Gulp!
eShowings CEO, Charles Smith, goes to prison.
This guy should make the “most stupid criminals list”. Not paying payroll taxes? Really? That’s was you plan?
EShowings founder headed to prison after pocketing company funds
Andrea V. Brambila of Inman News
“Charles Smith, 54, of Bear, Del., founded his 180-employee firm, eShowings Inc., in 1999. In April, Smith pleaded guilty to 10 counts of “failure to truthfully account for and pay over payroll taxes” during a nearly three-year period between 2007 and 2009. On Oct. 4, a U.S. District Court judge sentenced Smith to 30 months in prison.”
The real travesty is the 180 people who put their trust in this guy.
And then there’s this.
“BHHS Fox & Roach has already chosen another appointment center from showing management tech company ShowingTime for its 62 offices and 4,000 agents.”
A wins a win.
The Vendor Alley 2013 Gift Guide
Here’s a list of gifts for the vendor in your life.
1. Mophie Juice Pack
I have to admit my iPhone 5s gets incredible battery life at home. But when I’m on the road I find that having a little extra juice helps. The Mophie Juice Pack Plus is just the ticket. The perfect mix of style and functionality.
2. iPad Air
I love my iPad Mini. It’s most likely the best computer I’ve ever owned. When Apple announced a new retina version of the iPad mini and the new iPad Air (both with a super fast A7 chip) a lot of people were flummoxed on which to buy. My choice is the iPad Air. It’s got a smaller form factor and since my eyesight is getting worse I’m opting for a bigger screen. And do yourself a favor and get the built in Cellular option. It also come in handy for a perfect hot spot for your regular notebook.
3. Pencil by FiftyThree
Tapping with my finger when using apps is fine, but when I want to sketch something I need a pencil. FiftyThree makes a great app for sketching called Paper. Now they have introduced Pencil, a perfect stylus that is made to use with Paper. Can’t wait till mine arrives next week.
4. Coin.
Coin, available for pre-order, is the perfect solution for the multi-credit card vendor. Now picking up the tab at Morton’s is even easier!
5. Tanqueray
What vendor wouldn’t love a bottle of Tanqueray? A perfect way to end the day of answering RFPs and making phone calls. Tonight we Tanqueray!
