Why would you, as a dealer, promote HGAC Buy over your own efforts with

Why would you, as a dealer, promote HGAC Buy over your own efforts with Municipal Customers? • You have customers who want to buy your products, but are afraid that their governing authority will make then take the low bidder. • You have customers that don’t want to go through the ordeal of writing formal, detailed bid specifications and under go the scrutiny of their supervisor or purchasing agent on whether they were “Fair and Open” with their bid specifications.

Why Promote HGAC Buy? • Your efforts calling on, educating, and demonstrating your customer

Why Promote HGAC Buy? • Your efforts calling on, educating, and demonstrating your customer has earned you the right to make higher profit margins! • While our bid has not been submitted yet, I anticipate the bid will hold approximately 15% margin for the dealer on the base body bid and will be list price on the available options. • I’ve been there in the trenches like you guys and 15% margin on a municipal bid is pretty respectable.

Why would you NOT want to promote HGAC/Buy? • If you take a so/so

Why would you NOT want to promote HGAC/Buy? • If you take a so/so customer to HGAC they will also have access to any of our competitors that have provided bids. Not Smart On Our Part!!! • You want to introduce someone who wants to buy from you but avoid the bid process. • HGAB/Buy is not for everyone, but it can be a valuable weapon in your arsenal!

Is there a cost to the customer for HGAC/Buy services? There is a commission

Is there a cost to the customer for HGAC/Buy services? There is a commission fee of 1. 5% that is included in the body bid we provide them. When will you be able to start promoting HGAC/Buy? The buying year for HGAC begins August 1.
