how do you become an agent for a company ?does anyone on here do this already and have any advice on how to go about this, and the pros and cons. thanks stevie:thumbup1:

I looked into doing this here in Ireland, but found that most of the best brands were already gone in my area and I didn't want to be stuck selling brands I wouldn't buy myself.

Its important to remember that its not just the stoves you need to stock... parts, pipes chimney accessories etc are also vital (They may well be more lucrative than the stoves themselves).

You will need a proper showroom where people can see a range of stoves in comfort and can imagine them in their own home.

You also will need in depth knowledge of the product and its correct installation and patience to spend hours talking to people, some who have no real intention of buying!

 

Edit- You could ask these guys have they got any agencies going in your area...

OR a very good website.

True, but I would imagine most of the website sellers also have a showroom. Most people see a stove as a feature in a room as well as a source of heat and may want to see "it in the flesh".

However... something like this would be ideal:cool1:

Thats who I bought mine off

We visited our local showroom, picked the one we liked and then bought it off the net for £400 less.

once i sort out the stoves the website can be updated to suit, showroom and educated salesperson is at the ready, hetas chimney sweep found, installer sourced, site for showroom in very pucka, full of rich folk. and wood drying nicely.
