Jonathan Porter's New Shop

[fredmason]

In my idle time I often read posts that I may have passed on when they were fresh. I don't recall seeing this mentioned on this forum.

It is quite a long trip to shop but hey....just to visit with Jonathan and family would be worth the cost.

Congratulations JP and Frieda; may your cash-drawer always be full!

Poor JP, even a thread congratulating him on his new Minelab dealership turns into an argument. I having been a dealer for most of my life do not know whether to congratulate JP or send my sympathies. Ah heck, let's go with the positive. Congratulations JP on being without a doubt on day one the most knowledgeable Minelab dealer on the planet!

On a semi-related note Minelab has moved their headquarters from the Torrensville base of nineteen years to a new corporate headquarters along with Codan in Adelaide. http://www.minelab.com/usa/go-minelabbing/news?article=266745

Hi Steve, your right I do have my doubts, but I have boys in year 12 next year and expenses are rising, the dealership opportunity opened up when I came home from WA in September so I decided to make the plunge. Clermont is a small town with only 2000 inhabitants with reasonable sized populations either side of us. Due to our HOT summers the detecting season is mainly from April through to October. I have no intention of trying to take on the bigger dealers in the discount wars but will instead focus on something more specialised, one on one, hands on training, in the same ground I've tested every Minelab since 1995.

 

Thanks for the support

JP

Congrats JP!

Jeez, everytime I read a thread on one of the Aussie forums they turn into a pissing match!

 

Best of luck with your new venture JP.

Cheer's JP, all the best with your venture into the depths of the detecting trade

Set up some one on one sessions in the NQ bush and I feel you will do OK

JP, I hope you have the greatest success, and I think you likely will.
