It is really surprising to me that there is any uproar over this manufacturer trying to protect their dealer. I would expect people to come out of the woodwork and sing their praises.
In situations like this I use an idea of what if everyone acted like this:
If everyone acted like terrmul (in this situation) we would all go around copying exactly any quote that fell into our lap, where would that leave our industry?
Then we have fortress, what if every manufacturer acted like them? They come across a quote that every acknowledges was copied. They contact who made the quote and who they have a relationship with rather than negotiating with someone who just gave them a copied quote. If every manufacturer did this where would we be?
Which World would you rather live in?
This is my last post in this thread by the way, I am not looking to make enemies.
No enemies here. Just simply a discussion that has gotten heated. But to say he has stolen a quote is simply untrue. Especially given Fortress never provided him any info. I would have done the same thing as Terrmul and HAVE done this in the past. If a client wants something, I'm going to try to make it work for them! For the record, I'm leaning toward Fanboy :)
I don't think he would be this mad if he were told from the beginning he could not become a dealer and Fortress was willing to help him fulfill the ID's requests. I don't care either way but it still doesn't add up.
