I agree with you dan, there are only a few of my accounts that I think he might have some success in taking and to tell the truth, they're the ones that I probably wouldn't be too unhappy about losing.
I've worked long and hard to establish myself as providing a service that exceeds my competitors and demanding quality from my employees. I'm comfortable with my clients' loyalty to me, but it burns my hind tail that a "friend" would try to take short cuts at my expense. I've turned away work that I know were accounts of my friends.
This kid lost his Dad at 15, he was also a friend of mine, and I've tried to offer guidance where I can without being intrusive but he's got an independent wild streak in him and thinks he's got the world by the short hairs. This is my repayment.
I plan to hook up with him over the weekend and discuss this, my next move will depend on his response. Believe me, putting him out of business has crossed my mind. Wouldn't be too hard to do, I know he's in hock up to his eyeballs.
I think I'm venting here but I appreciate everyone listening and offering their thoughts. Thanks!
