I feel your pain. Really I do. 

But sometimes we are our own worst enemies. These companies survive because we let them. I know, it’s a tough decision. Its like a bad dose of medicine. But you have to bite the bullet and take the medicine, bad as it is, to cure the disease. 

Don’t work for these people. Don’t degrade yourself, your knowledge and profession. Don’t enable these types of businesses.  You are better than that. You serve a higher purpose than that. It really is that simple. 

These types of business fed off of you. They undercut prices, promise statewide coverage at ridiculous prices and turn times. And; they accomplish just that by using you and stabbing you (and me) in the back all the while they are doing it. Just stop. 

Sure they will turn to other unsuspecting examiners, hungry for business people, and will survive for a time. But if enough of us wake up and smell the coffee we can root out this evil among us. But its going to take unity among us to accomplish. 

In our business you DO have to look a gift horse in the mouth. There is a reason that new client order ended up in your inbox. Don’t just jump on that order and drive 150 miles using your knowledge and expertise to make THEM look good. Investigate who they are and what they do. If they are a user, don’t enable them. Period. If they are a legitimate player they will have a good track record and a history of prompt payment and response to inquiry. Investigate before you put your heart, soul, and reputation into their pocket.
