We have a lot of choices to make in our lives
And more when it come to boats and boat purchases it has turned into a SHELL game
I don't like shell games I am not good at it but I want to thank my customers for being good at it !
"FINDING THE HIDDEN CHARGES WHEN COME TO BOAT PURCHASES"
My dad used to tell me "be painfully honest except when being honest will hurt some one for no good reason" "Always Do work you are proud of never settle for good enough and never lie for any one"
This has had to compensate my lack of skill at the shell game
I have often wondered why more people dont buy boats from Us could not figure this out.
So i decided to ask some of our customers that have bought boats from us and WOW never thought of the what i would get
I have recently discovered why a lot of smart people buy boats from Calumet Marine. I did not figure this out for myself I had a customer explain it to me this way at a boat show over the week end like this .
He said to me "some people understand how the shell game works"
I said " what? i hate the shell game i am not good at it"
he says "yes but i understand it and i used to be a big chevy dealer "
He says
You guys do more out of a little 4000 sq foot building than the next boat dealer does out of a place ten times as big with a whole lot less people
you put a total price up front and stick to it and you dont run and hide when a guys comes back to fix some thing
Your service area is over half the size of your total operation
and he mentioned a certain Michigan big box sports store that had 200 boats in stock and a service area you could get no more than 4 boats into
You have a terrible clutter problem that the bigger store would fix but then the over head would kill your price
He says to me even if you move out of the high rent district to avoid those high taxes
PLEASE dot change the way you do business
We don't plan on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't mind paying my fair share of taxes
some one has got to pay their fair share of the money it takes to have
good schools police and fire departments
Illinois is just spending too much money keeping roofs over our governors heads !!
ALL JOKING ASIDE
THANK YOU TO MY LOYAL CUSTOMERS FOR HELPING ME FIGURE THIS ONE OUT !!!
Big and small I try to learn from them all !!
Thanks every one for the help you just never know when who what or where you will lean your next lesson from
thanks to every one at this site and others that stopped by the Hammond show to say Hi
