Spa Sales Pro Contest

[East_TX_Spa]

Just had a guy come into my store asking about swim spas.  He had been at the State Fair of Texas and stopped by the Master Spa booth.  I was at the same booth last week looking around.  They had a large Sunbelt swim spa up and running.  This is what the man was told by the MS rep:

"We are with the factory, so all prices are wholesale.  This swim spa is $24,000 but we are offering them for $17,000 at the fair.  Not only that, but if you buy, you will get a $10,000 rebate in 3 years.  MS doesn't do any advertising so we pass these savings along to you."

Now, all you sharp spa selling pros, how many holes can you find in the above statement.  I count at least 5.

"We are with the factory, so all prices are wholesale.  

(1) Logic Gap. Even if i belive they're "with the factory", that does not necessarily equate to wholesale prices. Sounds good though.   

This swim spa is $24,000 but we are offering them for $17,000 at the fair.  

(2) Hmmm, 30% off?? Let's see an invoice for a $24k sale, just one!

Not only that, but if you buy, you will get a $10,000 rebate in 3 years.

(3) The only thing you'll get in 3 years is red in the face for ever being naive enough to believe the fairy tale that someone was going to give you a $10k rebate. 

MS doesn't do any advertising so we pass these savings along to you.

(4)I don't know how much mainstream advertising they do but I count those ongoing, deceptive "Multi-Manufacturer" Spa Shows they promote and put on across the country.
(5) Therefore, I don't see any extra savings to pass on let alone believing that they'd apss them over to me!

I doubt he lives in the factory
I doubt he sells the spas at wholesale
The price is probably lower at a store
The rebate is a scam
Master does tons of advertising
They don’t pass the savings to you

I win.

[Spatech_tuo]

I doubt he lives in the factory

We can only assume that it may be true that he is a factory representative but nowhere did you say he stated that he "lives in" the factory. Chris is "Leading" the witness. I call for that statement to be stricken from the contest and he be removed from the courtroom!!!

Chris H and Spatech, I guess ya'll are the only ones playing so I'm going to declare a tie.  Since I only have 1 picture, you'll have to split it.  Who wants the top and who wants the bottom?

Send my half to Drewstar. He seems to be here #1 fan.

DAMN! I was busy and didn't get here in time........

"We are with the factory"

indicates he is NOT an outside salesman hired by the factory only to do fairs... This would in fact be the 1st of 6 holes, making ME, the winner

Spatech you get an A from  the girls. That was the perfect answer.

Why would I play the game? What would I do with Tammy's picture, put it on my fridge.

Now... ya see..., I looked at this from a different approach.  I found the flaw in the idea that someone from Texas could count to 5.

Guys from Texas may not be the best counters but they can get to 5 no problem. In fact, they can get all the way to 20 if they take off their shoes (assuming they're wearing some) and even 21 if they're nekked.

[Dr. Spa™ Ret.]

 and even 21 if they're nekked.

22 if it's Tammy
