Well, I was not going to bring that up, but yes. When your known for being at the show, known builder, dealer for the products, absolutly tha manufacturer will approach you with a "whats new". I will even "mention" a new project sometimes. But those are quick conversations and I am quick to get out of the way of a potential new custmer or another dealer needing to check out the new products on display.
I guess what I am refering to is the unknown shops and retail public. I do not want to say those need to operate differently, but I guess they have to operate differently.
