Quick 36 questions for Gary

Yo Phil:

I'm sure he will be adding more soon!

Yo Gary:

I feel your pain, I fell off the roof of a house one time & my hip caught the corner of the A/C unit. A lot of pain, but the worse pain was those thoughts that raced through my head for about the first 2 or 3 minutes after touchdown...

LOL, then I snapped out of it & realized that I was OK except for a terrible bruise & limp for the next few days.

----------------------------------

It was a Miracle & the best thing that ever happened to me! I realized that I wasn't bullet proof & that was when I decided to hire my first employee. It was straight up from there & I never looked back!

You can make good money working by yourself, but when you hire Labor Cheap & Sell their labor high...

It means the difference between a $85K home & a $200K home, it means the difference between no days off & a couple of weeks off, it means the difference between 2 vehicles for my wife & I and 4 vehicles for my wife & I.

The list could go on forever, hiring employees to work for me means that if I fall off a roof & break my hip and it takes me 12 weeks before I recover, that I'm still in business.

It's hard to be a continual success by yourself with nobody behind you, but most all Big Successful people have many behind them!

Our primary emphasis is on marketing directly to our REAL customers, the people who are actually using our machines. We will have a smattering of conventional distribution, but direct is the future, IMHO.

Better Outdoor Products will also be available in Tractor Supply Co. stores for those that "must kick the tires", but at slightly higher retail prices. We've also had interest from the two "Big Box" stores, but nothing finalized.

Doing trade shows has a high "cost per prospect" ratio... With the booth rental, display, transportation, lodging, etc. we spent around ten grand on Louisville last year. I can buy quite a bit of spot market cable for that kinda money.

Hello, I agree that the Quick36" would sell Gangbusters through distributors. My local dealer has sold thousands of Troy-Bilt 33"'s & Sutech Stealths & now carries the BillyGoat 33" for which he allready has multiple orders. The Troy-Bilt is one of his best sellers to new commercial cutters. The Quick 36" looks to be a far superior to these mowers.

The reason these units sell so well is that there are many LCO's looking for a less expensive & or more compact & lighter unit than the tradition commercial 32" or 36" belt drive.

Jack D. would recomend a 3 blade 33" or 2 blade 32" version before introducing a larger deck size to secure the massive market for smaller compact gate mowers.

Get them in showrooms & you will clean-up.

Jack...
I've got to ask, why the heck do you always speak in the third person. Is this just a bad habit or was there a terrible accident as a child that caused this behavior?

And also, WHO? is going to pull up in front of their customers house with a 36" walk behind just thrown up in the bed of their truck which takes 2 people to unload. Looks real professional. And if you don't know how to pop a wheelie and walk a walk behind up a trailer gate and gently set it down, then you might want to stick to your G.I. Bill thing or whatever it is.
