Dealer Promotion, Expansion

[Diggin It]

We all know that one of the dings often quoted against LS is their sparse dealer network. Has anybody explored trying to get a local business to pick up a dealership? I've got a few places that might be prime candidates, but I'm not really sure how to approach them and make it sound like it would be in their best interest. A couple of them are farm/AG stores and other are larger construction equipment dealers. That may not sound like much of a match, but the area Massey dealer is primarily a large CAT dealer.

One I'm thinking of asking is a large Case dealer, but if Case is bringing back their tractor line, they may not be interested.
