Rick Ethridge

Hi, my name is Rick Ethridge, I am a Professional Salesman and I have spent the last 20+ years communicating openly and honestly with my customers. This has cost me many "Impulse Sales" and it has rewarded me with a fabulous life.

There is no shortage of suppliers that promise better than OEM performance, the cheapest price, 1% defect rates, built-in free shipping and a no questions asked 100% money back guarantee. But if you believe your most profitable vendor is the one that does not cost you customers, the best RMA policy is the one you use the least and your most valuable resource is accurate information you can rely on to run your business.... Here is what I can promise you, if we can build a relationship founded on trust, commitment and mutual benefit, I will become your most profitable resource Please look us up on LinkedIn, review our customer referrals or to get an idea about our business philosophy please review the Green Project Capability Statement. I am certain you will find Green Project products are competitively priced and that we have a verifiable history of delivering consistent quality Inkjet & Toner Cartridges. Specialties   1. If it can't be done, I will tell you, it can't be done. 2. I can immediately solve GP related issues. 3. I am reachable 24/7. 4.

Volunteer Discussion Participant at Active Discussion Volunteers

July 2011 - March 2012

It recently occurred to me that I have been working 2 jobs, Participating in LinkedIn Discussions has become my second job. Every article on my blog http://gpinkntonerdistributor.3dcartstores.com/blog.asp was inspired by a Volunteer Discussion Participant. I always say "Thank You" to the Volunteer Discussion Participant but sometimes a Thank You just doesn't seem like a fair trade. Real Professionals like Michael Beck, Mark Hunt, Lee Salz, Craig Faczan, Frank D. DiMatteo, Bernie Droulliard, Chris Anderson, Mark Simko, Petr Kulakov, Matt Willer, Brad Roderick, and Dave Westake just off the top of my head. I would like to think that some people would feel the same way so, I thought I would list my second job, Volunteer Discussion Participant, on my LinkedIn Profile and would encourage all active Volunteer Discussion Participants to do likewise. We don't have to have to same ideology or even see "eye to eye" on the various issues being discussed, one thing we can agree on is that we have all received benefits that Volunteer Discussion Participants provide. The least we can do is give those that provide the "magic" a positive recommendation.
