Sale?
What sale?
i mean FOR sale
-

why do you think it's for sale, and what are you asking them,
nm
Hmm, WM has a lap top on sale right now
for only 400 bux. I just wonder if you can use a different keyboard and how cumbersome (or not) it would be to do that. I don't think I'd be able to type fast on a lap top keyboard
Rumor is they are up for sale

but I have not heard anything more about that.


If MQ were for sale it wouldn't ....sm
necessarily be a negative thing for the MQ employees regardless of who a new owner might be (same goes true for any company being sold regardless of the industry).
MTSO's for sale
Does anyone know of any MTSO's for sale?
companies for sale
What in the world are you talking about.  I am not from MQ.  I opporate a small company out of Michigan. 
Keystrokes is for sale? sm

I was just heard from my boss that Keystrokes is for sale for $30 million.  He was looking at them but thinks that Spheris will be the ones who will actually buy them. 


I know that they are in the U.S.A. only.  What will happen once Spheris buys them?  Why Spheris and not MQ?

Heartland - Status of Sale

Heartland is such a horrible company, it has been announced that SPI has backed out of purchasing them for good!


Almost all in-house employees are gone, majority of my MT friends left! I don't think they will survive with all these employees gone.


I'll be sure to pass that along to the sale guy.
Ever feel like no one in the transcription industry really knows to things work other than the MTs?
Just remember.....everything/anything is for sale for the right price sm
No matter what, everything and anything has a price tag. Good luck to all KS MTs.
I mean the owner on the sale. The only winner here. nm
,
VR is example of great sale pitch, not way of
one angle the sales person is using.
Does anyone know of any large billing agencies that are for sale?
If you are aware of a large ($1million + annual revenue) medical billing/transcription agency/company that is for sale.  Please reply here or email me.
I am sure she was legally bound not to say anything about the sale until it was complete. That is s
business by the person who owns the business and the person who is purchasing it. She built her business, paid people for the work they did (does not owe anyone more than that), sold it and moved on. Why is it so hard for anyone to understand and why make it personal?
Haven't heard a thing about a sale.
Not a thing.
Hired company, but sale did not take place, right ? n/m
n
and I have prime land in the everglades for sale.
x
is eMTS out of Coral Springs for sale?

I am thankful that lightbulbs were on sale last week. nm
nm
I received an email from someone about Keystrokes being for sale - it is lie. sm

Yes, the owners met with the CEO of Transcend and went to dinner but it was 2 years and it was NETWORKING.  They had no intentions of selling to them and when they informed them of that, Transcend stopped coming around.  I work in the office.  Get your facts straight.


Watch out, this company is probably up for sale to Transcend.
Usual warning signs - lots of mls, low work.
I have a bridge to sale you? I guess its karma...
x
What do you mean? Who is PSI? Did OSI sell or something? nm
x
And I will sell it to ya, too. lol
p
"Was" is the keyword here! Up until the sale, they've been GREAT! nm
.
? about Keystrokes..Did Lee really sell? nm
xxxxxx
Didn't YOG sell out to MQ?

x


yes. you should be very scared if they did sell.
SPI is a bunch of crooks.
However, if you are willing to sell yourself cheap,
x
So you;re willing to sell America out
because there's always work---(for now)?
I don't sell America out
I work only for companies that do not offshore, period.
Fatcat - I know exactly what you mean. She does have the right to sell

her company, and if she had been honest and up front and just TOLD us, hey, I need to go in a different direction, I want less stress/work, whatever, so I'm looking to sell the company, I'd have been fine with that.  If she'd been honest and said I'm in negotiations and some of your work is being funneled into the new company so they can test the accounts or whatever, I'd have been most unhappy, but at least informed and looking for a new job.  It's the fact that they've boasted for years we're the cream of the crop and then gave us the mushroom treatment, and treated us all like we're stupid sheep that will just trot along with Transcend and take whatever they decide to offer us.  I can't believe for one minute that they had any of the MTs in mind if they didn't even bother to ask what the pay scale would be, the scheduling requirements, or even the LINE DEFINITION.  Carlotta flat out said in my call yesterdya that she hadn't even THOUGHT TO ASK what kind of a line they pay on.  For all they know we'll be getting huge pay cuts along with say losing all our spaces or whatever.  The fact that she said they never thought to ask and they knew absolutely zero answers to EVERYTHING that directly affects the MTs told me that they either knew and were NOT about to tell us and make us madder, or they never bothered to ask because they absoultely had no interest in it.  If they'd been honest and told us what was going on, I could handle this much better.  It's the sneaky underhanded way they did it, after years of touting their open communication, etc., that really bothers me.  And the offshoring is just the icing on the cake of the giant slap in the face.  Talk about stepping on the backs of the people who put her at the top.

Just because companies don't know how to sell a contract,
they shouldn't pass their shortcomings on to us. This is part and parcel of what is killing our profession. Companies keep low-balling contracts and we all will lose. Very sad.
No, Keystrokes did not sell to Transcend.
Not sure how all these rumors get out. Ridiculous
eBay intrigues me, but I have nothing to sell! (nm)
.
SELL on Ebay and start over
By the way, even if KS is responsible for giving you bad information about Vista, you still would have had to get a computer to do this work. So that investment is a given.

Save yourself more headaches: Sell your computer on ebay (keep the peripherals) and buy a new computer with XP. You are likely to lose $ but you will probably lose more trying to replace Vista with XP UNLESS you call in a professional to do it for you who guarantees their work.


If you believe the answers below, I have a bridge to sell you.
VR produces a big mess & it takes a lot of time to correct it all. I'd hate to see an audit on those flying through it at full speed, and I'd hate to be the patient depending on a quality report.
They may initially find a way to sell us down.....sm
the river BUT the real issue is that MTSOs jump on any and every chance they can to cheat the MT. It IS, after all, all about $$$ and whose pocket they are in!
Keystrokes is not for sale at this time, and there are no plans for selling in the foreseeable futu
This is a rumor started by someone for absolutely no reason. There are a few companies out there who have approached Keystrokes about selling and have been turned down. A few have been very agressive and do not like to hear the word no.

The company has been growing steadily for the past 10 years and has agressive growth plans in place for the next 5 years.

If you have any questions, contact one of the owners or member of the management team directly. They will answer your questions.

This is just another example of someone trying to stir the pot.

Not every company is for sale, at any price. Although that may change in the future for the owners of Keystrokes, right now they enjoy growing the company and improving on what they have built. It will be several years before the idea of selling would be entertained.
Agree. Got any swamp land to sell her? nm
x
Yup, change to create a need to sell more books.
That's what I said the first time I heard examples of the new edition's changes. With the logic this one uses, I expect the next edition will decide that a lot should now be one word, and no one should be spelled as one word as well, because it is now so common for people to spell them that way. Oy.


I was just thinking of that -- Carole swore she'd never sell, right up until the day she sm

announced it was sold.  I do not blame her for selling, and I guess there were legal issues that made it necessary for her to lie, but it does leave you with a mistrust for what people say.  At least we still had jobs, although I quit the minute I heard The Squid had bought the company.


I wish the QTers the best of luck.  There are still lots of great companies out there. 


Not much left to sell since they lost big account.nm

I don't sell myself short but don't have 5 "current" years

Spoken like a true corporate sell-out.

Get a loan on the item rather than sell it if it is sentimental.
Gold is at about 900 an ounce. Get a loan on a ring and it will give you 4 months before buying it back, at 800% interest but hey, ya gotta be resourceful and when it comes down this far, time is of the essence.
