This lady runs a cake pop business and gets both online and in-person orders. Not long ago someone claiming to represent a nonprofit asked her to donate 200 cake pops for an event 60 days away.
She asked for proof to verify that it was legit - a flyer, tax info, anything. She followed up 30 days out, then again right before the event. No response, even though her messages were read.
She had a paying order for the same day, so she told them one last time: no proof means she’s taking the paid gig.
A few days before the event the rep finally messaged asking when they could pick up the free cake pops. She said no, because they never provided what she asked for. The rep got angry and started trashing her business online. Who was right here? Is it the lady who has the business and is protecting her time and money, or the nonprofit that wouldn’t give basic proof? 🤔
Be clear about the master plan:
Re-record albums to reduce value of originals✅
Use the focus on each release to create distinct eras✅
Build a record breaking world tour around those eras✅
Gross billions of dollars✅
Use that 💰to buy back your art at a relative discount✅
