Ahh... Not true! He has placed his order with me and needs the system. I'd say there is a very good chance that the first competent person he speaks to will have the sale.
I'm waiting for the right opportunity to emerge for you. My stuff doesn't break down often (really, not a sales pitch!) and most of the folks do their own installs. ...But sooner or later, someone is going to need an install in your area or rebuild of a complex and larger unit on the west coast and I'll shoot them your way.
Even if folks think you are a nutcase because of your views on life, liberty and guns, I believe you know your stuff.
I have a customer in mind for a somewhat straight forward repair job, but so far, he hasn't jumped past, "I think we might be able to fix this in house" to "Oh Lord, find me someone who can do this." If he does, it'll be a small skid sent to you from him with parts from me, etc.
You know... There are times when you choose to do business with people because you believe in what they stand for and there are times you do business with people because it is profitable or good for the future of business.
Would you stop using your mechanic if he sent your master cylinder to Gunner to be rebuilt? What if he sent the top end of your engine over for a rework?
Whether you agree with his life philosophy or not, he knows his stuff and service and reliability are important. I haven't done business with him yet, but my dealings with him on a professional level for info have been nothing but good.
...Of course, I've written of people after the first real experience too so the book isn't closed on anything until the fat lady sings.
The bottom line is that I choose to do business with whom I please. If a customer chooses to ignore me and my product because of a proposed trial of services, so be it. I would love to serve you and anyone here, but being blacklisted for hanging out with people is what Jesus was also accused of so I guess I'm in good company. :)
