Things have gone down hill since the new ownership.

I set my own prices and run it.

Unable to order smaller quantities of items in the Marketplace and many are higher than I can purchase locally. Little support since I'm not earning millions. CEO is unapproachable and doesn't even take the time to get to know the "little guy"...I guess we don't make enough money for him to be considered valuable. Annual convention should be paid by the royalty fees and the locations are too expensive for who are in the "fish pond".

Communicate. The only ones I have recieved regular call backs/emails when needed is from Joe, Andy, and Lauren. I have always been pushed off by Chris Buitron...he won't even talk to me at conventions let alone look at me. Others seem to be too "big" for us little guys. Find ways to cut costs for the small business owner and be more flexible for those who are in areas with no income during the winter months due to cold/snow/freezing weather.
