Good evening and I hope you are doing well this evening!
I write this post based on a personal experience I had the other day.
As most of my readers know my John Deere L108 recently blew up after only 5 years of use, and yes it did have plenty of oil in it!
So I checked with my local John Deere dealer and was quickly able to agree on a price, just waiting for one to come in. However, here is where it gets interesting.
In order to keep the local dealer honest, I take the kids across town to Bud Herbert Motors in Harrison, Ohio to test drive the tractor and find out if they would be willing to give me a little better price.
I arrive at the dealer and the salesman who helped me was Tom Herbert (probably related to the owner?) The gentleman was somewhat friendly, allowed me to take a test drive and generally answered my questions well. He than gave me the price of $2999.00.
At this point I told him the local dealer gave me a price of $2900.00 , and asked him if would be willing to do $2850. I thought I made it pretty clear that I could write him a check right there. He immediately says no and nothing else. I waited for him to say “we will match the price by your local dealer” or for him to ask me more questions regarding value, price, etc… It was clear he was not being business friendly. I politely asked for a brochure and card and walked out the door.
The question is, are you business friendly?
enjoy your night,
