Re: Dealer agreement flexibility
There are often a number of different factors that dealers have to deal with. Part of this is the benefits that come with being a dealer-and understanding that the manufacturer will not be just "selling to anybody" so they will be able to make a profit and stay in business.
There is nothing wrong with making a profit-businesses have to in order to stay in business-pay employees-rent-insurance and so forth.
If they are losing sales to people who do not have those expenses-then why should the other people even bother?
Often there are limits to how many dealers there can be in a certain area-again to help support the people who are actually selling product.
The manufacturers do not lose any sales (you would buy the product anyway)-but help the local real dealers make a profit so they can sell more product.
