I would pay $10 to watch a video of people's reactions to being told, "Yeah I know I'm in business to sell, but you have to pay me first."
Brilliant.
Brilliant.
Demos - To Charge a Fee or to Not Charge a Fee?
One common dealer complaint is that customers sometimes use them to audition equipment only to later purchase it elsewhere.
How much of that is true is not known but it must happen. Such is the nature of some folk.
Therefore, how about abandoning the time honoured practice of free demonstrations (also shared by the car industry) and start charging a fee?
Would $10 an hour be sufficient?
Surely, even in quiet part of a quiet day it must cost the dealer considerably more than that to provide the facilities and staff to facilitate a satisfactory demonstration.
I don't know how others may feel, but I'd be more than happy to pay for the service.
