[QUOTE="Shoot Summ, post: 1545687, member: 1055"] I have several friends that run their businesses that blend working on a particular product, and retail sales. It proves to be very difficult if you don't have someone running the retail side as you end up handling that side of the business instead of working on Customer projects. The guy that wants to buy a $1 target will show up in the middle of working on a $1000 gun and want to spend an hour chatting. Always enjoyable but not paying the same rate as the $1000 gun. It's also difficult to staff the retail side as you are the reason people come in so they want to talk to you when they do, not your retail sales person. In all cases they have modified the "store" hours to be shorter, then work before and after retail hours to get the work out. This is a great step for you Don, glad things are going well enough to take it. [/QUOTE]
