dealership
I understand that you need a store front. I am looking for figures on the return. upfront commissions, do you recieve a residual income? I am trying to compile a business plan and need some financial figures to see if it is a worth following through with. I can only guess dtv pays upfront commisions of around $100.00 maybe more? installs on in house sales, I am guessing on a 3 box between 175.00-270.00 material included. can some one clarify this figure for me please. dtv will not give out this information unless you first go through the process of being a dealer. I want this info to see if i need to further go through the dealership process.
thx,

It is over $200 but you have overhead and costs of doing business so you will not net that per customer plus if a customer does not keep the system on for a year you get a chargeback so you could lose money on some sales.
We looking into the possiblilty of becoming a dtv dealer and decided that for us running as an affiliate dealer through an existing dealer. For us it has worked out well, we run our sales through A/V Consultants in MD. If you would be interested in talking to him his email is : vze3282@verizon.net
Rodger is very good to work with, we are enjoying our relationship with his company.

I would go through an existing dealer if I were to do it. I have had different offers of what would be paid, some even offering no chargebacks (but too many would equal no more selling through them). I think the retailer in some cases pays most of the commissions that he receives and he has to be able to make something too.
A/V consulatants pays $200 for the sale and install of a three receiver system. I feel that's a pretty fair price without all the hassles. And Rodger is one of the most honest people we have ever dealt with. In some instances he has paid us for a sale that we missed invoicing him for. See how often you see that happen in this business!!!!!
