Welcome to our forum.
i spoke to a thermospa salesman the other day and he scared me to death. I got him out of my house because he wanted me to buy a spa sight unseen. anyone else had any experience with thermospa?
he kept dropping the price until he was offering one of their nicer spas for a lot less than we started with, but the sales technique was just too weird
I have a local one man spa opperation down the street from my store that has joined with Thermospa. This company has 1 store and makes a very basic spa for low cost. Stopped in to say hi and look, he had 5 thermospas in showroom. Hes a friend, and said hes having trouble selling the Thermospas. The spas he makes are 2-3 grand and Thermospas are 10 plus grand. Even looking at them in person, wasnt impressed.
Tell your buddy to move his "mfg relationship" to a more credible company. By more credible I mean nearly ANY company other than Thermospa or Gulf Coast. And to be more specific, he needs to pick a vendor who's spa's he can place on his floor that would sell between the $6K and $8K prices (MAX). If he wants a SUPER expensive tub (i.e. over $10K), he could always try to rep for a major player like Dimension One.
I'm not sure how you can know enough about his market to say he should be $6k to $8k MAX. I'd make it simpler and say to get with a company that is reputable and can help him grow his business. The top manufacturers will have spas that are $10k but they really should have a range of spas ($5k and up) so you don't need to just concentrate on spas $6k to $8k. Artesian, Caldera, Coleman, D1, Hot Springs, Jacuzzi, Marquis, Sundance, ... Those companies sell more than just the high end Epics, Optimas and Grandes. There are many out there and it obviously depends on what is in his market already. It sounds like the has the entry level covered so he needs something for the $5k and up range that he can show as being worth the extra $$ and Thermospa certainly isn't that product IMO.
Thanks ndabunka,I hope he keeps Thermospas in his showroom. Hes my competition! cheers =)
but I would alomst bet you that MANY of the dealer's here on line would agree that they sell FAR more in that price range than they do in the "over $9K and under $6K ranges".
