Thinking about becoming a Scorpyd Dealer

On the "Thinking About" part. I would want to know what my potential "existing" customer base is. The Scorpyd product is great but if you plan to be a dealer and just offer and service that brand, I'm afraid you may have a very small regional market. Can Scorpyd provide number of sold to customers by for 2018 and 2019 by state or better yet, by zip code?

To your question....

Service that is unique to crossbows is what will distinguish you from MOST archery shops.

The things you need to consider as a dealer are the tools and knowledge necessary to service the product. Tools are easy to buy, knowledge is hard to come by quickly and you can see from the responses above, it's important.

Here are a few more suggestions:
- As a start up dealer having the current popular Scorpyd xbow models in house would be good
- The key accessories: crank systems, optics, arrows, quivers,
- The key service items: strings and cables
- The ability to tune a crossbow
- The ability to change strings and cables
- Arrow setup knowledge for target and hunting applicable to the various Scorpyd bow models
- The soft skills to be able to deliver instruction

Well said TX_RDXguy. I would add to that be honest with your customers. I purchased a new DS420 at the end of summer from an out-of-state dealer on eBay because there were no Scorpyd dealers in my area and it was a good deal on the bow I wanted. The first problem was that he upgraded the scope as part of the deal, which was great, but when I received the bow it had the wrong scope mounts. It took three attempts before he sent the right ones. The bow also came with the short sled cocker and when I asked to swap that for the long rope sled with pulleys he sent me a used one that had obviously been modified. The ends of the rope had been shortened which was okay because it fit me better anyway but whoever did that didn't bother to melt the ends and they were frayed. Also not sure why they thought they had to shorten both ends but whatever. It was also not in the factory packaging. His excuse was that Scorpyd sent it to him that way. Really? If and when I need service I seriously doubt I would trust that dealer.
