Mark, I believe you are correct that many of us do not want more competition, but we're not "scared to death" of competition. Most of us who have been shopping a while have more offers than we can take, and I'm sure you also have an abundance of work.
While I'm willing to share about how to do things, and I'm willing to recommend the national companies, I'm not willing to share my MSC list and/or my client list. I developed that and it's mine.
Some of the MSCs will be more strict about what can be said about the shopper/MSC relationship than others. I believe they are mainly trying to protect their client list and their guidelines. I am also trying to protect my MSC/client list. If you don't want to protect yours, then that is simply a different approach from my approach.
There is no reason to hesitate in sharing your complete MSC list here, as long as you don't link their clients and as long as you don't reveal the details of their guidelines. Feel free, go right ahead, and thank you.

I think its because so many shoppers are scared to death of any compitition. They blow smoke about how it's "to protect the integrity" or because the MSC "forbids it" B.S.!!! Every MSC I work with begs for referals of family members or friends that may be intrested in working with them. And I've refered several. I'm not worried about them "stealing" my work. I let the quality of my work seperate me form the pack.
