Test Staff Members
« on: November 18, 2010, 03:43:09 AM »
Please take a look at my post on the visionary website under rumors.  I have also discussed this on the visionary page on facebook.  I am here in Indidanpolis and I am a test staffer.  But apparently...someone is hooking up non-test staff members on balls at the the same, or better prices than what I can get them for.  Some people are getting spartans and gladiaor pearls for either $75 for both...or $235...which is the same as what we can get them for.  I am a platinum members...I paid over $500 because I ordered an additional ball....and they are letting people do this.  I could have saved my money.  And oh...by the way...if you are waiting on a spartan...these hook ups may be why you having gotten yours yet....just my humble opinion.

Look at it this way.  Visionary is doing something for their bowlers that NOBODY else does.  With other companies, you are either full time staff members or you are not.  Visionary does not make you bowl x number of leagues and tournaments every year to be on this membership.  Who cares that they offered a grand total of 2 people a ball for $75.00.  You my friend have probably $1200.00 worth of stuff at full retail price for $570 and you are complaining.  How Jason and the GOOD people at VBP conduct their business is up to them.  I have used VBP since 2000 and will continue to do so.  You make it sound as though they handed over something for free.  If we were contracted staffers like most professionals are, then I can understand your concern.  But, we are not.  Visionary is doing us a favor by giving us an opportunity to get a taste of what the pros get 12 months of a great product at a discounted price.

Scott33....the price is the same.  Tax and all included.

To the others...you do not have to keep telling me how much this cost, how much that costs...I know. I know how much the product that I have costs...thank you. I understand that there are some very loyal Visionary people out here, so I can understand where you all are coming from.  But I am not getting this not complaining stuff.  No one here has paid for my equipment.  That was my money. I have every right to say what I want...Period. When it comes to you and your money....you can do whatever it is that you want to do. If you want to go to the store and buy the exact same thing as the person behind you, yet you get charged more for it....then by all means....enjoy yourself. Just because you fell like you have a great deal does not mean that you are not entitled to complain about something.  If that is the case...then the middle and lower class people should never complain about taxes....because they do not have to pay as much as the upper class.  If that is the case, then people shouldn't complain about gas prices here...because somebody else is paying more for their gas over there. Let me ask you this....if your child was going to school and having to pay more their lunch than the other children....would you simply say that that is okay dear....you are really getting a discount on that anyway...or would you try to find out why your child is being chrged more for the same thing. I don't have money like that to overlook and give away....and if I feel like I have been disrepected about anything, I am going to speak up about it, regardless of what anybody may think. With that being said...like I stated before...the situation is over, taken care of, solved, extinguished, terminated.

All of the Visionary people are very professional and classy! I've talked to Betsy and Jason many times on the phone! The only time I couldn't get Jason was when he's a show or nationals! They produce great products and offer an awesome promotion through the "Test Staff Program"! I could care less that they offered a special deal to possible staff members, that's another way to promote! I have a shop and I understand business and getting your name known around the country!!! Just my $.02, Bruce

Husky, as another member once advised me when i had an issue.  Close your thread man!  Folks here can be brutal.  They just have to throw their 2 cents in regardless of the situation.  I am glad that you and Jason have worked it all out and agree with you 100%.  You do have your rights and the issue was resolved by you and Jason, as it should be.  Good luck to you and take it as a lesson learned.

huskyherm,

See my question above?  I'd like to know what the shop name is and ball prices.  I have a friend in Indy that would like to try Visionary and isn't a test staff member.  If he can get them for shop cost and drill elsewhere I'd like to pass along this info.  Can you help?
