Oh Canada!

I've been laying low for a while, mostly because I've become SO disenchanted with the world of television retailing.  Too many people in positions of influence who have NO IDEA what they are doing.  But gosh, can't the same thing be said about Wall Street or even the government?

Moving on...

Canada.  The Great White North.  A great place to visit and an even better place to sell products.  If you've never seen The Shopping Channel out of Ontario, you really must tune in and check it out (live feed at www.theshoppingchannel.com).  They have a great format and a laid back style that is as much a pleasure to watch as it is to sell in.  I love it.  Having just returned from a recent appearance selling electronics, I've got to tell you that it's almost easier than selling here in the USA, even with the flights, hotels, rent a cars AND customs.  The stress level is lower and the people who work there are actually happy to be there.  Plus, their hosts are truly knowledgeable and they give you the TIME and FREEDOM to actually sell your product.

I can't wait to go back.
