Mostly for people buying through distribution.

If I set up as a Savant distribution dealer, do we get access to Blueprint programming or is it only Studio App. I am mostly concerned abut being able to upgrade and service existing Pro Host jobs. Is that possible as a distribution dealer?

It was no problem getting set up as direct. No required buy in, or minimum commitments.

There is no more Studio App. You have to take the Select training to get access to Blueprint now. Don't know where you're located but W$%$ is having trainings in May.

You pay a a bit more that direct, but you don't have to warehouse any specific amount, and there's there's not as large a buy in to take the training. Also, if you are registered for the rewards program, and can do 50K in Savant in a quarter, you can get up to a 9% rebate on Savant and many other brands they carry.

Thanks. My issue is getting them to reply to an email or return a call. I want to buy the kit and get authorized. Crazy the hoops I have to jump through to give someone money. Been selling and programming savant since the beginning and now I have to beg someone to take my money for it.

Just make sure to give giving them your money, otherwise it cost an arm and a leg to keep your clients serviced. There are many x-Savant dealers now that are paying to just keep their account turned on.

When control system companies lock you out...post publicly/loudly about it...then talk with their competitors about trade in/switch over pricing.

It should be illegal to block you from buying/servicing your clients product.

And then one day, *poof*, and it was over.

The branch manager for the particular branch got involved and helped me. All's well that ends well.

Yep, as soon as their rep explained that point, any further thoughts about becoming a dealer were immediately terminated....
What do you mean you wanted it on the other wall - couldn't you have mentioned this when we prewired?
