Come on guys, get to work!!!
Give all member's a 25% wholesale price!!!
In California the markup is 125% from wholesale anyways.
So whatever your catalogs are in the US, better make sure it's competitive!
This forum has people from all over the world working within and even personal contacts with direct manufacturers, if WE feel that there's truly no LOVE in your pricing and you're just giving us a mere 5% discount from retail, then you're truly wasting your time here.
My real question is:
ARE YOU A DECISION MAKER or ARE YOU A SALES REP, trying out the FORUMS for a MARKETING STRATEGY. If you're trying it out, then you are sadly mistaken.
It takes a TRUE MBZ owner to know what they want to buy or sell and what's it really worth to them.
Sorry, here's a dime, my 2Cents is free, give the 8Cents to Uncle Sam.

25% will never happen as all the exhausts are individually imported, we don't stock specific exhaust.
Discount would range in the 10 - 15% depending on number of buyers.
As far as my position, I am in charge, but I still need the "Go" from Remus Austria.
We are not in California, we are in NYC. The markup is not 125%, far from it.

Remus has a reputation for well made exhausts. But it also has a reputation of being over-priced compared to other competitive exhaust system out there. Plenty of custom shop to do the work as well. Trust me, we've all seen the custom work in this forum and many others just like this.
Being a vendor(or preferred vendor) is just like everywhere else. It must be earned, whether it's one person who makes a decision or a group. I won't make up the minds of everyone in this forum, but I will have to make my opinion heard.
In the world of wholesale, there are those who can make money by the masses and those who want to make money per transaction. If any vendor wants to get a bulk of the business by targeting specific forums with masses, they must know and understand, by experience how much money they can or cannot make, whether it's a Cherry Bomb exhaust from your local Kragen or Remus from a custom shop.
I still think 15% DISCOUNT is not enough of a group as large as the mbworld forum (over 45,000 member) or any other forum... We're talking about a specific manufactured car here. Just because it says MERCEDES, doesn't mean we don't care to spend wisely.
Be reasonable, at 10% that's 4500, at 1% that's 450 people. That's a good sale for a rep. If the REMUS "REP/DECISION Maker" looks at those number, it's nothing to retire to. But if you look at those numbers on a return business standpoint, a TRUE business leader/management decision would give a much better discount from their commssion than 15%.
Hypothetically speaking, I don't know what the commission is, but why make 20%(?) commission on 450 people when you can make a 5% commission on 45,000 with a referral based business like the forum? At an average price of $400 for the exhaust systems at let's say 20% commssion, that's $80.00 per, with 450 people, that's $7200.00. Follow me here, at 5% over a long-term with 45,000 people that's $900,000.00, return business, more product placement and association amongst members and friends.
Like I said, to be a preferred vendor means it has to be earned. It takes a reasonable amount of time and a long-term relationship to be successful and consistent. If you're looking to make a quick $ from a few people who think they're getting a deal. It's not nice to burn 1 person from a group of over 45,000 members on this or any other forum.

I'm not trying to scare anyone. He responded to my questions. I have been working sales and if he has experience, he knows how tough it is to sell to a GROUP or an INDIVIDUAL.
