steempro discount
« on: June 26, 2005, 12:30:37 pm »
i have found a company who  have offered to sell me a steempro powerflo/max
for a 20% discount off the price from the prochem brochure............is this a scam??    or do other companys offer a discount??

i guess you pay vat on all machines/equipment/chemicals..........
so if it isnt a scam i would then get a 2.5% discount on book price???

A lot of the dealers who stock Prochem products offer a discount on the Prochem catalogue.

Makes you wonder what Prochem could sell their products at :o

Ashbys are selling there Ninja for £1800 + VAT. 2x3 stage vacs, 400psi pump and element heater.  No tools or wand in that price.

A better machine IMO.

Give these a ring Crystal cleaning supplies North Cray road Sidcup or London Cleaning Supplies Brownhill Rd Catford ask for Larry. Both are Prochem suppliers.

My local prochem supplier does not give any discount unless you are a loyal customer and you order a large quantity.Then its only 10% ::)

hi

sent u email

PROCHEM SX2100 STEEMPRO 2000 POWERMAX + WAND + HOSES 7.5m. + 1 DAY FREE TRAINING COURSE VIA PROCHEM FOR USE OF MACHINE AND CHEMICALS. FREE DELIVERY TO MOST PARTS OF THE UK. £1281.63 + VAT

PROCHEM TR300 FIVESTAR UPRIGHT COMPACT EXTRACTOR. + 1 DAY FREE TRAINING COURSE VIA PROCHEM FOR USE OF MACHINE AND CHEMICALS. FREE DELIVERY TO MOST PARTS OF THE UK £781.83 + VAT

dont want to put it on here as very good price. found that sometimes you better keeping mouth shut,
as some suppliers will not be happy at someone discounting product. and try putting a stop on it.

this is why suppliers have trade price lists in all trades.
prochem no different, say you bought machine of prochem
£1800 +vat if they sold one to joe bloggs is local supplier
could not argue as he would have done him better deal.

have been selling carpets for 15 years my family 40
and the prices i get now are siily. if approched by any rep,
be it advertising or powder, just say no, never say price you are getting or worse show invoice to proof it,
or you my have just lost the deal you was getting.

hope me ranting helps

thanks darren

INTERESTING

You all rave on about NOT competing with low price carpet cleaners, YET HERE YOU ARE.

LOOKING FOR THE CHEEPEST PRICE for your own purchases.

In other words.......behaving like the majority of consumers, who use our services !

What does that say about you?  Are you suggesting that your prospects should'nt " do as you do "and  NOT buy your service on price.

This little discussion has been very revealing about buying habits and realism !

Why should your prospective clients behave differently from you ?

Nuff said

I think the difference is that with equipment you are comparing like from like(being the same manufacturer)(as long as the after sales are equal!)but with cleaning you are not, would you say that someone who will clean a suite in 45 minutes with a machine that cost a couple of hundred pounds and no training will do as good a job as someone who has invested thousands of pounds in quality equipment and training, and maybe takes about 4 hours or more? As with all things in life you get what you pay for.
