Re: Is Your Business Card As Good As This?
The guys a blowhard, he sells business cards, whooee! what a stud.
Dumb azz cards for blowhards. They don't fit anywhere, who would be impressed with thar card. I agree a nicer card might be effective, but not a big card you would set as`ide because its the size of a desk calender. My opinion.

Re: Is Your Business Card As Good As This?
No salesman ever sold anything because of how nice his business card was.
I wonder how much he would like me when he handed me his card and I handed it back to him and told him it's too big, there is nothing I can do with it? |

Re: Is Your Business Card As Good As This?
I agree with Finley and Silvertree. If the thing won't fit in my wallet, it will get lost in the trash on my floorboards.

Re: Is Your Business Card As Good As This?
I think the guy know hows to build a sale. He kept me watching the whole 2 minutes and 9 seconds of his video.
I think his business card is nothing impressive. Sure it has every single option a business card can have. It's enlarged. It has a die cut. It has foil stamp. It has a pop out. It costs $4 a piece. yikes! No matter how self-serving it is it will never bring a positive return on investment. The card does fit the person. It is as big as his head his.

Re: Is Your Business Card As Good As This?
At $4 a pop I would give it to someone and have them look at it and then ask for it back. WOW
Could you image working for this clown. After two days he would get one right between the eyes..............

Re: Is Your Business Card As Good As This?
OK guys, the dweeb aint cool, but the dweeb has a point. You don't need to spend $4.00 on a pop up business card, but it is worth getting something really nice. Figure $100 for the design and $100 for the cards. That should get you about 5,000 cards, which is about a lifetime supply. Just make sure not to change your phone number or address. you can get some nice ones from partnerprinting com and you can get some stainless steel ones from metalcards com that are about $1.00 each. You only need about 1 sale ever to pay for em.

Re: Is Your Business Card As Good As This?
C'mon guys, shouldn't every contractor have a card with a pop out of some kind of structure? What better way to demonstrate "building" than a pop out? I would think everyone here should be rushing out to get cards like this made.

Re: Is Your Business Card As Good As This?
The guy's an idiot, imagine what that $4 card would look like coming out of the pocket of a dirty smelly contractor
I cannot believe how many I hand out w/o having my briefcase with me; just last night at my son's track meet I struck up a conversation with someone's grandmother, she had a leaky window and asked for my card. Oh, and she didn't have a purse along to put that mega card into, it went in her pocket. He's an idiot.

Re: Is Your Business Card As Good As This?
HAHAHA!
Blowhard, my mother, who is 88 would say, "He's so full of sh*t his ears stink"! A legend in his own mind, I wouldn't brag about taking 25 years to design a business card. Crikky, you'd think he invented the wheel.

Re: Is Your Business Card As Good As This?
Silly little contractor slave nobodies of importance, this fine gentleman is not of the dirty blue collar class. Obviously he deals with fellow gentlemen of a truly refined nature who happen to become erect when seeing such a fine example of frivolous and wasteful spending.
pshaw, sometimes you have to crawl up out of the dark pit of contractor hell to see how the other half live...silly working class hobos.

He is a good salesman. A better one is the printing company that talked him into 4$ business cards.

Re: Is Your Business Card As Good As This?
I would buy those business cards......... If they came with a pair on hip boots. I had to kill his commercial, the bull was starting to get deep.
