Well if you think about it this way there's also less packaging involving b2b. You don't have to sell to a middleman who then will resell it. You can just sell at the higher price point to start with and you can have a whole lot less packaging involved and then just provide it straight out to the company. You also selling both which gets you a larger amount at once so rather than having to stockpile and everything like that. There's a whole lot of other factors that go in selling B2B for even a retail company as opposed to selling retail.
Yeah absolutely. It's a very different experience. I was just pointing out that they are other different reasons to prefer not to do residential service calls that don't apply to retail. There are a lot of extra steps for retail but it's all an established process. The guys I talk to that have done service call work all have absolutely insane stories.
