need a chipper

This is only my opinion and it may only be banter, but when you guys slag off each other`s make of product it looks bad all round. For us tree workers our customers are not generally on Arbtalk. I`d imagine a lot of your customers are. Forgive me if I speak out of turn.

Personally, I think you are right and it shows a lack of professionalism on our part! In my defence - I would like to make it clear that I have never 'slagged' other people or their products on this forum before and it is always a competitor popping at us. From you Arb guys we can take it but when the competitors try and undermine our name on your forum, well frankly I think it's a bit much and I briefly lowered myself to their standard - for that I apologise.

I will make my complaint through the proper channels.

The post was about rental. My post was aimed at that.

 

However, as manufacturer I get to hear all the comments, good and bad, about all makes and all suppliers of arb machinery. The term Tinnywolf was gleaned from another post from some time ago, if they use it and no one complains then why do I get moaned at for using it in jest (hence the smiley).

 

I have heard many other reps denigrate other makes and models in front of customers as a way of promoting their own make over the competition. Whilst I just did it in jest, it is not something I would do in seriousness to gain a customers favour. That, to me, would show a remarkeable lack of intelligence and incredible bad manners.

 

I have never complained to another supplier when I hear someone at a trade show pass by saying "I ain't looking at that ****, they over there told me they are pants." I just take it one the chin! One day I might be able to change their mind.

I agree with you Dean, but I think the 'banter' should be face to face (as it often is) rather than on an open forum where others do not understand how much we really love each other!
