I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I'll admit it, I'm just being lazy, or just too tired to search for it.
I met someone the other day and they were complaining about not being able to find a job. So, I broached the subject of PC. She was friendly enough and we chatted. When I explained what PC is she said, "Oh, I used to sell PL and the products were great, but I couldn't get shows. People would say they would do it at the show and then I couldn't catch up with them." (OMG! I can totally relate, BTW).
My response was: "I am a huge fan of PL, but I know that not everyone likes candles. The great thing about PC is that everyone eats, so our market is a lot wider than PL."
It got me to wondering... What do you say when someone tells you that? I would never intentionally bash another DS company, but is there another, perhaps better response I could have used?
