And I'm not even open on Sundays!

[Chas]

We are not usually open on Sundays. Our other store in Newbury Park was always open on Sunday, but not our Ventura store.

However, I am always be glad to make an appointment for a Sunday afternoon if somebody would like to take a wet test.

I did so today.

And sold TWO spas!

Yahoo! I don't mind givin' up a nap for that! No sir.

The couples got along well, had fun, and actually helped each other decide. It was cool. The couple who was there for the wet test came right on time, and promptly suited up and climbed into the Envoy. They were interested in the Jetsetter and Prodigy. I didn't have a wet Jetsetter, but the recliner in the Envoy is similar, and they can try the Moto Massage out that way. I had also filled the Prodigy for them. I did that Friday when we made the appointment.

They liked the Moto, but decided they could live without it, and purchased my last '06 Prodigy, a cover "Lift N Glide" and an extra rubber duck. Sand interior, Redwood exterior, Rust cover, not step.

The other couple had wet-tested last week and were actually on their way to buy a Jacuzzi. But the guy was talking negative about HotSpring, and said that the MotoMassage had bearings which would rust. (It has no bearings, and even the spin jets which DO have bearings are SS and will not rust). Also, the model they liked was smaller than the Vista and cost the same.

So they patiently waited as I wrote up the first couple, thanked them and sent them off with big smiles, pats on the back, a couple of bottles of HotSpring water to drink, and their wet towels in a beach bag. Then we sat down and they wrote up a new Vista. They chose Sterling Marble, Espresso siding and cover, a step, Uprite Cover Lift, and an extra rubber duck. They elected to use the 90 Day Same-as-cash program. They must have great credit - it took about four minutes for the approval to come back from American General.

Now, I think I'm too keyed up to go back and take a nap!

I'll see if I can find a way to calm down...

Maybe I'll go soak in my Grandee. Trouble is - it's 92 degrees out there today, so I may have to wait till this evening.

[GoBlue]

waylon33....I see you are a "newbie".

Look relax....there are lots of Hot Spring dealers/owners that
frequent this message board. And they love their brand and
that means alot of HS cheerleading. And HS appears to be
one of the best tubs backed up with good customer service.

One HS guy even dedicated a thread saying "how great the new HS 2007
Brochure was". I can imagine if I had dedicated a thread titled "CalSpa's
great new 2007 brochure".....LOL
 
With that said....the HS dealers are helpful to everyone.....HS owner
or not ......they will offer you alot of sound technical advise and problem
solving with your tub. This site would not be nearly as informative without
the HS guys/gals.

Congrats Chas. That should help you towards your new Grandee. Are you going with Sterling Marble/Expresso this time?  

[Chas]

I don't know- that Aria is lookin' pretty nice.

But I like the Pearl and Espresso I think.

not new, just new to posting.  Keep pitching hot springs!

And this is how you choose to come out of your shell?  Hardly a productive member.

Maybe you should just go ahead and rename this forum to
whats the best hot spring .com

That pretty much what this board consists of most of the time

I'm sorry, that is just a lame worthless comment.

Is it... I wonder? My weekend consisted of a 2006 J345, 2007 J335 and a 2006 J480. All customers were first time in the store. All were told to by me to compare my Jacuzzi® hot tubs to Sundance and Hot Sprigs for quality to quality comparrison, all left the store with signed contracts. Yeah, that's what I said, compare quality with Hot Spring, you  may find that hard to believe coming from me, you just will never find me cheerleading for any other brand on the internet.

I'm sorry, that is just a lame worthless comment.

I am always surprised (ok, annoyed) that many pool and spa places are closed on Sunday.  

What's the busiest day for you dealers? How late do you stay open?

I have still yet to see my new hot tub, as the dealer is only open 9-5 Monday -Friday.  

I'm sorry, that is just a lame worthless comment.

I agree.

Maybe this should read if You think you got it
I would think that the  (#1 hot tub seller in the world) would win more business with a little more humility. Remember a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down as the song goes.
