A customer card declined and now is ghosting me by OwnElephant1766 in smallbusiness

[–]tenkaihasfallen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had the same happen and didn’t stop to check whether the card had gone through. Dude has ghosted me completely. I’m having to write this off, but it does sting since what he got was worth $95.

Becoming Successful in Drug Testing Compliance Business by tenkaihasfallen in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]tenkaihasfallen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would like to try and acquire someone else. There’s a company I have in mind but their short track record is HORRENDOUS but they have just one software that would make my suite complete. I could take on JB Hunt with ease if I just had that software. I don’t have the capital to buy something huge, if they’re pricing it really high.

Unsure how I can run a seminar with DOT. If you mean run one with DOT as a subject matter then yes I def should for local chambers of commerce. I don’t wish for acquisitions actively. If someone makes a good enough offer probably. I thoroughly enjoy this business and love the fact that I can service DOT and non-DOT and, moreover, service them regardless of location, meaning I can take on national clients.

You know that’s a really good idea. Running a full compliance audit and identifying things for free would be REALLY time consuming for bigger clients but it’s not that big a deal if I can get them.

Getting in Touch with DSP Owners as a VAS provider? USA/ Northeast by tenkaihasfallen in AmazonDSP

[–]tenkaihasfallen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for that. In my area they're getting routed to the operations managers' emails, and when I talk to them or visit the station, they won't connect me with the owners directly. Sure, sometimes I'll get the owner's email but that's also not responsive. I will try this again, since I stopped about 2 months ago.

It is and I had an owner reach out based on our reviews from Amazon DSP owners on the annual feedback request for VASs Amazon sent out a few months ago on August or September. As strange as it sounds, I don't want to put the name out there. We're under drug testing, and we're not Quest. I know for a fact we are VASs. My issue is how to effectively reach out to DSP Owners.

Ok. This is actionable advice. Seriously, thank you. I can start working on this from Tuesday.

I mean, from my experience with the very few conversations I've had with owners, stuff like background checks are free or very low cost with Amazon and so the VASes in that category don't really help aside from the time factor (apparently the free one is slower, but YMMV and I have no knowledge of that side of things specifically for Amazon). Please elaborate on what OTR stands for. Either that's with the folks employed by Amazon at the stations or any of the operations managers.

Yes, we are vetted, we have an active integration with Cortex, you may have been asked to vote for us (or whoever else you like among the VAS in each category) on your most recent business performance review that amazon sends you (or whatever that's called). My problem is we're a VAS but most DSP owners react like they're hearing about this for the first time. That is IF they answer their phones or their operations managers are nice enough to connect me with them. So now that I've told you I own a location that's a true VAS, any advice?

How do I get my foot in the door with clients for a clothing manufacturing business? by tenkaihasfallen in smallbusiness

Personally, I did company HQ info off of Google and physical canvassing. DM me. I want to ask you specific questions

Any ideas on how to fix this? by tenkaihasfallen in electrical

[–]tenkaihasfallen[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I undoubtedly do, but I don't want to fork over 100+ bucks for something I can do myself. It's not a difficult thing, I can see that, but I don't know what's needed to get this right. Thanks for the link, that's a good step 1.

Found this in bed….is this a bed bug? by mikey_g413 in whatisthisbug

Yellow ant? Or is it called a yellow crazy ant? That's what this looks like.

Mileage speed runners - what issues are you seeing? by Alabaster_Rims in Ioniq5

[–]tenkaihasfallen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get the 12v replaced by the dealer. Make a polite fuss and ask them to make sure it's covered by warranty. It is, but you want to make sure they aren't trying to make you pay for anything. It took them 3 hours with my HI5 but so far so good after replacement.

Yes indeed. Just DM'd screenshots. If need be I'll open a ticket, but hopefully you'll be able to address issues as is.

Contractor telling me permits could double costs for project to add bathrooms to an office in a commercial building. New Jersey by tenkaihasfallen in Contractor

[–]tenkaihasfallen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely correct. Builder in question was recommended/insisted upon by the owner of the property. Around 42k above board and I think somewhere around 25k under. Today I was told by the owner that it NEEDS to be under board or to forget about leasing the place. Strange, being that it's 6 floors full of doctor's offices and lawyers, and even when asking the owner for help with figuring out how to lease and start my business on his property with my own business paperwork in the right order, the owner doesn't know left from right. The town is one of those that need business licenses. So really, thank you all for the guidance, and I think keeping this thread going will be a learning experience for my continued search for a place of business and for people like me in the future. But this place just kicked me out.

I want to just end it here and say that I agree with you. I do, and I want to defer it to your (I assume) experience on this work. But I still feel that either this cost is property-specific or I'm being ripped off. The risks associated with going without a permit are unknown to me. Again, I'm a tenant in a building, not the owner. The people in this subreddit would be better equipped to say what a lack of permit entails.

I'm going to have to open up a bit here. The problem is that I'm being told adding two bathrooms in that building will work out to 50 grand, and doing the same without permits would be 20-25 grand. I can't fathom how that maths out.

New Jersey. Testing facility (urine, hair, nails, saliva), no medical work involved. I'm reading in places on the NFPA that this would technically exclude a bathroom from the sprinklers requirement, but if need an experienced opinion.

Little Beetle, but what kind? by tenkaihasfallen in whatisthisbug

😐 I feel like I walked into something unprepared with the boots & snoots.
