I personally traveled to Charleston, SC last July for Richard’s “Come get inspired” speech. It was a joke! It was to start at 9am…..they finally got about 3,000 of us sitted by 11am. I guess the only fun moment was in the beginning when Richard supposely calls Ginger……they are doing this over the mic……and Richard asked Ginger for a ride and Ginger says she can not do it……Richard comes back with a great line….”Well, I guess I will have to take that “Piece of _hit car Gus left behind”. The meeting lasted about 2 to 3 hours. Then he decided to turn it into “Meet The Staff of Trademark” picture rally. He pulls up everyone who wants to stick around to take pictures with the staff & calls it “Taking pictures with his 50 State Partners”.

The whole meeting was a joke….people spent time, money for what????

Richard C. Davis is a JOKE!

Richard and Staff, Im A hugh fan of your company and everyone there. Youve done many wonderful things for good people. Im looking to relocate to start a new life,so many terrible things have happened to over the last few years. I do believe Charleston is the place for me. I hope we can do business and find me a new start. I love the craftmanship you offer and the quality in the homes you remolded. Please contact me for further info.

So, who else went?

Here’s my take… I posted this on the WORTHLESS ‘TLC’ (cough) “Discussion
Board” but the ocassional,
part time, maybe a
few times a week, mod_ivy “moderator” killed it evidently. This was in response to the obviously selective comments posted there…

OK, mousey. One more, just for you ; )

Like you, I turned this into a mini vacation as well. That alone was awesome! I wanted to visit Charleston anyway and when I heard about the speech I just adjusted my schedule accordingly.

Frankly I’m flabbergasted by some of the comments here but at the same time, not surprised. Richard was selling his vision for Trademark. As with anything in sales, you first have to sell yourself which is exactly what he was doing. So some think he was all over the place? Well, that’s just a style thing, his style. Uncut and unedited. You hear what you want to hear I suppose and just block out the rest for some. Others go with the flow and listen! And for those of us that did listen, we heard plenty!

I have no illusions about becoming an area partner but I’m open to it! As with anything else, if it’s not a win- win then there isn’t the possibility of a deal. It’s as simple as that. It’s a process or a journey if you will for both parties to see if there’s a there, there. This was the first step in that process. Richard laid it out and you and I went to hear it.

Here’s a taste. It started off with Ginger saying Richard was running late. She left the stage and you hear Richard and Ginger talking…

Richard: Ginger, my car’s broke down and I don’t how I’m gonna get there. All of got is Gus’s old piece of shit car and I don’t even know if I can get it started

Then she introduced the Fire Chief Rusty Thomas who spoke. He finished…

Richard: I’m almost there Ginger…

Then Richard plows on stage from the left in Gus’s old car. It was funnier than hell! ROFL!

That’s it, I’m not getting into the nuts and bolts of the ‘deal’ ; )

So why is he charging 45 bucks to pitch an investment scheme to people who are willing to sit for a couple of hours and listen to him? Thats like going to a car dealer and paying money to have him try to sell you a car!

Hey Richard, huge fan, you need to come to Texas so we can show those Montelongos how it’s done.

PS: I think Trademark could help save time in finding franchisees by posting downloadable information about their franchise offering and the requirements.

A few days ago out of curiosity about Trademark’s entree into franchising as a means to expansion I looked at a number of Franchise entrepreneur magazines and there are quite a few real estate companies which are franchised and have been for many years, the concept is not new but Trademark’s methods are a new twist. It appears that each of them require investment anywhere from approximately $4000 to five and six figures. My guess, part of the profits will be from the initial investment requirement that will be significant in determining the ability of the participants to engage in any or all of the same functions that Trademark is engaged in now such as are evident at the site http://www.trademark-properties.com
