 I've noticed several comments about not selling on the net. Is this about the web site or us not selling on the net....Forcing sales through pro shop. It's a business decision based on history. Not a topic I feel compelled to discuss, although you can discuss this amoung yourselves.....  


Let's discuss!

I feel they may be limiting their exposure by only to selling to pro shops, but I respect the decision.  I think I understand the reasons behind it, but I'll keep them to myself for now.

Good, bad, or indifferent, what do you think?

I appreciate your opinion on this matter, but as you can see from the quote in the original post, the owner of the company invited us to discuss the business decision amongst ourselves.

quick777,  actually it is very easy for a pro shop to order from global.
no hassle at all.
some of their staff are from the columbia / track days,  so when a pro shop calls them,  you may be dealing with someone who allready knows you.

some balls are called >>>driller friendly,
900global is >>> pro shop friendly.

I'm not questioning whether they are pro shop friendly or not.  I'm simply relating my recent experiences on the subject - 1 shop had never heard of the company and the other was waiting to hear from his distributor.

EricThomas, as he offered in another thread, has been more than helpful with helping me obtain the product.

If they are relying on pro shops to get the product out there, how many small shops out there have never heard of the company or the products?  Not every shop is up to date on latest trends (we've all seen the posts about that).

I bought a Break from my local pro shop.  The owner is very knowledgeable and
knew how to drill the ball to get what I want out of it (something that you
obviously do not know how to do-based on your continual rants and stupid
posts).  We did not have any deep discussions on how any company chooses to
follow their business plan.  Why don't you contact the CEOs of all the Fortune
500 companies and discuss their business plans with them.  How many of them do
you think will even talk to you?  Newguy has been a prince putting up with
your nonsense.  As far as credibility is concerned, who has more you or the
President of a bowling ball manufacturing company?  With your stupid shenanigans, these valuable resources will not post any more.  Yes, as we all
know, you are the village idiot.  Your answer will not be read by me, you are
now on my ignore list also.
