines and my patients couldn't be happier. I have yet to have one person walk due to not selling sillhouette. I always offer them a frame that wont break and that is less expensive.
Wow. I hate it that you see so much breakage in their frames. I see maybe one snapped temple every six months and those are usually wearer error and usually replaced under their 2 yr warranty with no issues. But to each his own, there are plenty of alternatives out there. :)
yeah at 1/3 of the cost
not to mention the luxury rimless eyewear that just destroys them on quality and style.
I do like silhouette clips because they fit my kishimotos perfect.
Please tell me this isn't the first time you noticed "trolling" on Optiboard!

Every office/shop has their own preference with regards to manufacture and style. You have to go with what works for your office, but I disagree with dissing a company that does fine in many locations. Sounds more like a rep issue as opty4062 pointed out. I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion though.
Welcome to Optiboard! Hope the first spanking didn't hurt to much.
Did you say Kishimotos!?!?!?!?!
I like you already!
Welcome to our hideaway!
Why not sell these superior alternatives (which are a 1/3 of price) for same? If not more? Why less? Because you paid less? But it's superior isn't it? Shouldn't have any problems getting more dough.....
No it is the Company, and the Rep.
Yes sir it is a great product.
Superior because they don't break like the silhouettes. Less because I can, and yet I still make the same as I would selling the Silh line. Plus I have happy customers that trust me, and the products I sell. They come back and are loyal customers not just one time sales/rappings.
Shouldn't have any problems getting more dough.......................................
Would that not be one of the attitudes that powers the on line opticals ????????????????????
I like Silhouette too, their products are easy to work with in our lab; given that you process the lenses correctly. I also truly believe that I can learn something from everybody, and I don't doubt for a minute that we all can learn something from Optical T even if it may be what not to do in some cases.
Nope! It's ok to stand behind a great product that you package with great service, and ask for it. Just because you find a less expensive alternative doesn't mean you have to charge less for it. That's not greed. Everyone's philosophy is different. Some products we'll pass on the savings, others we won't. I'm never going to apologize for that. But I think if every single little scenario you get worried that you're "rapping" someone, then idk why you're worried about their wallet? You must not believe you're worth what you're asking?? Then lower your prices. Otherwise, you've made a good business purchase and are rewarded for it. Not driven more ppl to online.

So it's not OK to charge for a higher level of service or make a profit? Do you sell your chemicals at cost?

What exactly is a higher level of service? I think that you if you go above and beyond what it takes to accomplish the job then yes you can charge for your extra services. You can also not charge and treat the extra services as added value for your customer. As long as you are making a profit that will sustain and enable grow your business...it's all good.
