Heard great things about BDM in Vernon from some guys on Saturday. They spoke well enough about the place I'd check them out if I was looking for a Poo.

That is still a bad attitude. Not sure why people defend that. Dealers or shops that help or are able to help people in need are the ones that thrive. And if you can't, at least being sympathetic helps. Dale throwing out the attitude just because he has you over a barrel is just bad business. Good move on BRP's part, guys like that are cancer.
Lmfao

But then if you treat him like a person

He comes to the shop on a Sunday to fix ya up, like he's done for me before


Dale's a great chit, anyone that says otherwise, must have pissed in his corn flakes, with attitude and entitlement attacted

Years ago he whined to the BC district manager from BRP because I had sold 3 sleds into Revy. I get a note from Rod slipped under my hotel door he wants to have a chat with me. I call my DM and ask him what the BC guy wants? He said he wants to give me a lecture on selling into his territory. Alex, my DM says dont go to the meeting I will. He goes to Rods room with laptop and listens to Rod bag about me then opens up his laptop and shows him that Dale sold 24 Seadoo's into Alberta that year. End of discussion. Never had a problem again.

Oh, I had alot of buddy's from central berta that bought from him, years and years ago


I could understand being a bit pissed, a dealer from 5-6 hours away, selling in there area

Now if the person from his area drove to you and bought, that's the client's choice

But in the instance of stew at Courtney, for example, selling from renes place, I can understand how he would be a bit chitty with that

If I was the local owner, I probably would be too

Lots of dealers and I mean lots in BC and Alberta and even a couple from Sask have issues with Stews extended reach. Funny thing is that same DM that is now an RM looks the other way. Very hypocritical IMHO.

That guy must doo something right. I know guys in Fort St John that buy from him and pick up in Sicamous.

On a brp vip ride in revy I had the DM ask me who I thought I was buying from you in Lethbridge and not where I live. I thought that was strange.

I don't really care about him and what hes doing. Its no skin off me. I heard he treats his customers awesome so there is the draw. All I'm saying Bert is he was breaking his dealer agreement setting up Rene basically as his sub dealer and BRP is looking the other way? Thats for them to sort out I guess? Lol

Ya kinda weird they allow it cause that guy Paul from brp didn't mind giving a customer (me) a hard time. Thats when the other guys on the ride turned on him about shutting trackside down and that was my opportunity to exit rather than argue with him. Life's to short lol

You know what's funny though. Local dealers in AB selling to guys in sask for prices they wouldn't give to someone in their local area and then bitching about bc dealers that are willing to deliver sleds within bc.

Imo the customer should be able to spend their money wherever they want......

Dealers don't mean very much to brp, just look at echo as an example, all disposable.
Sales is what matters, the RM isn't gonna step on a dealer selling the most.

HaHa! Paul is a career climber. Came across as a nice guy but was ruthless. Sticking it to Marv was not one of his finer moments. He was the reason the guys who bought me out sold to New Way

Ya I remember what he did to those guys over that showroom. Cost them money and then he reneged. Now look at NuWay, I was buy there a few weeks ago on way to my buddies brewery and the building has Banner on it.
