Are you saying you're representing a tub you've never wet tested? What happens when someone directly asks you how they feel?

salesdvl · « **Reply #23 on:** March 21, 2006, 11:58:02 pm »

No one has ever directly asked me.

so......salesdvl, how DO LA spas feel?

There, now someone HAS directly asked you.

haha

Ya know, even when I was back in the retail store, I didnt use "my favorite" much. �I heard in a sales seminar a long time ago to use third party as much as possible and not use yourself. �So I just got into the habit of saying things like: "This seat is very popular" or "I sold this spa to a customer that sits all day at work and they love this jet for their lower back." ( Actually I was telling that story one day and the guy I was referring to walked in and confirmed my story. It was perfect.)

Now, since I'm being called on the carpet. �The tricky one is when people ask which model I have. �My response is: �" I just have a very old beater spa, but when I order my new one, it will be..."

I am a spa professional or at least thats where I earn my pay cheque

I've wet tested:
Beachcomber 550x & 750
Coleman 471 & 470
Dimension 1 �Aurora II & Lotus Bay
Free Flow Passport
Hydropool 625 Anniversary & 675 LE
Softub 300
and some in ground concrete thing at the Barcello Maya resort in Mexico.

Haven't tested the new addition to the Hydropool family (675LE) yet.... What's your thoughts on it? Does it differ much from the 625 Anniversary?

My list would be:

Beachcomber 530, 550X, 578, 720, 720X 740 & 750
Hydropool 625 Ann., 575 gold, 17' Aquatrainer swim spa
Jacuzzi 385
Sundance
Arctic Tundra (I was drunk!

) We danced on the cover till the wee hours!

Some old Coleman
and a few others I don't recall as well as various commercial units.
