Default RE: Hoyt pulls Dealership without warning! (long)

ORIGINAL: GMMAT

If the name Bowtech was substituted for Hoyt, would you still be defending this guy?
I'm guessing Pat would have a little talk with the BT rep....or the BT rep's boss, though.

If you get to the level of mgmt within a company the OP did, Trevor.....and they defend the rep's actions (silence = assumed consent)......how does the Co. not have culpability? That's a fair question.

Good question. If the rep was completely in the wrong, it does reflect poorly for Hoyt. But I just can't see how everyone is overlooking the fact his old staff shooter is the culprit here. He obviously told Hoyt things he shouldnt have, and possibly made some stuff up too. I agree with Swamp Collie on how it went down, I just think the old shooter did some conniving and talked the rep into throwing him a dealership. Then his would expectedly be yanked, being to close. My question is how are dealerships informed normally? Does Hoyt always mail letters and call from the top, or is it up to the local rep to cut the dealership loose? Again, I feel the main culprit is the old staff shooter. While the rep didn't handle things perfectly either, this guy needs to look at it from the other side. He isn't selling enough bows, compared to what the other shop could. As a Hoyt rep making a living off of #s sold, would you stick with your current dealer when a new shop agrees to buy and sell more Hoyts, pushing them as the main line of the shop?

IDK, I'm just trying to see both sides. Yea he got screwed, but IMO by his old buddy...Not Hoyt Corporate. But I know nothing about the politics of the archery industry, so this is all based off a first time posters account of how he was screwed by the big man. I would love to hear the reps story to help see if there is another side. Maybe there isnt.
