HotSpring is by far the largest maker of Portable spas. They do not classify themselves as makers of "Acrylic Spas" so the claim can stand. If a guy wanted to offer Stainless Steel tubs, and he was the only one, he could say he was the "largest maker of stainless steel hot tubs in the world."

But his whole annual sales might not cover the cost of fax paper at Watkins.

Along similar lines, Jacuzzi is a larger company than Watkins mfg corp. But the part of Jacuzzi which makes portable spas is not very large in comparison to Watkins.

Just a note: they are most likely counting Jacuzzi dealers in with Sundance dealers. That's fine. Adding Caldera, Tiger River, HotSpring et al in one lump would give you closer to 900 dealers in about 50 countries worldwide.

Sounds great and I have thought about growing up to become a rep.

However, I have NO desire to move to Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, or Mississippi.

As far as Texas, there is already a gun lovin', right wing, bald hot tub guy there. I 'm not sure if there is room for another ;D

I wonder if the new rep could tempt Term and company to jump ship if they showed up with a complimentary Shiner Bock beer truck and a few million rounds of ammo.

On the Hot springs home page it says....

All our spa shells are constructed from an acrylic surface layer co-laminated to an impact resistant ABS substrate, fused together in a controlled, automated process that ensures a more durable, even surface. "

Sounds like acrylic to me.

Hot Spring Spas are different than acrylic, therefore they don't label themselves as 'acrylic.'  The key is the ABS.

Ok, I'm just opening myself up to get blasted by Mr Moderator, but..............................................................

What is wrong with Oklahoma, Arkansas,  Louisiana, or Mississippi?????????????????????????????????????

I live in one of the above mentioned states (can you guess which one), and it may be hot (as of right now, wait a minute, it will change), windy, and dry, but I love living here.  Even though I am a Longhorn fan!!!

Weren't you complaining about living in Michigan????  We may have lost our GM plant, but we have gained MG!!!

Be careful what you say, you may offend someone!  Namely ME!!!  

;)  ;D

Ok, I'm just teasing!  Sort of!!!

I don't live in Arkansas.  But I've been there and think it's one of the most beautiful states in the country.  Parts of Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Mississippi are great as well.  
And Texas - I wouldn't choose to live anywhere else!

Does it mention that you have to be named "Larry" anywhere in the ad?

the last few Sundance reps in the area advertised for have been named Larry...probably just coincidence.

I have nothing against Mississippi.  The last vacation I had with my parents was in Biloxi (several years ago, of course).  We had a great time as we stayed across the street from gulf.  We gambled, ate crawdads (yep, sucked the heads), drank beer, and enjoyed life.

Last year my son had the opportunity to go back to Biloxi to help with the clean up.  The best picture he brought home was one of a 'floating' casino sitting along side the road, I think it was along side the road but on the opposite side from the gulf.  He also came home with a deep hate of FEMA.

Didn't say there was anything wrong with any of them! Just don't have a desire to live there.(Maybe due to a lack of experience with said states)

Never complained about living in Michigan. It's the greatest place in the country! I complain about the economy here(which I blame on all of you for not buying more cars ;))

I would never want to offend you. Sorry if I somehow ??? did.

No offense Hymbaw!  My Mother was lucky enough to retire early from GM (kept a roof over my head & meals on the table when I was in High School), so she has not been as badly affected by the closing of the GM plant here.  So I feel your pain & wish more people would by GM products.

I just had to defend, as you can tell by the above comment by said Administrator (I'm getting to him in a minute), I'm very proud of living in Oklahoma!  I think there are a lot less desirable places to live, but that is only my opinion, and I could be wrong!

I really was teasing!!!  And I haven't given Bill much of a chance to pick on me lately, and I KNOW he has missed that!!!!   ;)

It would be based on a percentage of total sales of the territory with that number varying between an existing dealer base and increased for newly acquired dealers.

Six figures is very attainable keeping in mind that travel expenses would come out of that which can be substancial based on the size of the territory. A decent living for someone who enjoys travel and meets the requirements.

Wow, they make you pay for travel expenses while you're on the clock?

I can't speak for every development partner but I'm set up as my own business. Others are an employee set up as salary plus commission and all expenses are covered. I just wanted the added benefit of write-offs!  ;)

There's not a big stretch between a very successful salesperson and a company rep I don't think...

It's the owners of these dealerships that make ALL THE MONEY! :o ;D
