Guest TintProtroll Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 they only want me to sign an exclusivity contract with them and I need to order so many $$$$ a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blade Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 exclusivity...as in you'll only use 3M products? that would never work for me. not every manufacturer has every film needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blade Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 yeah....I know. my personal opinion is, if you like the film you use.......well, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil with bad attitude Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 So what are you suppose to get in return? How about asking them for a guaranteed amount of leads per month seeing that they want a guarantee in another direction. Devil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest South Coast Tints Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 We have been working with Auto Care Systems (3M distributor) and are very happy. They are working on large nationwide deals and the tint businesses that are part of their 3M Network will benefit as certified 3M installers. We went up to Subaru HQ a few weeks back to demonstrate a 3M install to the directors of Subaru and Diahatsu. So its real that this activity is occuring and results will follow. Simon.

Guest vclimber Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Just ask yourself one thing: What happens if they start having problems with their new film that you just dumped all of your lines to carry exclusively, and bought $--- of inventory as the minimum purchase? If this were to happen, what position would you now be in? This has happened before years ago with another brand of film... Look before you leap.
