How about this. We were always opposed to network dealings. We decided to come on board and embrace this new mind set. So we have affiliated with Harmon and Netcost(They let us tailor our contract to more favorable agreement) The amount of work is trickeling in but have to give it more time to evaluate these two networks. They seem very independent friendly. Lynx on the other hand would not budge on there contracts.(They have been sending us more repairs than the others). Strictly business with these guys.

Now for the Safelite folks. We submitted all paperwork only to get a letter in the mail that they declined us but would put us in there database for customer preference selections. The reason being that in my area they already had enough shops that they were happy with the quanity and quality of the work they were doing.

Being from the east coast I tend to be a little more presistant about things. So I called and spoke with the regional manager about this. He was concerned that I would want to start replacing glass in the near future. Once I explained that in our area there are glass shops that do repair but there are very few if any in some areas that strictly do mobile professional repair, he was was then onboard. I have my own reasons why I think they were concerned about our shop doing replacements but I will keep that to myself. You never know who is reading!!!!! Anyway we are in.

The moral here is, if they reject you, push them a little and make them feel like they have something to gain from your affiliation.

Has this ever happened to anyone before?
