Husqvarna372xp or Stihlms460

[THALL10326]

Tommie,

Yeah, $700 for the Matt 460 sounds right. I never doubted your uncanny ability to recognize a sales situation.

You are the Sultan of Sales,

ole joat

That has a nice ring to it, I like it.

Had a man come in last week wanting a new MS660. I get called to the rack and there he stands. I go which one ya after. He points at the 660 and says I want that one. Usually I'll knock a 100.00 off on that saw without batting a eye but he never asked for a penny off. Therefore I never batted a eye, he paid full list and away he went. My kinda customer. Later on that evening samething happened with a TS420 concrete saw. Customer points at it and says I want that one. That saw too I will knock off a 100.00 without batting a eye but he never asked for a penny off. He paid full list and out the door he goes.

Joat ya think maybe my new name tag on my shirt is causing these people not to ask for a discount. All it says is Discounters Will Be Shot! :hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:

So Mr.Leaky now has a new home. All the Stihls in the shed cheered and had a party knowing that Mr. Leaky wasn't oiling up their shelves anymore. Its good for Stihl guys like me to have a few Husky lovin friends....

Maybe it has occurred to you that Huskyvarna may have sent an undercover agent to your premises to save that unlucky saw. No bigger disappointment to a saw than unanswered love.....

Tommie,

I know what's causing all these people to walk into your store like lemmings and buying the saw of their dreams without any negotiation.

First, it's value. The customer recognizes that you sell a great product and more importantly, that ole Tommie is there to help with any problem they should ever encounter, except to sharpen a dull chain, so they recognize, in the words of the Sultan of Sales, "they gotsta pay".

Second, many customers have heard Roland, the Belgian Bellower, pontificate on his astute salesmanship. These customers are tired of hearing the Belgian speak in those terms and are sending a loud, clear, trans-Atlantic message that Tommie is number one, the Sultan of Sales.

That never occurred to me at all. I did think maybe God sent that man to my house to take that saw. I felt my prayers were merely answered,LOLOL

LOLOLOL If ole Tommy is a sultan, than I am the Lord of Sales :greenchainsaw:

 

[litefoot]

Tommie,

I hope you have a duly exectuted bill of sale with the date and time of the transaction noted. I hear the EPA is cracking down on oil spills and .... well ... ya know that Mr. Leaky spilled its innards all the way home. When they trace the leak source, have that bill of sale ready.

ole joat

If I remember correctly, Tommie's saw was originally called Mr. Drippy. So with the change of identity, he should be safe.

Hehehehe

So when the sales were tallied it came to pass,
Belgian came up short, Thall had kicked his azz.

Belgian looked at the tally again and could not understand,
He was just the talker of sales, Thall was the man.

Him mad as a hornet he hopped on a plane,
Coming to the USA , Belgian was insane.

His rage brought him to a little Leesburg town,
Finally, fianlly he had tracked ole Thall down.

He bursted into the shop fire in his eyes, a frown on his face,
He shouted are you Thall, are you the guy that runs this place.

With a big ole grin Thall said why yes indeedy, you come to buy a saw?
Belgian shouted no, I've come to discount you down THall.

Really Thall said, well come in the back room and lets see whatcha got.
The door closed and hour after hour went around the clock.

Finally out they came, all giggles and smiles,
Thall had overcharged Belgian by 3 country miles.

Roland,

A little advice. Take a dull chain with you when you enter the Leesburg Stihl Den. When ole Tommie goes for the sale, pull out the dull chain and ask him to sharpen it post haste. Works just like garlic on a vampire.

But beware, the day when belgian walks in that door of your facility in Leesburg, AS is going to find out how ole Tommy ran scared....

Oh nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Belgian, after taking a huge whippin on the price,
Came back to see Thall, said the chain wasn't right.

Why it needed to be sharpened and done right now,
Shouting started, tempers flared and drew in the whole town.

Thall said here buy another 10 chains and leave that one,
Belgian said oh no, I refuse and I want that sharpened now son.

The crowd gathered outside the building, TV crews had arrived,
Hour after hour the fight went on and on, who would survive.

Finally Belgian came out the shop carring 25 new chains in his hand,
He done got burnt by that dayumm Thall, oh what a man.

Belgian came back three weeks later to pick up his old chain,
Thall said it isn't ready yet, I hate sharpening, its a pain.

A few choice words took place between the two fine men,
but when Belgain left this time his chain count had gone up another 10.

I don't understand why what little vibes a saw gives gets some worked up. Sure, the smoother the better, but i really don't notice much difference in today's saws. I mean seriously guys, the last thing i notice after swinging a saw all day is my hands. Its my back, feet, shoulders, or whatever. And my shins from running into crap. Stomping around in limbs and wet brush and briars all day, soakin wet and sore. Why on earth would anyone complain about any modern saw's vibrations.
