RockyDaz Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 How many people pester their manufacturer/Distributer for info? I have read on a number of posts and also hear it quite often that we feel neglected or left out of the loop on new happenings in the industry. I make a point of ringing my 3 best suppliers every other week (on their toll free number) whenever I get a slow period. Its amazing the info you get, tips, deals and help that you would otherwise miss out on. Any other POV's ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiveofeen Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 I was wondering this myself. Judging from the calls I get not many suppliers take any effort to do much more than sell a roll of film. You really have to have a passion for this business to go to the lengths that some of us do, to some its just a paycheck and that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyDaz Posted September 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 exactimondo Tim. tinting gets in your blood and we leave a lot of that blood on the workshop floor too. But seriously, we are in a recessionary period, you would think your suppliers would be keeping in touch a bit more looking for a sale or to flip you away from the opposition, I know I'm working a lot harder these days to make the same dollars I used to make. But by keeping in touch I get great deals on part rolls and odds and ends and all the time developing a closer relationship with my suppliers. The extra help you get is well worth the time (and you sometimes inadvertantly find out a bit of goss about your competitor down the road) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tint Eastwood Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 why are you still with them? Good question. Just haven't had all that many good responses from reps of a bunch of different man/dist I have contacted. LOTS of bad first impressions and still amazed how after 2-3 different calls requesting some type of literature on their product they neglect to deliver. Tired of looking right now I suppose. Best overall response I've had was from JWF. Just wish they had 72" goods and I'd give em a shot. Never looked into ASWF may give em a call.
