The brainstorm is simple my friend. Lets say I lived a few miles from you and I'm a Dolmar fan. Remember I'm the customer, not the seller. I'm hardcore Dolmar and you sell Stihl. No matter what you tell me I want a Dolmar. You tell me all the hoop la about a Stihl and so on but if I still want a Dolmar whats gonna happen, you aren't gonna sell me a Stihl. Are you with me here?? Now if you had both on the shelf it wouldn't take you long to figure out what I want now would it? If you carried both I win and you win. I get what I want, my chocie of saw and you get what you want, a sale. Thats the brainstorm. Everyone wins. This non-sense issue of hardcore defence of my line up is better than their line up will not prevail to the hardcore customer that wants what he wants. The dealer who says my products are the best in the world is only cutting his own throat to those that aren't a fan of that product. He needs to say its a good product. That way should another brand ever come along he would be able to sell it side by side and not have to eat a ton of crow from the customers he's been lying to all along about the best product in the world. For what its worth there is no best product in the world. Here is where I will take defence of Stihl. Old man Stihl once said quote "no product is so good it cannot be improved", unquote. So there you have it, that is the brainstorm. If they are both good products and there is demand for both then sell them both and I'll see the ones that agru "ours is better" at the bank. Lordie me sometime I wonder if dealers would rather argu than sell sell sell. Thats what it all comes down to, sell sell sell. On this site its fun to sit back and fuss and fued and play around. Its neat to slip in a few slurs (sometimes books on my part,hehe) to see the reaction. In the store there is no place for any of this, its back to business and sell sell sell.
We need more established & respected Dolmar dealers in the US.
Ran the saw some more yesterday. Sat. it was about 45 degrees so I flipped the carb breather thingy open. Now Sun day it was 25 so I closed it back up again. Still running great! That will be great Thall if you get the Dolmar line too. Hope it works out for you! If that Stihl dealer would have gave me the time of day and I got a chance to run one, like I did the Dolmar, maybe I would of bought the Stihl. I doubt it though because right out of the gate I like this saw a hell of a lot better then I ever liked my 55 weed wip. This things a little hot rod!
