Re: As the Juggernaut Rolls On, Here’s a Conspiracy Theory for You

Sglass
From the minds of "I'm not paranoid, They really are out to get me!!"
Plan:
1.Promote mobile service and getting rid of brick & mortar shops. Quietly buy large chains of brick & mortar locations.

2.Wholesale glass & supplies extremely cheap to all your competitors.

3.Insert yourself between Indies and the Insurance Companies. This will give you strong control of market pricing, how and where the work will be done.

Effect:
1a. Once most shops are gone, denounce mobile installs as unsafe & extremely damaging to the cars & puts the occupants at extreme risk. This will immediately cut a MAJOR portion of your nationwide competition due to their lack of shops or being geared to mostly mobile service.
2a. Greatly reduce Independent wholesalers selling to Indies & raise your wholesale prices to remaining Indie AGR shops. Make a lot of parts unavailable to Indies and keep for your own use.
3a. once you denounce mobile service you can divest your TPA of all mobile operators & have a legitimate reason for having replacements done in your own locations. Raise prices to Insurance Companies.

Sglass, in the famous words of POGO, "We have met the enemy, and he is us."
