My point is bad dealers lose business and go away or lose Control4. Don't go to someone who just took on the line if you want an advanced system. Don't hire Best Buy if you need more than a universal remote. I don't take a Lambo (oh no another car reference) to the kid down he street who could work on my kids Honda just fine.
Yes. You know that dealers and Control4 get calls from unsatisfied customers with other dealers... that many previous new/old Control4 dealers have gone out of business or lost their dealership. It's not like they just get one and its done.
Not really. I am fine with my own opinion. I also never previously stated I personally knew more than anyone here... I stated that end users really don't have the ability to understand a product a dealer would be interacting with on unique levels pretty much 365 days a year, year after year.
I never understand down votes in this forum. I am non-specific in my posts and when someone directly comments to me and I respond it's negative. Interesting...
...I'm not talking about installation ability.
I think dealers could equally share days of stories about going to job sites for issues that were self inflected on the client end that they still don't understand... or being frustrated because they assumed they could do something without asking the dealer specifically when designing the project. It's an equal game.
The references to cars aren't about being able to do them yourself... and even so... I can't go put a remote starter in my new car, I need a certified garage for that.
The point is about changing company structure for sales... not self management. You're friends can buy something else. That's not what the product is. People refuse to believe that professionals know better about automation just because they can work the drop down menus in composer.
