[QUOTE="It will be fine, post: 1548407, member: 55017"] The plan is to have contractors pay the cost of the crazy growth we experience. Established routes make a profit, when you have to split them the contractor eats a loss for a few years. They count on the contractors having too much invested to bail, and when the new routes are losing money it kinda makes it harder to sell. So, a contractor with several hundred grand invested in a business will just eat the loss in the hope that it one day will be profitable again. Unfortunately the way we grow we are constantly having to add new money losing routes. Now I just budget for at least one losing route going out everyday. It's kinda like the Spanish Prisoner con. Con man keeps asking for more fees from the mark that hopes for a big payout eventually. [/QUOTE]
