Is Diamond Audio going out of business???

My Diamond rep came down like last week... mentioned nothing about Diamond going out of business while he handed me the employee accom. sheet

Did you ask him though? Also how close are you with him that he would offer the info?

Pretty close with the guy, he's not a Diamond employee though, just a marketing rep. I didn't think to ask him because I wasn't expecting for Diamond to go out of business... I just had the store owner special order a sub for a customer of mine last friday

Eh, if they do they'll probably get bought out like so many other promising brands //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Reps have more reason to push products than employees do. Reps pay is commission. Employees are salary. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
