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?
If I'm a salesman getting paid on the number of bows I sell......I don't give a flip WHObuys them from me. More the merrier. The territorial based franchisees .....I would see as a hinderance to my livelihood. I'd want EVERY shop to have them!
This my friends is why I sold our archery business. I got so weary of the attitudes reflected in the qouted post. This was the prevailing attitude among most of our reps. We sold Hoyt, PSE and Mathews and saw this across the board. I'm just glad that I'm now on this side of the counter. Archerys fun again.

Guy in town sold Mathews and was promised a certain area until a shop larger got the nod.
He didn't buy enough.
