Say two gunshops were in the area
Shop A had by far the cheapest price, but the owner was kind of a douche..not overtly, but they made it clear by their mannerisms you were nothing but a customer. Shop B was significantly more expensive, but treated you like family. Which would you choose to do business with? |

Even if the savings are significant? As in 20-30%? And for the sake of argument both are small local businesses. Quoted:

I frequently spend more at either local businesses vs big box stores or nice guys vs douchebags. Even if the savings are significant? As in 20-30%? And for the sake of argument both are small local businesses. I pay well over 30% for motors because my rep and his company are good people vs some other guy who is a dick. So yes-even if the savings are 30%. Maybe drop a line to the good guy and say "Hey, I love you guys-and I don't mind paying a little more but dickhead has it for $500 and you are at $600. Can you get to $550 maybe?" The good guy WANTS your business. Give him a shot. |
