Somar Powerboss Ex Distributors Info

Hi all,

I was a Powerboss distributor a few years ago, I had some good & bad installations. The technical support from Somar is poor, very poor. I was complaining about losing £10k on the distributorship, they point me to other distributors who sell on the current reduction, not KW reduction.
Look at their turnover, its small really. A lot of it comes from selling distributorships.
A company such as theirs should be product sales led, it isnt, they want to make new distributorship money!. Take a look at their warehouse, its small compared to their new distributorship sales team offices!!!

A major reason you cant make any cash selling powerboss is their poor holding of product stock. You pay UPFRONT WITH ORDER for your powerboss, they then take upto 10 weeks to deliver the product......... YES- 10 WEEKS!, your cashflow is a nightmare, 10 weeks to wait for your product, anbother 6 weeks to get your customer to pay you. It aint worth it.

Sure, they have some superb marketing stuff, much better than many others on the market. But, my advice to anyone looking at this would be buy one from somewhere, try & sell it, then see how hard it really is - its **beep** hard. The biggest hurdle is trying to sell to people who have already seen an old powerboss salesman, he messed it all up because he had no technical ability.
Basically with Somar, turn up with your fee, they take your money and re-advertise for new distributors in your area, because when you fail they have another lined up ready to replace you.
