It is worth noting this is not a MLM organization so I didn't benefit in any way from that.  

But maybe their connections get too many JOBs, they don't cares about their clients.4.FlipSystem is basically MLM company, they use Fake exaggerated advertisement to lure new customers in, asking new customer to sign disclosure with them so they don't have any liabilities to their advertisement, then what they providing is their connections from Agent to Contractor and they charge you more on these things!

We also got 4 bandit sign distributors so we can ramp up our bandit sign campaign while the weather is good.The NOT So GoodTwo closings have been delayed to next week - Oak Lawn from Aug 29 to Sept 4 and Old Gages Grayslake from Aug 28 to Sept 5.

The distributor charged him $100 to process the warranty.    

There are plenty of distributors that now sell that way they still make money .

This is MLM to me.

This is also what I have heard countless times many years ago in one MLM (Multi-Level Marketing aka Amway, etc.) pitch after another. 

ya your on the right track suspect like a MLM pyramid very few get there. 

Talk to the distributors for material also and ask what a standard price for labor is for things to get a feel for the standard range.

Any MLM is that way.
