BEWARE OF THE SCAMS....SHOULD BE NOTED THIS IS HOW I SEE THINGS SO FAR WITH EV HOTELS! JUST MY OPINION. and thought this was a pretty good snapshot of how this has gone.
SELL THE DREAM:At some point, you’re going to have to start selling HOTLES. You don’t want to sell any actual hotels, though — this is a scam, remember? Besides, actual hotels are expensive to build, and they’re hard to build, too. You don’t want to do stuff that’s expensive and hard, do you? Of course not! What you want to do is sell pre-orders.
Pre-orders are great, because they allow you to collect real money in exchange for fake promises. With that in mind, you’ll want to reach out to those same desperate, simple people who bought or are buying it for you and ask them to pre-order one of your scam hotels. Why would they do that after already givin? Well, no one’s going to invest in a hotel company if no one wants to stay at or much less buy its hotel, will they? You need to create some buzz, and if they want their jobs back, they’re going to have to help you build that buzz.
GO ON THE ROAD/BE SEEN: This part’s going to be tough, but you can do it. You need to build one or two of these things you’re trying to sell, and you’re going to have to show off your new hotel to the press. Don’t worry, though — because I am going to teach you the magic words to get a positive review out of just about anyone in the modern media. Are you ready? Here it is: This is just a proof-of-concept and we’re still a few years away from a final production version. Once we have our team in place and our processes and contracts are up and running, we’d love to fly you out to see and even stay at the first one we cut the ribbon at.
Did you write that down? Good! Now say that to everyone who points out that your hotel sucks and will never work. Embrace the suckage. Be one with the sucking. Revel in it, because it’s just a concept. You’re still a few years away from a final version, and that one won’t suck, right? Right? (wink-wink)
sounds a lot like EV HOTELS road to success right now.
IMHO...i don't even think there that close to closing this merger, bids climbing ask is falling, share price is falling. I think it is funny that Ken puts all his talk on FB, where he has built in "friends" to stick up for him and he doesn't have to get beat up on here or twitter.
