Good post Cory. So often is it forgot that the porn is just a vehicle to profit from and that this business has mostly the same aspects any other business does. No one will be happier or wealthier from accentuating the porn, or personal disputes over the boards. To all: be professional!

A very good example was Marc De on his own board. One of the masters of smut refused to use the f-word over there. That's class, that's also how reps should act.Comment

Excellent points, Cory.....just because the product we're peddling happens to be overt sexually doesn't mean that this stops being a business.

all true.
problem is the old 80/20 rule.
only 20% of the people who read and post here are serious players who do 80% of the business, and actually make a living at this.
and those 20% already know what you've said.
and the other 80% are the kids and hangers-on who post galleries, or want to surf porn all day as an excuse for a job because KFC won't hire them.
and because of that i see GFY less and less as a valuable business tool.Comment

Of course you were thinking the same thing, you have been around on a "chosen basis." You are a smart guy that would succeed at anything business oriented.Originally posted by Eric_aka_RedEyes
Great post Cory, I was looking at the thread that I believe gave you the inspiration for this post earlier today and thinking all the same things.
If you look through the names in this thread, you potentially see the 20% manifesting in a small way. This thread is filled with some of the classiest and most succesful people in the industry.
As far as that other thread is concerned, it (not the live sex aspect) is the only reason that I will occasionally lie about my presence in this industry. It really brings it down and overshadows the many great and dynamic individuals we have. People don't understand what they potentially lose, as Peaches stated, by using those low-class marketing techniques.
Let me know when you are down in Newport again, dinner is on me.Comment

Well said.
There are companies who I have deliberately steered traffic away from due to their rep's behavior. And there are people who I will no longer recommend their services based on the way they treat people on the boards.
I'm not talkin about drunkeness or silliness. But raw offensiveness is something I cannot reward.
My dad told me when I was young.
"If you are REALLLY fucking smart, then you can be an asshole.
Otherwise, you better be nice to people."Comment

I love you. You are great.Originally posted by sherie
Wow Cory, you've had a moment of clarity ;) Just kidding sweetie. Great post. I know that sometimes we all have our days, but pointing fingers and making accusations when one should really be concentrating on the job that is required of them is somewhat a waste of time and bandwidth.
Pissing can be fun to fill in voids, but you are correct, one never knows whom they are going to piss off in the end. People should never concern themselves with what credentials one may or may not have. In the end who really cares. If someone claimed to be Santa, I would ask why in the hell I never got that Axl Rose 10 years ago ;)Comment

I am impressed with you because you are a great promoter and you wear flashy clothes. I can't help it, I love flashy clothes.Originally posted by kBizzle
Great post Cory
Also it's important to mention " DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE"
Everyone is always so impressed by people's money and personal property
Remember anyone can lease a car, rent a house, or have flashy clothes-
You just never get to see how broke they really are until you pay a surprise visit on them and see them getting everything repossessed
I have been there and it still makes me laugh-
Also just because a person buys you a drink at a trade show it doesn't necessarily make them a " good guy"Comment

I always love seeing you guys. You, Buzz, Rachel and Vanilla are class acts. Your sites speak for themselves.Originally posted by Stewie
Cory, I said I was sorry for running around drunk and topless during our last meeting - I won't let it happen again.
Vanilla and Rachel need to whip some of these other girls in shape. They are the real leaders when it comes to blending intelligence and beauty.

So Cory, is the reason you still haven't gotten back to me about my email because of my lack of professionalism?
I'll be the first to admit that professionalism isn't exactly my thing. I think that a lot of times "professionalism" involves too much candy-coating, fluff, and not enough truth and honesty. That's just the way I have always seen it. I'd rather sit back and know that I'm talking to "the real deal". No bull shit, no lies, just straight up business and honesty.

We are redoing our site, taking vast measures to cut out our traffic trades, which is why we have not added your galleries as of yet. I want the quality of traffic to improve a bit. As always, business is a work in progress.
It should be soon.

Great fucking thread..... I can add one:
When you leave company "A" and go to work for company "B", do not bash company "A". I was Zebra, our marketing guy at the time, and one sales rep had the balls to tell him that "I steered you wrong with company "A" but I would never do that to you again". So you screwed once and but now I can trust you? I don't think so.Herschel Savage

Great Post !
This may wake up some of the "kids" that are currently posting
galleries and think talking smack and bashing people is ok for them because they don't need them. Yet in the back of their head they want to one run a big program one day and when that day comes they wonder why no one is sending any traffic !Comment

It amazes me that people don't understand they cant be putting down or detracting from one company to try and promote another. This also applies to sales in general, you should never try and sell using a negative technique like that.
People gossip and spread filth like mad, but you would be suprised at the thought process you trigger within someone when your sole purpose is to paint someone/company with a brush of shit.
I for one usually like to investigate when someone is "Talking smack".
Be nice to everyone..kharma and all that.
