Ed I'm not sure how to reply,,
I agree with you and you make a lot of sense .
In my situation ,,, I started with 0.00 ,I used utility bill money for a month to get me going,,it set me behind ,,,I had nothing but a serious want to own my own business,,and several years in the field ding the same work for some one else, a lot of training and certifications , I seen how other business were being run into the ground, and that my family's future in any ones small business was not very secure ,,, almost all HVAC business were / are small business .
It was tough getting over the hump , I found places to buy some parts that were less expensive and the quality was just as good .
It takes a lot of dedication and a lot of self discipline . a lot of searching for the right place to buy parts as what parts to sell.
I do know word of mouth and taking care of customers,,on time service ,,,thats what kept the parts flowing and what made money, not just for me , business is not limited to what you sell its as much as what and where you buy it .
It doesnt take that long and word gets out that parts are all ways there,,good quality, and shipping is fast,,,, your customer base will increase very rapidly over a foreign made competitive product that parts are hard to find or no longer available , JMO
SS has a advantage over a lot of companies in that they offer some parts for their older equipment , another is no one seems to make after market parts ,,,if word got out they could ship fast ,,,,they wold have a very good niche .
