It’s Worthless So It’s FREE!
Only folks who find refuge in the insecurity of the print services industry’s actors would bastardize the momentum in Artificial Intelligence and deliver worthless assessments for free.

WTF! It seems the print industry has folks offering free AI assessments! Of course, anyone looking at these adverts would immediately conclude that free is overpaying, since the time wasted going through a free AI assessment would be costly in many other ways.

My dealer friends, our industry has been led down many roads leading nowhere. Over the last decade, there have been so many promising diversification strategies or insane billing concepts, and way too many were based on unaccountable hope.

The dealers who have successfully transitioned to trusted service providers do not give away their intellect; instead, they monetize and capitalize on their experience, intellect, and track record. So, when it’s free, that is usually a red flag alert where one should run!
Have a great week my friends!
