Question for dealers and sales guys in general

(1/2) > >>

Jacuzzi Jim:
  Any of you guys selling Smart tops from leisure concepts?  We have sold maybe 40 or so in the last 3 years or so.  They started a new program for dealers which is pretty aggressive and frankly demanding for the amount you sell and keep on the floor for display.   Huge up-sale, yet I know they have had their problems with reliability the last few years?

   Let me know!    Send me a PM if you wish.. 

MarKee:
I've had customers inquire about them, but when they hear the $1500-2000 price point, everyone seems to be turned off.  You could get 3-4 new covers for that price.  I don't think we've sold any out of our stores, but we've also never displayed one. 

Jacuzzi Jim:
  That's what I have always thought.  Though there are people that will pay that amount.    Cost alone of them has gone up if you are not a "premier" dealer now.   So I don't think were going to be selling them anymore.  Other thing is it takes an additional 2 hours to install the thing.    Time is money baby!

d00nut:
Hard no from me.  We had a lot of problems on the ones we sold.  I know a lot of people like the idea of a hard cover, but unless the cost comes way down, and the reliability goes way up... I won't be selling them.

Not only that, they haven't paid me a dime in labor, despite many promises.

   Yes on that, we had quite a few problems/defects with them.  And no warranty coverage from them, other then sending parts.  We have sold their product for 20 years. always been great to deal with.     Their new program you have to apply for, and he/they look over your record over the years and decide if you should be able to sell the covers.    Yeah offer it the same to all dealers.   You also have to display one of each per store.  Honestly not going to miss them..
