People who do not own businesses have no clueThere is no profit in this.
We pay $50 for the dish kit with antenna, $70 for each HD box and $140 per DVR.
Considering you charge $149 for the install with the Dish, $99 per HD receiver and $199 per DVR.
The installers typically make $100 on the primary install and $25 for each room.
So let’s say we sell a 2 room system with DVR. You charge the customer $450.
We make $100 + $30 + $60 = $190
Installer wants $125 of that which leaves us at $65.
The $65 goes to the person who sold it. Where is the profit for the dealer?
Typical Dish/Directv install we make $300, plus we get paid the install of $100/$25/$25/$25
At the $300 profit the sales person gets $60-$120 but there still is money left over.
Then they have these Bad Buy “ Flash” sales.
There is no way I can do someone else’s installation.
Granted there are no “Chargebacks” but we are making so little money, you would think there better be no chargebacks.
I spoke with a lady who was excited to hear we had programming at $40/mo including up to 4 rooms.
She was in total shock when I quoted $550 for install.
