Yeah, charge the customer for anything extra you have to do beyond what E* pays.
We already do this with D*.
D* doesn't give anything extra to the dealers for the extra receivers they want you to give away but we have to pay extra for - you actually lose money the more receivers you give away. They pay for the installation on the 3rd receiver ($40) but don't give enough to cover the installation on the 2nd ($25). Figure that one
So rather than play D*'s game - we give one receiver away free, 2 cost the customers $30, 3 cost the customers $50. Our customers don't mind paying the extra to get it from us and have us install it. The ones that do, can go get it for free, have a kid drill the dish thru the middle of the roof with cables everywhere, and when they have problems in the future can call us and pay a $50+ service call to fix it right.
I haven't heard anything yet about these cutbacks on commission. Could you elaborate a little more.
