How did that response come out of this?

"It has been a nice trailer, very well made & Silverlite has been very good to deal with"

I've heard of putting a spin in things, but this is a bit much.

   I don't have a Silverlite, don't think I've ever seen one in person. Heard good things about them, really like the looks of the raised roof over the gooseneck area..... Wife would really like that, she's always banging her head on the celing up there.

  Dustin, you got a good looking inventory up there north of Calgary. You got any of your Ford trucks or Silverlite trailers listed here on HTW? Alot of folks rambling around over here.... 773 folks online as I type this sentence.

 Quote....  I am being honest and trusting with everything i say

  Well, I just can't seem to find your Silverlite listings..... There are no Silverlite trailers listed on HTW in Alberta, Canada. Help me out here, where do you have your trailers listed on HTW?? Maybe Dave, hasn't had time to get them all posted up yet.....

   In your fourth post you listed your web address, you might want to check that address again.

Hello,

 Yes sorry i typed the address wrong sorry its www.carstairsford.com

 And yes i relize we dont have any one right now... we are just in the process of updating our adds we have on the HTW becuase we have sold the 3 traielrs we had on HTW and now we are setting it up so we can get them all on there.

sorry for the inconveinance

I know a little bit about business. I successfully started and ran one for a couple of decades. I don't get my kicks by reading disingenuous statements, that slant the facts. Nothing is wrong with feedback. Without using it properly, a business will fail. However, expounding with exaggerating statements, cannot be included under the guise of "collecting feedback"

Well im not upi for any arguments with you "gard" all i want is some feed back and theres nothing wrong with that and if you dont have any feed back on silverlite trailers then you shouldnt be in the conversation and i dont mean to be rude but if you have no feed back then your in the worng poll.

Thanks  

Dustin,

I think what everyone is trying to say here is that dealers don't normally come online in the bulletin board and ask what people think of the trailers they are carrying. 

We sell banners and advertising for that and they do quite well. 

No offense of course.   We'll even be happy to commission a direct mail survey with Silverlite if you wish.  Just contact me.  Silverlite makes a great trailer by the way.

Two things a business owner needs to do: One is to check out his competition to see what he is doing correctly that makes him successful.

We are fortunate to have several dealers, who are not only members of this forum, but are held in high esteem by the membership.

A review of threads posted by two of those, Richard at Select Trailer and Don at Dixie Horse and Mule Co, are notable for what they DON"T do. They don't bash competitors, degrade or call people names. They are respectful and very willing to help with any problem. They don't exaggerate or say they've done something they haven't. They don't play games, and are professional at all times. They enjoy the kudos given to those who are deserving.

The second thing you need to know about is first impressions. With a new customer, a business owner has only seconds to come across as being professional, considerate, knowledgeable and honest. If you don't, your sales will plummet. Everything you say, and how you say it, will determine how successful you will become.

All of your correspondence is directly indicative of your communicative attributes, and your ability to conduct a successful business.

Gard - I was right there with you until this part.

As you can tell, the following is a quote of yours also.

Please reread my posting, it's tone and my responses. You will find that I was offering a legitimate critique of what I believed was lacking in his presentation. You will notice that I did not react to his growing up comment, or for telling me that "his" part of this forum isn't any of my business.

I did not bash him or his spelling. If I were to do so, he would be black and blue. As subtly as possible, I indicated an area in which he professionally is deficient, and if he wants to be successful, can easily use tools to help him achieve that goal.

My posting was an effort to present legitimate information, that may be beneficial in his efforts to run a business.

"Ok so i understand some people here making comments dont understand the logic of buisness and thast totaly fine you get kicks outta sitting on your computer making comments about things you really dont know about"

I DO know a little about business. If he doesn't wish to listen, that's his problem.
