Welcome to our forum.
Uh, while that may be true of the brand that you represent Terminator, it's not universally true. One of the brands that we represent allows us to host 2 off-site events per year where they offer us discounts on the wholesale cost of the spas. We are then able to pass these savings on to consumers. So, in fact, they do get significantly better pricing at our off-site events for this brand (for what it's worth).
...this sale is supported by the store and that store will service the spa. The spa is being sold through their store, off site with Factory reps! ... He said all is on the up and up and furthermore understood why we bought from this sale since he couldn't touch the price we got! He said that the local sales people were being compensated for sales made at the off site. They also pulled inventory from their stores for immediate deliveries...
Soakin is exactly right!
