I just tuned into the internet stream. The guy is making a good point about Black people just going for the cheaper product.

I listened to most of it and they are just reiterating what I've seen discussed on LHCF a few times... Black businesses need to provide better customer service and network with each other. If you know it's about cheaper product to most of us... they should be trying to pool their money to get a lower price.

And for what the guy was saying about the salon... I was never pitched a product at my old salon and they lost an opportunity because I know I would have brought something at the time. I never saw any products being sold the entire three years I frequented that salon.

Here are the two links they kept mentioning on the show...

I was listening too.

I was listening when the lady called in from Missouri. She made some very good points about everyone just being "loyal to the dollar." We all know that, yes, the Koreans do have a lot of the industry on lock, especially the manufacturing sector...but we can do so much more in regard to better customer service, etc.

Yes, I thought that was an interesting point.

I've been to several salons where they sell hair products. However, only one stylist at a salon made an attempt to recommend a product. I actually bought it and would prefer to buy my products from a salon. Indeed, this would be a good business for AA salons.

The guest speaker also stated that many hair stylist look at themselves as an artist instead of an entrepreneur.
